PROJECT 124
VALET TRAYS | ANITA'S EXPRESS | 225
MARCH 2020
Choosing the correct fabrics will make the designs pop!
When picking your fabrics and colors for your trays, keep in
mind where you'll be using it along with whether you'd like
it to match a season. For a valet tray that can be used year
round in any room, you can choose neutral colors that go
with any color palette or you can coordinate the tray with the
colors of the room you want to put it in.
The folded fabric borders of each tray give you a chance to
use fun patterned and textured fabrics. Natural wood and
marble textures are keystones in modern home decor, so we
chose to replicate that using our trays. We used a wood grain
textured fabric that has glints of gold for a contemporary
pop. We followed the gold through in some of the decorative
embroidery using gold metallic thread that makes the
stitches glisten. If you're creating a valet tray to go with
one of the seasonal attachments, you can make them the
traditional colors of Christmas, Easter, or Halloween so they
coordinate perfectly. With a project this fun and simple, why
not try out several colorways!
