Set the Foundation

Use a tablecloth, runner or bare table as your base.

  • Formal: Crisp white or metallic linen.
  • Relaxed: Woven textures or neutral tones.

Layer with Care

Start with a placemat or charger, then stack your plates and bowls. Play around with patterns and colours but keep them matching for a pulled-together look.

Personalised Touches

Add some flair with name cards, napkin ties or a sprig of greenery at each setting.

Festive Décor

Keep it simple and seasonal:

  • Candles for warmth.
  • Greenery or floral accents for freshness.
  • Seasonal items like ornaments or small gifts.

Keep it Practical

Leave space for serving dishes and glassware—avoid overcrowding. You can have too much of a good thing!
