It’s worth investing in a good quality linen tablecloth to always have on hand for entertaining. You can’t go past something from I Love Linen’s gorgeous range — the French Flax Linen Table Cloth in Marine Blue Stripe ($135) and the French Flax Linen Table Cloth in Ivy Stripe ($135) are classically elegant choices that would work in both a casual setting or a fancier soiree. Tableware Touches Mixing and matching colours and patterns makes tableware a canvas for personal expression, elevating the dining table into a reflection of individual style and creativity. In The Roundhouse’s Green Bon Appétit Plate ($29 per plate, pre-order) is unassuming yet bold. Add a pop of sophisticated colour and dimension with Straw Wave Placemats from In The Roundhouse ($50 for four), which come in light blue, green, pink, and yellow. Complete the table setting with a White & Beige Cutlery Set ($129 for 16 pieces), with white handles and a soft beige dip on end; they are beyond versatile and will go with any colour scheme. Front and Centre At the heart of any dining table is the centrepiece arrangement. Candlesticks add warmth and ambiance and also help you play around with height and dimension. The Percy Candle Holders from McMullin & co. ($159 for a pair) have a unique wavy shape that makes them the perfect accessory to style your tabletop. Add a classic white bowl, like this Nigel Fruit Bowl from McMullin & co. ($139), in the middle of the table, and style it with fresh fruit for a super easy yet impactful touch. Grand Finale Whether it’s a beautifully styled platter (when it comes to immaculate and romantic grazing tables, no one does it quite like Stories To Gather) or a bunch of fresh flowers, a dazzling vase like the quirky Pomponette vase from Maison Balzac ($159) will make any posy look a million dollars. These final elements are key to elevating your dining experience. Final Check Once you’ve styled the entire table, assess it from the point of view of where you’ll be sitting and from further back to see how all the elements (the plates, candlesticks, flowers, shapes and arrangements etc) come together and make any tweaks if needed. If you’re keen to level up your table-setting skills, we’ve got you covered. From selecting the perfect foundation to adding those impactful final touches, each step is crucial in creating an atmosphere that welcomes and impresses your guests. 11 SITCHU MAGAZINE
