STYLING & MATERIALS

Materials and styling choices create the aesthetic and tell the story of your tabletop.

Add in a few extra textures with napkins and florals and you’re that much closer to the dinner party of your dreams. Check out a few of our favorite examples below!

TAKE-AWAYS

When styling your tabletop, there really isn’t a right or wrong. The most important piece of advice is to choose something that feels like you. Layering always adds dimension to your setting, combining different materials and textures will help make your tabletop feel more rich and give it a more lived in but still formal feel. When in doubt, stick with neutrals or a monochromatic color scheme and add in a bit of whimsy with patterned or vintage napkins. Most importantly, spend time enjoying the food you are cooking and the company you are sharing it with.
