Wood boards such as bamboo and walnut are among the most popular materials, although glass, ceramic, and plastic trays and platters are alternatives for those looking to match specific decor styles and settings.
Epoxy trays and platters give a burst of color, which complements the natural hues of the tray’s wood. As many of these trays create an ocean-like effect—as if a wave were rushing gently over the board—they’re ideal for coastal interiors, beachside picnics, and bathroom vanities. If you love a vintage look, browse shops for vintage trays and platters, including intricately decorated ceramics, classic plastic serving trays, and the most famous of all—the silver platter.
