To get the most of your home’s cocktail ottoman, it’s important to accessorize it with the ever handy and always ready to serve,  ottoman tray.  Since so many homeowners are discovering their fabulous function and versatility, they’re trading in their coffee tables  for large multipurpose ottomans. These ottomans are great for resting feet, extra seating, and when topped with an ottoman tray, become tables as well. The demand for cocktail ottomans has created the need for ottoman trays in every shape, style and size and has given home accessory designers the opportunity to let their imaginations run wild.  Why get a basic coffee table when you can get so much more from an ottoman?  There are lots of different types of ottoman trays out there.  Let’s take a look at some of the most popular ones.

Types of Ottoman Trays

For contemporary homes, look for ottoman trays created from sleek materials such as chrome, glass and molded plastic with graphic prints and bold patterns. For traditional decor, pick up a brass or silver tray or for a more subtle look, try a black or brown leather ottoman tray.  Some ottoman trays are designed to match the ottoman, and others are meant to stand out a bit.   Look for designs that wrap the ottoman tray around the top of the ottoman to prevent it from slipping off!  In most cases, all you need to do is flip the top over and place it back on the base to use the tray securely.  As for the layout of the storage ottoman tray, you can get one with a single area or a tray that divides into separate areas.  If you already have an ottoman and are looking for a tray to match it, it is best to just look for a style and layout you like that matches your ottoman as best as possible.  Pay close attention to the size to ensure a good fit.

If you haven’t already purchased an ottoman, the best thing to do is to get one that includes a tray that you like.  This way, you can get a storage ottoman with tray as a matching set, eliminating the need to purchase a tray as well.

Ottoman serving trays are essential elements in any living or family room that contains a cocktail ottoman because they offer a sturdy place to rest drinks and snacks while protecting the ottoman from spills and stains. They’re also great for carrying items and for holding a bowl of popcorn on the sofa for movie night with the family or someone special. For cocktail parties, place a tray on one half of the ottoman so as to leave space in case extra seating is needed or cover the entire top of the ottoman with one large ottoman tray so there’s room for glasses and plates and napkins and everything your guests may need.

When shopping for ottoman trays, always start your search on the Internet. The Internet offers buyers the greatest selection of every style ottoman tray and quite often the best pricing options as well. Also, many online retailers offer special or free shipping deals!  Just make sure you take note of the dimensions of the storage ottoman tray before you buy it, since some of the pictures on the internet look pretty big, but are a bit misleading.  If you need to, get out a yardstick or ruler so that you have a good idea of the size you are working with.
