Ideas for Decorating Tiered Trays

Hello, friends. Decorating with tiered trays is such a fun way to add personality to a space. They don't take up much space and you can easily change them out for each season. By using a few small items, you can make a statement with a tiered tray. And you don't have to spend a fortune! 

Today I'm sharing lots of ideas for decorating with tiered trays throughout the year.

For fall, I added some natural decor to my 3 tiered wooden tray. It only took a trip to the grocery store and then a few minutes to style it.

I added persimmons, pumpkins, nuts, and eucalyptus leaves for a natural look.

I have to admit, when I first saw the persimmons at the grocery store I thought they were some kind of exotic tomato. They are like a tomato that grows on trees and is sweeter. 

I haven't made anything with them yet though. I really bought them for their color. Is that crazy? I hope not. I love to decorate with produce, lol. 

I also added a few of my dried hydrangeas as filler and a copper tea tin for some contrast. 

And a vintage Thanksgiving postcard rests in a flower frog on the top tier. Aren't the colors pretty?

Here's how I styled the same 3 tiered wooden tray at Christmas.

Valentine's day is always fun to decorate. I added some little preserved boxwood topiaries and pink accents to my 2 tiered wooden tray for this look.

For a summer theme, I added some seashells and beachy items to this 2 tiered wooden tray. 

I styled this 2 tiered tray with some blue and white pieces along with a few succulents. It's nice for spring or summer.

• Blue Willow Teapot
• Blue Willow Tea Cups

And I styled a 3 tiered wooden tray for fall as well.

In addition to some orange, amber, and copper accents, I added some blue and white stoneware mugs for a nice contrast. 

I love the way the vintage amber bottles look with the light streaming through them.

This tiered tray was part of my spring decor in the dining area this year. You can see more of it HERE.

Out on the deck, some dishes and napkins are stored in a tiered tray. All of the deck decor is HERE.

And this tiered tray was perfect for serving cupcakes at a graduation party a couple of years ago. See more ideas for graduation and outdoor parties HERE. (White enamel utensil caddy found HERE.)
