Style it for spring

As the seasons change so do our eating habits, as we say goodbye to hearty casseroles and hello to salads once more. With this in mind, take the opportunity to rearrange your kitchen and dining room cupboards, storing slow cookers and casserole dishes at the back and making your salad bowls and sharing platters more accessible.

Lighter nights and warmer weather offer the opportunity to begin eating alfresco once more, so treat yourself to some unbreakable tableware. These days you’d be hard-pressed to tell the difference between melamine plates and acrylic glassware and the real thing!

If your table linen is looking past its best, then invest in some new textiles such as woven napkins, a linen runner or an embroidered tablecloth.
