Decorative Bowls & Trays
Decorative bowls and trays are the quiet foundations of thoughtful interiors. Each piece is hand-selected for its organic texture, graceful form, and ability to ground a space. From carved stone to woven rattan and glazed ceramics, this collection brings utility and beauty to consoles, coffee tables, and dining displays.
Elevate Your Tabletop with Decorative Bowls and Trays
A well-chosen bowl or tray does more than decorate — it grounds a space. In our sixteen years of styling interiors, we’ve found these pieces to be essential for adding purpose and softness to horizontal surfaces. Whether it’s a low stone bowl at the center of a table or a handwoven tray on a coffee table, each piece in this collection is curated for its quiet weight and coastal-inspired texture.
When styling centerpieces, scale matters most. On a dining table, choose a bowl that fills about one-third of the surface width to create balance without clutter. Trays are ideal for creating cohesion — use them to group candles, vases, or keepsakes into a single, intentional display that feels layered, not scattered.
Contrast is key to styling with depth. A matte ceramic bowl beside a polished rattan tray introduces tactile variety that plays beautifully with light. These pieces serve both form and function — anchoring seasonal botanicals, fruit, or found objects with elegance and ease.
Complete your arrangement with artisanal vases and vessels for added height, or explore our decorative jars and boxes to introduce varied scale. Together, these elements build the kind of layered, collected home that defines Delamere’s signature coastal style.
Styling and Caring for Decorative Bowls & Trays: FAQs
Many of our ceramic and porcelain bowls are food-safe for light serving. However, our stone, wooden, and woven rattan pieces are decorative only. We recommend checking individual product details or using a liner if displaying fresh fruit or food items.
For a balanced look, select a bowl that spans about one-third of your table’s width. This creates visual weight without overwhelming the surface or interfering with place settings.
Larger bowls can act as sculptural statements all on their own. For added texture, consider filling them with moss spheres, seasonal botanicals, or natural elements like river stones or dried artichokes.
Trays are perfect for clustering. Anchor one corner of your surface with a tray holding a candle, small vase, and a favorite book. This creates a purposeful zone while allowing the rest of the table to feel open and clean.
Gently wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid soaking or using harsh cleaners, as these can stain porous stone or compromise the texture of handwoven rattan.
