Top tips for TABLE SETTING
1 Mixing and matching adds visual interest to the table. Think vintage with new; detailed with plain; glass or textured ceramics with fine china. 2
Be bold with your choice of cutlery. Sleek shapes and funky colours will give the table a modern edge. 3
Side plates and napery provide a great opportunity to express your personality or a theme. 4
Timber serving boards look great and can double as cutting boards and trivets. 5
Small, easily changed pieces such as napery and glassware can give a table a fresh look for little outlay.
