How to Style a Resin Vanity Tray in Every Room of Your Home

A handcrafted vanity tray does more than just hold your things — it holds space for beauty, intention, and calm. Whether it’s beside your bed, in the bathroom, or greeting guests at your entryway, a handmade resin tray blends form and function in the most artful way.

At Esselle, our trays are thoughtfully hand-poured in California. Here are our favorite ways to style resin trays throughout your home — so your daily rituals feel as beautiful as they are grounding.

🛏️ 1. Bedroom Vanity: Your Morning & Nighttime Ritual Anchor

Place your resin tray on a dresser, vanity, or nightstand to keep essentials within reach — without the clutter.

Style Tip:
Choose a soft-toned tray (like blush or sand) and pair with your favorite candle, a crystal or two, and everyday jewelry. A small dish inside the tray helps separate rings or earrings.

Why It Works:
Creates a calming corner where beauty meets order, perfect for your slow start or restful wind-down.

🛁 2. Bathroom Counter: Skincare, Elevated

No more serums tipping over or bottles scattered. A water-resistant resin tray is the perfect catch-all for skincare, perfumes, and even a bud vase.

Style Tip:
Use a neutral tray to let your beautiful bottles shine. Group items in odd numbers (like 3 or 5) for a natural, magazine-worthy look.

Why It Works:
Keeps your countertop tidy while adding a spa-like elegance.

🕯 3. Living Room: Candle Nook or Coffee Table Statement

Your resin tray becomes the foundation of a cozy candle moment. Layer textures: think dried florals, a match jar, and a small stack of books nearby.

Style Tip:
Use a rectangular tray on a side table with your favorite seasonal candle. Add a coaster and you're ready for a cup of tea or glass of wine.

Why It Works:
Instant warmth. Instant mood.

🚪 4. Entryway: Functional First Impression

Set your tray on a console table near your front door. It’s the perfect place to drop keys, sunglasses, or lip balm — all while making your entry feel styled.

Style Tip:
Pair with a small bowl, incense holder, or Palo Santo bundle for a naturally boho vibe.

Why It Works:
Turns a utilitarian spot into a welcoming vignette.

🎁 Bonus: Use as a Gift Base or Keepsake

Our trays also make beautiful gifts — and can even become the gift wrap. Add a candle, bath salts, or chocolates, and wrap it all in a linen cloth. Beautiful and reusable.

💛 Final Thoughts

Your home deserves pieces that do more than just fill space — they should hold meaning, beauty, and ease. Our handmade resin trays are created with that in mind: slow-crafted, eco-conscious, and made to support your everyday rituals.
