3: Wooden Tray Coffee Table Centerpiece
Your coffee table naturally sits at the visual center of the living room. You can build a portable festive centerpiece using a wooden serving tray. This anchors the room and contains any potential wax or oil spills.
The solid wood provides a grounding, earthy contrast to shiny brass elements. This acts as the perfect welcoming focal point for visiting guests. You achieve maximum visual impact for very little money and effort.
What you need
- A large acacia or teak wood serving tray
- Small brass idols (Lakshmi or Ganesha)
- Fresh marigold flowers
- Small clay diyas
- A decorative fabric napkin
Step-by-step guide
- Clean the wooden tray thoroughly and place the napkin down.
- Position your brass idols in the exact center of the tray.
- Frame the idols tightly using the fresh marigold flowers.
- Place the small clay diyas around the tray's inner edges.

Pointers
- Ensure the flames sit far away from the decorative napkin.
- Change the fresh flowers every two days to maintain vibrancy.
- Move the entire tray easily if you need table space.
