Sortd’s Guide To Setting The Perfect Table This Hosting Season.
The holidays are fast approaching, and with them come all those festive gatherings—Christmas lunches, family dinners, and maybe even a cocktail party or two. That means it's time to start thinking about how to set the perfect table for all your hosting plans! We know that as the host, you want your table to be just as memorable as the food, and we’re here to help you nail that perfect tablescape.
In this blog, we're dishing out everything you need to create a table that is both aesthetic and practical. Let’s get into the details, from the base of the table all the way to the smaller details —so you can focus on enjoying the company while your table does the talking.
Build Your Base
Table linens are the foundation of your tablescape. Start with a tablecloth or runner that complements your colour palette. Layer with napkins, and consider using placemats for added texture. Mixing patterns or textures can add visual interest, just keep it balanced! Our favourites are these products from Linen House below. They’re affordable, easy to wash, and come in the cutest colours.
Add Layers And Textures
Choose dinnerware that fits the occasion and your theme. Classic white plates are versatile, while patterned or coloured dishes can add flair. Stack plates thoughtfully, and don’t forget to include coordinating cutlery and glassware. Consider floral arrangements, candles, or even seasonal elements. Keep heights varied to create depth.
In The Roundhouse have a beautiful collection of printed plates and servewhere and is a really easy way to make your tablescape pop with minimal products. We’re also absolutely loving Love Ally candles, which double as home decor.
Fill With Food And Friends
Bring your table to life with colourful dishes and drinks that delight the senses and spark conversation. Each vibrant bite adds fun and joy to the gathering. We opted for Italian to suit our Sicilian theme!
