Styling Your Two-Tiered Tray: A Seasonal Guide

A Two-Tiered Tray is a versatile, stylish decor item suitable for any home. 

Its tiered design allows for creative, space-saving displays, making it perfect for showcasing your favourite seasonal items and adding a touch of charm to any space. 

Here’s a guide on how to style your Two-Tiered Tray for each season: Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring.

Summer: Bright and Breezy

Summer is all about bright colours and light, airy vibes. Style your Two-Tiered Tray for summer with fresh, cheerful items.

1. Colours and Textures: Opt for bright, beachy colours like turquoise, coral, and sunny yellow. Incorporate light, breezy fabrics such as linen or cotton. Use textured items like woven baskets or seashells to evoke a coastal feel.
2. Decor Items:
• Fresh Fruits: Display a small bowl of lemons or limes for a refreshing touch. You can elevate the look by draping Lemon Decor Beads in or around the bowl.
• Summer Flowers: Add a small vase with sunflowers or daisies. If fresh flowers aren't feasible, use faux blooms that capture summer’s vibrancy.
• Beach-Inspired Elements: Incorporate seashells, starfish, or sand dollars. You might also include a mini beach umbrella or a small glass jar with sand.
• Candles: Choose scents that evoke summer, like sweet and juicy Peaches or the smooth, coconut-y Beach Day. 
3. Arrangement Tips:
• Top Tier: Add the smaller items like seashells and candles. This tier can also hold a small decorative tray or dish for added organization. 
• Bottom Tier: Place the larger items, like the vase of flowers or a bowl of faux fruits. Arrange them in a way that creates visual interest without overwhelming the space.

Fall: Warm and Cozy

As the weather cools down, your Two-Tiered Tray should reflect the cozy and comforting atmosphere of fall. Embrace rich colours and textures to create a warm, inviting display.

1. Colours and Textures: Think deep, earthy tones like burnt orange, rich brown, and golden yellow. Use textures like burlap, wood, and plaid to evoke fall’s cozy feeling.
2. Decor Items:
• Pumpkins: Incorporate mini pumpkins (we love Fabric Pumpkins for their longevity), or gourds in various sizes and colours. These are quintessential fall elements that instantly create a seasonal vibe.
• Miscellaneous: Include a small decorative sign with a fall-related phrase, like Pumpkin Patch. Scatter faux autumn leaves or small leaf-shaped decorations.
• Warm Drinks: Display a coffee mug or tea cup, or a jar with cinnamon sticks and dried apple slices to represent fall’s warm drinks and spices.
• Harvest Elements: Add items like acorns, pinecones, or small bundles of wheat for a touch of harvest season.
• Candles: Opt for warm, spicy fragrances like cinnamon, apple, or pumpkin. Candles such as Hello Pumpkin or It’s Fall Y’all will complement your fall decor and fill the air with seasonal scents.
3. Arrangement Tips:
• Top Tier: Place the pumpkins and mug or cup here.
• Bottom Tier: Arrange the candle, harvest items and sign. Include a small, cozy throw or fabric piece to enhance the tray’s fall aesthetic.

Winter: Festive and Elegant

Winter is a season of celebration and tranquillity. Style your Two-Tiered Tray to reflect the elegance and festivity of the season, with touches of warmth and sparkle.

1. Colours and Textures: Embrace cool, serene colours like icy blue, silver, and white, along with warm tones like deep red and gold. Use textures like velvet, glitter, and faux fur to add a touch of elegance.
2. Decor Items:
• Winter Florals: Include a small arrangement of winter blooms, such as poinsettias or evergreen branches. If using faux plants, choose ones with a touch of shimmer or frost.
• Holiday Ornaments: Add a few sparkling ornaments or decorative baubles. Small, glittery snowflakes or pinecones can also add a festive touch.
• Candles: Choose scents that capture the essence of winter, such as peppermint, cinnamon, or pine. Candles like North Pole or O’Christmas Tree will enhance the seasonal ambiance and add a festive touch.
• Winter Treats: Display small jars of holiday candies like red and green M&M’s, or a tray with a variety of cookies.
3. Arrangement Tips:
• Top Tier:  Add a candle and your treats. Use a small decorative plate or tray to group the treats, making them easy to access.
• Bottom Tier: Arrange the winter florals, ornaments and another candle here, with a focus on creating a visually striking centrepiece.

Spring: Fresh and Vibrant

Spring is all about renewal and fresh beginnings. Style your Two-Tiered Tray to reflect the rejuvenating spirit of the season with light, cheerful elements.

1. Colours and Textures: Opt for soft pastels and vibrant greens. Use light, airy textures like chiffon, cotton, and fresh greenery.
2. Decor Items:
• Spring Blooms: Include a small vase with tulips, daffodils, or other spring flowers. If fresh flowers aren’t an option, use faux ones in bright, cheerful colours.
• Easter Elements: If celebrating Easter, add decorative eggs or bunny figurines. You could also include a small Easter basket with treats inside, like Cadbury Mini Eggs.
• Garden Items: Display small potted plants or herbs. Use garden-themed decorations like watering cans or seed packets.
• Fresh Fruits: Add a bowl of apples or pears for a touch of freshness and vitality.
• Candles: Choose light, fresh fragrances that capture the essence of Spring, such as clean and floral scents. Candles like Laundry on the Line or Lilac Breeze will brighten your space and evoke the freshness of the season.
3. Arrangement Tips:
• Top Tier: Place the vase of flowers and Easter elements here, creating a focal point that captures the essence of spring.
• Bottom Tier: Arrange the garden items, candles and fresh fruits, ensuring they complement the top tier while adding variety to the overall display.
