Run, don't walk

Finding the perfect table runner can be a bit of a challenge. But this little gem is the foundation for a jaw-dropping table design.  Runners add texture and make outdoor dining spaces feel a bit cozier. A neutral, versatile, design is always a good place to start if you’re not super confident in your styling abilities.

Dish it up

Presentation is everything and plates are the canvas for your delicious meal, but that doesn’t mean they have to be white. Experiment with different plate sizes, shapes, and colors to create visual interest and add a pop of personality to your table setting and your food. Layering different plates can bring depth and dimension to each place setting.

Don’t fall flat

A necessity for a dinner party, but one that doesn't have to be ordinary. Fun textures or colors, like the gold flatware used by Francesca, add a little something extra! Sprinkle some magic onto your table by incorporating fun flatware. It's the secret ingredient that takes your table setting from average to extraordinary.

Tie it together

They're not just for wiping your lips; they're an opportunity to show off your impeccable taste. Fold those babies neatly and place them beside the plate or get creative with napkin rings and folded designs. Choose napkins that complement your theme or go for classic neutral tones.

Flower power

A table without flowers is like a party without drinks - you need to have a lot of both. Play around and have fun, you can do no wrong with florals on a dinner table. Consider a simple floral arrangement as a centerpiece or individual blooms in small vases scattered along the table.
