How to Decorate a Tablescape

Choose a color and a theme

Opt for around three colors: two neutrals and one accent color. The neutrals should make up the largest portion of the decoration.

Start with a base layer

Use a centerpiece, such as a large dinner plate, for your base layer. There’s no hard and fast rule about color, but try to stick to the theme.

Think practically

Consider what you or your guests will need during dinner and don’t forget to save space for it, whether that’s serving dishes or drinks.

Choose your texture

You can add a reflective or gloss texture, with silverware or vases, or a coarse and natural texture, with hessian napkins.

Add the final details

Your accents and decorations needn’t be fancy. A centerpiece can be as simple as a few beautiful small vases with leaves and tealight candles.
