Spring is here and it's the perfect time for gathering with loved ones and enjoying the warmer days. Whether you're hosting a relaxed brunch, special dinner or simply looking to update your dining space, setting a beautiful spring-inspired table is a wonderful way to refresh your home. Here are some ideas to help you create the perfect seasonal tablescape.
Soft and natural colours
Pastel shades, soft neutrals and earthy greens make a perfect colour palette for a spring table. Use table linens in natural textures and gentle hues, and add seasonal flowers and foliage to create an inviting and harmonious setting.
Layered textures
Add depth to your table by mixing materials and textures. Start with a lovely linen tablecloth and layer with woven placemats, handcrafted ceramics and wooden serveware for a beautifully considered setting that feels warm and authentic. Recycled glassware with its natural irregularities is perfect for adding another element of subtle interest.
Sustainable tableware
Choose sustainably made and handcrafted tableware for a unique and conscious touch. Hand-thrown ceramics, handmade wooden serving boards and recycled glassware all add a special, artisanal feel while also supporting sustainable craftsmanship and independent makers.
Thoughtful accessories
Small details can make a big difference and help to tie everything together. Wooden bud vases are great for dotting around with dried flowers, or mix and match different vessels from around your home to use as small vases for fresh spring blooms. Vintage stoneware bottles also make lovely vases and are perfect for adding character.
Fresh, natural elements
Bring the outside in with fresh flowers, leafy foliage and natural textures. Pick some stems from your garden or opt for locally sourced, seasonal blooms in soft pastels or vibrant hues to bring your table to life. Add to small vases around the table for a beautiful display that's less obtrusive than a big centrepiece.
Natural candles
Add the finishing touch with some organic beeswax candles for a lovely warm glow without the harmful toxins of paraffin wax. Tall taper candles look beautifully elegant and add height without getting in the way, or choose tealights or votives for a more relaxed feel. Pair with handcrafted candle holders for a unique, artisanal look.
