a Tablescape That Reflects Your Personal Style
Your dining table is more than just a place to share meals—it’s an extension of your personality and style. Whether you love a perfectly coordinated look or enjoy mixing colors, patterns, and textures, designing a tablescape that feels uniquely you doesn’t have to be overwhelming. The key is finding a balance between your personal aesthetic and the occasion. Here are some creative ways to bring your vision to life effortlessly.
Mix & Match with Confidence
Do you love bold statements, or are you drawn to vintage charm? Mixing and matching tableware is a great way to express your personality, but doing it thoughtfully is key. Here’s how:
Stick to a unified color palette and play with shapes—try round and square plates for a playful contrast.
Combine different materials, like wood and metal, for an organic yet modern touch.
Use floral plates in varied colorways to create a visually interesting and dynamic table setting.
Pair our soft, stonewashed linen napkins in complementary shades to tie everything together seamlessly.
Make a Statement with Flatware
Flatware often takes a backseat in tablescape design, but it’s a delightful and easy way to elevate your tabletop without overwhelming the overall aesthetic. Move beyond the traditional silver or gold options and experiment with some unexpected choices, such as:
Matte black for a sleek, modern feel that subtly commands attention.
Rose gold for a warm and inviting touch of elegance that adds a hint of sophistication.
Iridescent finishes to add a whimsical splash and a touch of fun that can brighten any dining experience.
To complete your stunning arrangement, our handcrafted linen napkins in rich earth tones or soft neutrals make the perfect finishing touch, whether they’re draped casually across your plates or tied together with a simple, charming knot.
Layer with Intention
A layered table brings depth and dimension, making the setting feel rich and inviting. Try these unique layering techniques:
Instead of a standard runner, lay multiple runners horizontally across the table.
Play with varying shades of the same color for a subtle, sophisticated effect.
Mix solids and patterns to add visual interest while keeping the look cohesive.
Start with one of our signature linen tablecloths as your base—our high-quality, heirloom-worthy fabrics add an effortless elegance that works for both casual and formal settings.
Add our linen napkins in a contrasting or matching hue to bring texture and warmth to each place setting.
Bring in Natural Elements
If flowers are off the table (literally), look to nature for other ways to add interest. Potted herbs like rosemary, thyme, or basil not only bring a touch of greenery but also provide a lovely, subtle fragrance. Small potted plants can double as place cards—simply tie a handwritten tag around each pot for a thoughtful touch. For an earthier feel, gather bare branches or budding twigs from the yard and arrange them in a tall vase for height and drama. Other organic elements like seashells, feathers, or smooth river stones can be scattered along the table for a natural, collected-over-time look.
Create a Stunning Fruit Centerpiece
One of the best ways to add vibrant color and a fresh, seasonal feel to your table is with fruit. Lemons, oranges, limes, or even pears can serve as a beautiful and unexpected centerpiece.
create a striking fruit-based arrangement:
What You’ll Need:
A shallow wooden bowl, large ceramic platter, or footed compote dish
A mix of whole and sliced citrus (lemons, limes, oranges, or grapefruit)
Fresh greenery, such as eucalyptus, rosemary, or mint
Optional: tall taper candles or votives for added warmth
How to Assemble:
Start with a Base – Lay a linen runner or a few folded napkins down the center of the table to anchor your arrangement.
Arrange the Fruit – Place whole citrus fruits in the center of your bowl or platter, stacking them naturally for a slightly undone look. Tuck in a few citrus slices to add variety and visual interest.
Add Greenery – Nestle sprigs of eucalyptus or rosemary around and between the fruit to soften the look and create a fresh, organic feel.
Incorporate Candlelight – If you’d like a little extra ambiance, surround the arrangement with taper candles or small votives. Their warm glow will enhance the natural vibrancy of the fruit and greenery.
For a more rustic take, simply scatter whole lemons or oranges directly onto the table along a linen runner, mixing in sprigs of herbs or small bowls of nuts for added texture.
A beautiful table not only enhances your dining experience but also tells a story—your story.
