Let's face it, who doesn't enjoy a fabulous table setting!? Whether its outdoor dining in summer, or cozying it up inside in Wintery weather, a beautiful table setting can create a great mood and make for a fun start to your lunch or dinner.
-
Napery: Add a pop of colour to your table setting with a colourful tablecloth or runner. Choose a material that complements the season, like linen or cotton for summer or something heavier and luxurious like velvet for winter.
-
Tea towels: Don't just dry dishes! Use decorative tea towels as placemats for an extra touch of elegance. Or as napkins if you haven't got any on hand; fold them neatly or tie them into a knot for added texture.
-
Candles: Create a cozy ambiance with the use of candles. Place them in candle holders and don't be scared to use multiple colours and shapes for a fresh, modern look.
- Props: A few spontaneous op shop finds or cute trinkets you've picked up at a local market all add a bit of personality and can even be a fun starting point for conversation.
-
Flowers: Fresh flowers always add the all important colour splash and a touch of nature to a table setting. Consider seasonal blooms or herbs or foliage for an added pop of texture and fragrance.
-
Cushions: Add comfort to your seating with decorative cushions. Choose colours that complement your napery or have fun with pattern clashing to mix things up.
Incorporating these elements into your table setting can elevate the look of your home and really bring your personality to the table (no pun intended...). Don't be afraid to mix and match textures, patterns, and colours to create a unique and beautiful display. Whether you're hosting a dinner party or simply setting the table for a family meal, these tips will help you create a stunning table setting that you and your guests will love.
