Lucite tray
A handy catch-all
Lucite trays make an excellent catch-all. Just place on an entranceway console or kitchen counter and keep your miscellaneous items — cell phone, keys and mail — where they'll never go missing again. Bonus: A pretty design, like this gold silhouette pattern, adds a touch of glamour to any foyer.

For entertaining
Indoors and out, you'll be happy to have a multi-purpose tray close by. From breakfast-in-bed to serving condiments at a BBQ, it certainly makes for a handy food and drinks accessory.

Easy-access makeup
Displaying your makeup on a stylish tray will not only keep your products organized and clean — no more makeup-bag residue! — but you'll save time digging through a messy bag of old lipsticks and eyeshadows. Put a couple of glass jars on your tray to hold makeup brushes and tools such as tweezers and eyelash curler.

Keep your stationery
Note pads, pens and bills aren't always glamorous, but with a pretty and personalized tray, you'll be wishing you had more stationery to fill it with!

Organize the pamper room
While drawers and cabinets may store your bathroom paraphernalia, everyday basics like face wash, creams and serums mustn't be left astray. Group it all together in a tray for a unified look and to keep your counter tidy. Tip: Forgo the toilet paper stand and opt to stack rolls on a stylish tray instead.
