Tiered Winter Trays

December 10, 2024

When it comes to winter decor, tiered trays are like mini winter wonderlands and the ultimate combination of charm and versatility! These compact, layered displays are perfect for adding a festive touch to any corner of your home. Their layered design allows you to showcase multiple decorative items in a small footprint, making them perfect for countertops, coffee tables, mantles, or entryways. Plus, they’re endlessly customizable, so you can switch up your decor throughout the season.

Whether you love a tray with a single tier or three, a rustic vibe or a modern twist, here’s how to make your winter tiered tray a showstopper:

Start with a Theme

Here are a few for inspo:

White Christmas: Think white pinecones, snowmen, ceramic houses, frosted greenery, and silver accents.

Candyland Delight: Fill it with peppermint candies, gingerbread figurines, and red-and-white stripes.

Rustic Charm: For a farmhouse look, add pinecones, mini wood logs, and burlap ribbons.

Gnomes: These are cute no matter what, so get creative with greenery, ornaments, or fairy lights.

Snowman: Add coal, white candles, and snowballs.

Hot Cocoa: Style with mugs, cocoa jars, and a “Hot Cocoa Bar” sign for a warm vibe.

Bottle Brush Trees: Create a forest-like display with trees, wreaths, pinecones, and snow.

Winter: Fill it with reindeer, pinecones, mini trees, or any cozy winter element.

Ornaments: Think beautiful, simple pieces filled with garland, ornaments, and lights.

Layer with Texture and Play with Height

Use a mix of greenery like faux pine branches or eucalyptus and add cozy elements like mini knitted ornaments or faux fur accents.

Place taller items, like mini trees or candle holders, on the back tier. Style with smaller decor, like ornaments or figurines, to fill in the gaps.

Finish with a Glow

Add fairy lights or small LED candles for that magical touch of winter sparkle.

Showcase your masterpieces throughout your home (or office). Tiered trays aren’t just cute—they’re functional and fun! They’re the perfect way to display your creativity, tie your holiday theme together, and spread cozy winter vibes throughout every space.
