High Style Table Settings
Trends Point Towards Elegance and Sophistication
Traditional tables are undergoing a glamorous makeover, thanks to new
decorating trends focused on romance and elegance. Luminous
candlelight, iridescent fabrics, and shimmering confetti are
bestsellers this season.
Following are five trend-setting ideas for creating a dramatic dinner table.
1) Define your place settings with chargers. These larger size
decorative plates add complementary color and metallic tones to the
table when placed under china or stoneware. Traditionally, chargers
have been featured on the most elegant tabletops - from posh
five-star restaurants to state dinners. Today they are being used in
sophisticated homes everywhere.
2) Create drama with table runners. Runners have never been more
popular, particularly in shimmering fabrics like organza or velvets.
These bands of color and texture enhance your tabletop while
highlighting the beauty of its natural surface, not to mention the
fabulous food being served.
3) Light candles everywhere. Antique candlestick sets and candelabras
are out. Smatterings of tea candles and votives are in. Use a variety
of heights, widths, colors, and styles to create a sensational effect.
4) Sprinkle confetti for added sparkle. Paper confetti is
passé. Now you can get it in sophisticated shapes, vibrant
colors, and metallic materials to meet all your needs. Sprinkle some
on your tabletop or buffet for a fabulously festive look.
5) Accent platinum and silver with gold. Glassware instantly adopts a
new look with sheer metallic ribbon tied in bows around the stems.
