Thoughtful table settings don’t need to be complicated. Start with beautiful linens, simple layers, a little greenery and warm candlelight, then let the food and the people around the table do the rest.
01
Start with the mood
Before reaching for the plates, decide how you want the table to feel. Casual and relaxed, simple and
elegant, or a little more special? Let that guide your colours, linens and styling.
02
Layer your table with natural textures
Bring together linen, timber, ceramics and glass to create a table that feels warm, relaxed and effortlessly put together.
03
Create a thoughtful seating arrangement
Think about who will be around the table and where they'll sit. A little thought can make conversation flow and everyone feel comfortable.
04
Keep the centre low
Flowers and greenery look beautiful, but keep the centrepiece low enough that guests can see across
the table. A few smaller arrangements can feel more relaxed than one large display.
05
Napkins are an easy detail
A simple napkin fold, loose knot or napkin ring can completely change the look of a table. Choose
something with a little texture rather than worrying about complicated folds.
