Few trends are quite as accessible as tray-caping, so it's no surprise that we've seen it everywhere, from small curated apartments to the most impressive celebrity homes. The latter is the case of Will Smith, who demonstrates his take on the trend via a circular black tray filled with candles, glass vases, and a plant. However, while his chosen objects tap into trayscaping traditions, the placement is much less conventional.
Trayscaping, simply the art of styling a tray with decorative (and personal) objects, is most commonly seen atop coffee tables, side tables, and consoles – typically in living rooms, entryways, or even home offices. In Smith's case, however, he has used this decorative technique in the most practical space of all: the kitchen island.
