Beautiful table settings all year round
When it comes to table settings, you can make it beautiful all year round, no matter the season. Let us give you a few examples of how you can style your table for different times of the year.
Winter table:
When winter arrives, it's time to make your table a bit extra cosy and elegant. Think of colours like deep blue and glittering silver – they create a bit of winter magic. Use white fabric - preferably a fine tablecloth - and add some crystal glasses and silver cutlery. And don't forget the candles. A handful of candles will make it feel warm and inviting.
Spring table:
When spring arrives, your table can do the same. Choose light colours like pink and green. Grab some light fabrics you might already have and decorate the table with crepe paper flowers and candles you've painted yourself.
Summer table:
When summer is here, the table should be ready for full-on celebration, colours, and fun. Choose beautiful pastels or bright, strong colours to give the table some life. Use, for example, a cotton tablecloth - and feel free to add beach items like shells or colourful napkins to the table. It fits perfectly with the relaxed atmosphere of summer.
Autumn table:
Autumn means coziness - and so should your table. Use warm colours like red, brown, or dark green that suit the season's mood. Grab some rough materials like wool and wood and decorate with pumpkins or chestnuts. Candles can also create extra coziness.
How do you decorate a table?
- Choose a style: Think about whether you want a formal, casual, or romantic look. You should also choose colours or themes you like – but remember to keep a common thread so that everything fits together.
- Use a tablecloth: Put a tablecloth on the table – for example, a linen tablecloth, where the style is both simple and classic.
- Plates and cutlery: Use plates and cutlery that you like. Usually, you place the large plates underneath and the smaller ones on top.
- Glasses and beverages: Choose glasses that match what you're serving. Colourful or special glasses can make the look fun and playful.
- Napkins and decorations: Fold the napkins neatly or use napkin rings that you make with macramé.
- Flowers or other decorations: Place flowers or something decorative in the middle of the table - it always adds a little extra flair.
- Place cards: If you like, you can make small cards with names for your guests. It adds some personality and coziness.
- Candles: Create a lovely atmosphere with candles. Taper candles or tealights are super cosy on any table. Either gather them in the middle of the table – or place them together in small clusters.
- Personal details: Add some small things you like – and that guests will remember.
The most important thing is to have fun with what you're setting on the table. Let your personal style shine through and enjoy creating a cosy table for you and your guests.
