HOW TO DINE OUTDOORS IN STYLE

Adding a table runner to a table is a bit like adding a necklace (or tie) to your outfit. It gives an ordinary table personality and lays the foundation for the next step…

The best centrepieces are often easy and uncomplicated. Simply add some low-lying planters with greenery like herbs or succulents and finish by placing candles in holders at random along the width of the table runner.

Placemats help to strengthen the theme of your table. For instance if you’re going for a rustic, earthy look choose a woven placemat like hyacinth. Or if you want to add an accent colour, choose a colourful or quirky design.

While you don’t always need to bring out your finest china, a nice matching dinner set will give your table setting a polished feel. White is an easy colour to find and always looks great in any setting whether it’s rustic and relaxed or funky and modern.

Perhaps a vintage drink dispenser or a set of sleek wine glasses. Select a couple of special serveware pieces that you can set on the table to showcase an amazing salad or fresh batch of punch.
