Our tips to style the perfect tablescape. 

  • Pick your favourite Art-chives India hand printed table linen and arrange your table.
     
  • Mix and match table mats and napkins to create an interesting juxtaposition.

  • Bring out your favourite china, silverware and glasses. Use the expensive china!
  • Pick local seasonal flowers or simply forage some leaves from the garden and arrange them in short vases or glasses. Or simply spray petals across the table.

  • Throw some bric-à-brac across the table – shells, stones, silver objets d'art, photographs or even little verses of haiku written on paper.  

  • Dim the lights, add some great ambient music and light the table with candles dotted all over. Nothing like dinner in candlelight. 

  • Do the same for lunch.
