Inspiration: Tray tables for every interior style
Inspiration: Tray tables for every interior style
A tray table is both practical and decorative – a piece of furniture that can easily be moved around and used in many ways. Whether you want an elegant serving table for the living room, a functional side table for the bedroom, or a flexible piece for the balcony, there are many possibilities. In this article, you’ll get an overview of what to consider when choosing a tray table, as well as inspiration for different types and brands.
The article presents a selection of tray tables in various styles, materials, and price ranges. The aim is to provide an overview of the many options on the market so that you can more easily find a tray table that suits your home and your needs. The information about the products is based on publicly available descriptions from manufacturers and retailers and has been summarised to provide a clear and informative overview.
Factors to consider when buying a tray table
When choosing a tray table, it’s important to consider both function, style, and choice of material. Here are some of the most important factors to take into account.
1. Purpose and use
First, think about how you primarily want to use the tray table. Should it serve as a serving table, side table, bedside table, or perhaps as a small work table? A tray table with a removable tray is ideal for serving, while a fixed table works better as a decorative piece of furniture.
2. Material and appearance
Tray tables come in many materials – from classic wood and metal to modern glass and plastic. Wood gives a warm and natural look, while metal and glass suit a more minimalist or industrial style. Choose a material that harmonises with the rest of your interior.
3. Size and height
A tray table should fit the space you have available. In small rooms, a light and airy design can be an advantage, while larger models can create a clear focal point in the centre of the room. The height should be adjusted according to where the table will be used – lower by the sofa, higher by the bed, or as a serving table.
4. Mobility and functionality
A tray table with wheels or a foldable stand is practical if you want flexibility. It makes it easy to move the table between rooms or take it out onto the terrace. Removable trays make serving easier and add extra functionality.
5. Design and colours
Colour and shape have a big impact on how the tray table fits into your home. Neutral colours such as black, white, or natural wood are timeless choices, while colourful or patterned tables can add a personal touch and serve as a decorative feature.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a tray table and a side table?
A tray table usually has a removable tray or an edge that makes it easy to carry items without spilling. A side table is usually stationary and mainly used as a surface for placing things.
Can a tray table be used as a bedside table?
Yes, many tray tables work perfectly as bedside tables. They give a light impression and can easily be moved if you want to change the interior.
Which materials require the least maintenance?
Metal and plastic are the most low-maintenance materials as they can easily be wiped with a damp cloth. Wood requires a bit more care, especially if it’s untreated, but in return, you get a warmer and more natural look.
How do you clean a tray table?
Clean the table with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid strong cleaning agents, especially on lacquered or oiled surfaces. Glass tables can be polished with regular glass cleaner to maintain their shine.
What size tray table should I choose?
It depends on where the table will be placed and what it will be used for. A small table of 40–50 cm in diameter works well as a side table, while larger models of 60–70 cm are suitable for serving or as coffee tables.
