When it comes to entertaining, it’s the little things that really bring everything together. From the music choice to the decor, attention to detail can take a dinner party from a simple affair to a night to remember.
One such detail having a moment as of late is tablescaping — the art of putting together a beautiful and aesthetically pleasing dining table your guests are bound to adore. If you’re wondering how to replicate the Pinterest-worthy tablescapes you might have seen online, a great place to start is by elevating your table linen and napery.
Whether you prefer a minimal vibe or are on the hunt for some bold, funky patterns, we’ve got you covered with four different styles to suit every look. Shop our favourite tablecloths, placemats, napkins and more below!
