Preparation
These low-profile stars can corral collections, protect furniture, and bring pulled-together polish to any surface and every room. Below, Martha Stewart Living home editor Lorna Aragon shares eight chic and ingenious ways to showcase their organizational prowess and enduring style. First up? The spacious tray, above, which was set on a low stool; it’s Lorna’s go-to for maximizing space in bathrooms. This organically curved ash-wood version ($60, westelm.com) stocked with pampering supplies—a bar of soap is housed in a Kiso Lifestyle soap dish ($18, jinenstore.com), while soaking salts are held in a wooden bowl from Crate & Barrel ($8, crateandbarrel.com)—and aromatic fresh eucalyptus, offers a spa experience within arm’s reach of the tub. And when the in-laws arrive, you can carry the whole setup to the guest bedroom.
