Eliam Silver Decor Tray

To preserve the specialized "lightly antiqued" finish, we recommend regular dusting with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For the mirrored interior, use a soft cloth dampened with a small amount of mild detergent or a dedicated glass cleaner. Based on our material expertise, you should avoid harsh abrasive chemicals or scouring pads, as these can damage the delicate antiqued texture over time.

Yes, decorative items with reflective surfaces are a strategic choice for small-space living. The antiqued mirror interior and silver finish of this tray help bounce light throughout the space, creating an illusion of depth and openness. This makes it a functional and aesthetic asset for urban apartments or smaller living areas that benefit from increased natural light.

Scale is essential for a balanced look. This square tray measures approximately 22 inches, making it a substantial piece that is best suited for large coffee tables or oversized ottomans. For the best visual impact, professionals recommend that a tray should occupy roughly one-half to two-thirds of the furniture surface, leaving enough space around the edges to maintain a clean, uncluttered appearance.

The mirrored interior of this tray is an excellent choice for candles, as the surface beautifully amplifies the flickering light to create a warm, inviting ambiance. While the glass mirror is durable, we recommend placing high-heat candles in a protective holder or on a coaster to ensure the longevity of the antiqued finish and prevent direct heat transfer to the tray's surface.

Contemporary design often relies on a mix of textures to add character and depth. The silver tones of this piece align perfectly with modern color palettes like gray, navy, and charcoal. The subtle "antiqued" effect adds a layer of sophisticated, lived-in luxury that prevents a modern room from feeling too sterile, making it a versatile accent for current decor trends.

Protecting your home’s surfaces is a top priority. While this tray features a high-quality contemporary construction, we always recommend ensuring the base is clean and free of dust before placing it on polished wood or glass. For extra protection on sensitive surfaces, many of our clients choose to apply small adhesive felt pads to the corners to provide a soft buffer between the tray and the furniture.
