A Simple Spring Table
Spring brings longer, warmer days as nature begins to unfold. After months of cold temperatures, it is a time to open windows, usher in the breeze, and sounds of Spring and embrace a new season at home.
Whether you are hosting leisurely brunches or intimate dinners, Spring is a wonderful time to create a beautiful table and share a special meal with family and friends. Creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere at home is just as important as the food being served. When it comes to gatherings, keeping everything simple and thoughtfully executed, from the menu to the table is key. We prefer to use a neutral palette as the grounding base when planning a table across the seasons. Colour, texture and pattern can then be layered in as desired or brought in through food and florals.
Creating a simple spring table:
-
Lay the table with the season in mind, incorporating interesting textures and tones, mixing old and new pieces.
-
Start with a simple runner or table cloth to dress the table or leave bare for a more natural look.
-
Incorporate natural seasonal touches such as branches or blossom to bring the spring table scape to life. Use a single centre piece or add multiple vessels along the table.
-
Create simple place settings, adding favourite tableware; ceramics, glassware, cutlery and napkins to add texture and tonal variation.
-
Personalise each place setting with a small name tag, sprig of foliage or include simple eggs for Easter.
-
Add candles, whether simple tealights or dinner candles to add ambience for a beautiful and welcoming table.
-
Include music to engage the senses and create atmosphere.
Dressing a table makes any meal or gathering feel special and is a simple way to bring beauty in to our home and cultivate a sense of joy. Investing in quality, timeless pieces that will last is a good way to ensure things have longevity.
