I Finally Got a Concrete Jewelry Tray - Here is What Happened

Okay, I have to be honest with you. When I first saw a concrete jewelry tray on someone's dresser, my first thought was: 'That looks cold and hard.'

But something made me curious. Maybe it was the minimal look, or maybe I was just tired of the same old ceramic trays everyone has.

So I grabbed one. And now I cannot imagine my dresser without it.

Why Concrete Works Surprisingly Well

Here is the thing about concrete: it is heavier than it looks. Unlike those cheap resin trays that slide around, concrete stays put. No more hunting for your rings in the morning.

The texture is also something special. Each tray has these subtle patterns that formed while it was setting. No two are exactly alike.

What Colors Did I Pick?

I went with a soft grey at first, but now I am thinking about getting a pink one. They have this muted blush tone that looks surprisingly warm in bedroom lighting. Who knew concrete could feel cozy?

The Bottom Line

If you are looking for something different, give concrete a chance. It looks simple but actually adds character to your space.

And if you are like me and always losing jewelry, the weight alone makes it worth it.
