How to Create a Stunning Tablescape
When you’ve had a long busy day, it’s all too easy to throw together a quick dinner and grab a knife and fork to quickly sit at the table – or even worse, have a TV dinner with your plate on your lap. However, is there anything more relaxing and indulgent than a decoratively laid table, filled with fresh linen, your best crockery and beautiful flowers?
The trick is to prepare your tablescape in advance of sitting down for dinner. Perhaps set the table the night before, so you can look forward to cooking your food and anticipate your time at the table that evening. Or, if you have friends coming over, ensure you have everything you need for the table well ahead of the date so that you have one less thing to worry about on the day. This is also true for any special dates that you might be planning a tablescape for, such as Christmas or for a birthday. The more time you’re able to put into planning and decorating your tablescape, the more ‘wow factor’ it is going to have on the day.
And for those of you wondering what exactly a ‘tablescape’ is, it is essentially a term to combine your table’s centrepiece and place settings, or the overall decoration of your table.
Tablescapes set the mood for every event, whether it’s an intimate dinner party, Sunday brunch, or just a romantic meal for two. We hope our blog post has shown you the importance of putting the time and effort into a beautiful table display for creating a special atmosphere, and we look forward to seeing how you get on!
