I don’t care what anyone says — eating on your sofa does not mean you’re lazy. It means you’re a total badass who loves comfort. And who says you must sit at a dining table to enjoy your food anyway?
For me, eating is all about happiness, and doing so on your sofa is definitely a cozy privilege for a self-sufficient adult.
To make the sofa or bed eating (don’t judge) experience even better, put your meals on a beautiful antique silver platter. It feels a bit bourgeoisie, but hear us out: it elevates the way to nosh.
A silver platter adds an air of class and elegance and provides a stable surface to chow down on favorite foods while sitting in pretty much any location.
Dining on a silver platter instantly feels posh. And although it may feel like an incredibly luxe item for home dining, antique silver platters or even new ones are quite affordable.
That said, there are lots of silver platter options to choose from. If you’re going for a vintage vibe, you could easily snag an antique platter from a reseller like eBay, Etsy, or Poshmark. For a more modern feel, Amazon or Wayfair have an array of great silver platters for sale.
Because of their classic look and tone, silver platters effortlessly fit into any home aesthetic and can even give your home a more refined look and feel if you choose to use them as a display piece between uses.
The best silver platters serve a multitude of purposes. They can be used as an individual use tray, serving platter, or even a cheeseboard to create charcuterie displays.
If you’ve been searching for food trays for your home, this is your sign to purchase a new silver platter.
