Looking for makeup vanity tray decor that leaves room for your favorite beauty products? Think ornate mirrored trays, little brush cups and pink bottles beside flowers.
These ideas include makeup arrangements plus a few perfume and jewelry displays you can borrow from.
You can keep things simple or fill your tray with the pieces you reach for most. I especially love the small dishes and decorative holders.
Even your lipsticks can be part of the decor!
Vanity tray ideas worth saving
gold scrolls and pearl details
We’re starting off strong with this gorgeous oval mirrored tray. I love the gold-tone scrolls around the edge and the pearl-style hair clips beside the perfume.
Leave a little space between your hand cream, jewelry and bottle if you want to show off that mirrored base.
pink matches and shiny silver
How cute are those pink-tipped matches? They bring a little color to this silver-tone tray, with its covered candle and tiny decorative box.
Try a clear holder for your hairbrush and taller beauty products like the one at the back. You don’t need every container to match.
brown tray and upright brushes
If you are looking for something simple to put together, this one is for you. A brown rectangular tray holds skincare bottles around a tall, pale brush holder.
Stand your hairbrushes at the back and keep shorter items near the front. The little gold-tone jewelry dish sits just outside the tray.
two tiers of pink perfume
I am obsessed with this two-tier display. The pink bottles and bow-topped perfume look so pretty against the gold-tone trays.
Group your smaller bottles along the front like these. Don’t forget to leave room for that little round handle at the top.
clear cups for makeup brushes
Got more brushes than one holder can handle? This arrangement gives them several little homes on an ornate silver-tone tray.
I love the mix of tall and short clear cups. Try separating your pencils, smaller brushes and larger brushes so you can see what you’re reaching for.
little dishes and a swan
This may just be one of my favorite displays here. The little white swan holds makeup tubes while shallow dishes keep jewelry spread out across the front.
There are even lipsticks in the clear branched holder! The framed bird pictures behind the mirror are another lovely detail.
beige tray and pearl strands
Don’t want to go overboard with beauty bottles? No problem!
This round beige tray pairs a perfume bottle with a watch, rings and a pearl-style necklace.
I love the small white sculptural candle beside them. A little vase of branching stems gives the arrangement something taller without filling the whole tray.

white tray with gold handles
The pink perfume bottles are so pretty in this setup. They sit on one side of a white rectangular tray, with jewelry and a small brown box on the other.

Try a gold-tone tabletop mirror behind your tray to follow this look. Keep your makeup in a separate organizer if you’d rather give perfume its own spot.
a tiny neutral arrangement
If you’re looking for a display that keeps things simple, go with a narrow beige tray and two matching-shaped perfume bottles. The little white bubble-shaped piece beside them is such a cute extra touch.
pink lip gloss and a shell dish
Calling all lip gloss fans, this is a cute way to display your collection. The tubes sit in a pale shell-shaped dish beside rows of shiny capped products.
I especially love the pearl-style strands tucked along the left side. Keep taller perfume bottles at the back if you want to try this full tray arrangement.
woven details and small flowers
This is another pretty way to keep your display small. Two beauty bottles sit at the front of a tan woven tray, with delicate flowers behind them.
The framed photo beside the tray makes the corner feel personal. Choose a favorite photo of your own rather than adding more products just to fill the space.
pink roses and little perfumes
How adorable is that little box of pink roses? I love it beside the candle and golden-colored dropper bottle on this round, gray-veined tray.
The small perfume sprays have their own spot near the front. Try keeping your minis together like this rather than hiding them behind bigger jars.
white roses and silver shine
Give your everyday beauty products a pretty backdrop with a round silver-tone tray. The white roses and clear lidded jar are my favorite parts of this arrangement.
A tiny footed cup holds cotton swabs in the middle. It’s a lovely detail to borrow if you already keep them on your vanity.
ornate perfume tiers
If you are looking for lots of decorative detail, then this one is for you. There are patterned gold-tone rims, a round handle and perfume bottles across both levels.
I love how the ornate mirror echoes the tray behind it. For your own version, I’d leave out the lit candles among the bottles and let those detailed edges stand out.
a lipstick bowl and jewelry cup
Who says every lipstick needs its own upright slot? This display puts a whole collection in a large clear bowl beside a narrow rectangular tray.
The footed jewelry cup is such a pretty touch. Try keeping your compact and perfume on the tray while the larger bowl sits alongside it.
gold-rimmed mirror tray
I am obsessed with this gold-rimmed tray and its little feet. The tall perfume bottle with the rounded clear cap looks gorgeous in front of the brush holders.
Try this makeup vanity tray decor if you want brushes and fragrance in one place. Keep the holders toward the back so the smaller jars don’t disappear behind them.
amber bottles on beige
Don’t want pink or lots of shiny details? No problem there!
This round beige tray keeps things understated with amber-colored bottles, black caps and a large candle.
The cream tube lies across the front rather than standing up with everything else. I’d keep this arrangement just as simple.
an everyday makeup spread
This is a lovely idea if you prefer seeing your makeup laid out. A pale compact, brush, lip products and jewelry sit across a silver-tone tray with a detailed rim.
I love the touches of pink among the neutral packaging. For your own setup, keep any lit candle separate from the makeup and paper rather than copying its placement here.
pink beads and a perfume atomizer
How pretty is that perfume bottle with the squeeze bulb and tassel? It sits beside a small mirror and a brush holder filled with pink beads.
The decorative lidded jar gives this tray even more detail. Try a scalloped white liner underneath your pieces if you like the look shown here.
pink bottles beside carnations
Last but definitely not least, we have this pretty pink arrangement. I love the carnations beside the large round mirror!
The pale rectangular tray holds rows of beauty products on top of a black book.

Keep your flowers beside the tray rather than inside it to leave more room for bottles. The pink packaging already ties the two together.
