Whimsical Table Styling Inspiration

Embrace creativity and colour to build a modern-meets-whimsical tablescape!

To achieve this look, you’ll want to layer an assortment of textural elements to add depth and interest to your tables. Don’t be afraid to pair unusual shapes and textures together for an eclectic feel. Think: patterned plates, coloured glassware, linen napkins and copper cutlery paired with mismatched vases, wildflowers and candles.

When it comes to your colour palette, use a mix of soft pastels with a pop of bold colour to add contrast. To avoid overwhelming the space, stick with 1-2 base colours with 3-4 accent colours, and keep this consistent throughout your flowers and stationery, too.

Classic Table Styling Inspiration

If timeless sophistication is more your style, then keep your tablescapes clean and classic. Stick to a refined palette of whites and creams with a hint of gold or silver to elevate the overall look.

Decorative crystal glassware, classic white dinner plates and white linen napkins tied into an elegant knot will help you bring your tablescapes together, paired with white blooms and scattered white candles.

Moody Table Styling Inspiration

Embrace your dark side with a deep and moody palette! Layer luxe black plates with black and gold cutlery, then add a pop of colour with deep plum napkins, patterned blue plates and blue glassware.

A moody tablescape is all about balance, so be sure to add some lightness through your flowers. Complete the look with some tapered black candles, sleek black stationery and crystal champagne coupes.

Organic Table Styling Inspiration

Incorporate earthy tones and natural textures to create an organic-inspired tablescape. Shades like amber, terracotta, stone and burnt orange work beautifully together for this look, paired with metallic tones to add a touch of luxe.

Elevate your tablescape with gold cutlery, gold rim charger plates and crystal glassware to impress your guests, paired with lush flowers and textural linens. Don’t be afraid to experiment with elements such as fresh fruit, nuts and dried foliage to add interest to your table styling!
