Island Trays: Will It Fit and Stay Practical?

The short answer

A tray corrals island clutter into one intentional vignette and gives the eye a single edge to read. Size it to leave breathing room on the island top, keep the grouping low so it clears sightlines, and choose something you can lift off when you need the surface for prep.
