Guest Blogger: A Diary of Lovely
Hello dear From the Right Bank readers, I’m Helena and I blog over at A Diary of Lovely. Well you can’t even begin to imagine how excited I am to be here, Ally is a blog myth/idol of mine! And the question is simple, what is my design trend of the moment, the one I can’t stop applying in my home, the one I never get tired (though if you usually read me, you might get bored of hearing me saying it all the time!). Trays that is, they unclutter, give personality to a room and create a cohesion effect. “Tray bars” as I call them is one of my faves ways to use them!
Thank you so so much Ally for having me here. I’m beyond honored. xoxo

Great guest post darling. Totally drool worthy
I have a tray…love their appearance and how they make things appear a lot more ORGANIZED.

Great post on trays, Helena! A small tray on a Tom Ford book is a sure fire winner. Plus, IKEA have some great value, stylish trays in store at the mo!

I so love trays, I have so many that I can’t use them all at once. I tend to change them out from time to time. I’ve since fell in love with brass, so I’ve started collecting them. I think I have about 12 now
Love this Helena! I totally agree, I group everything on trays in the bathroom, bedroom, and I just made a "water bar" on a tray table in the living room, Mr. Deer and I aren't big drinkers so we took all kinds of gorgeous bottles of water, it looks lovely! Fabulous guest post!

I have an obsession with trays too! I've always wanted to turn one into a bar. I have one on my vanity and it's so awesome.
I can't get enough of trays–and thankfully since they're so practical too, I don't think this trend is going anywhere!

So many wonderful ideas for trays I had never thought of. You are very talented; great post.
Ooh! Love the last image of the trays in the home office. Brilliant!

Agreed I have a tray that sits on the back of my toilet and it holds all the necessities for a bathroom but keeps them neat and organized and looking quite lovely

Nice guest post!
ox, Mon
I love using trays too. I need some good ones to put these ideas to work.
Fabulous post Helena! I'm a huge tray fan myself. All of these are gorgeous

Yes, yes – I love trays! I have quite a few of them around my house – not sure it's an obsession yet, but it's getting there!

I use trays for everything in my house- they are such an easy way to clear the clutter without actually having to "clear the clutter"
Love this, especially the orange Hermes tray! Oh how I want one!!!
