Mixing Materials [3 Must Know Tips for a Stunning Dining Table Experience]

Mixing Materials
If you plan on an abundant centerpiece, keep decorations to a minimum. A dining table becomes overcrowded quickly with dinnerware, cutlery, glassware and linens. We recommend setting these down first and work around. Different materials offer texture and visual interest. If your dinnerware is plain white it will look stunning with colorful, textured linens. Blue and white plates, a favorite of many, are serene with natural open-weave place mats. We love tall crystal candle holders in varying heights. They create an exciting composition with the extra bonus of never interfering with cross-table conversations!

Dress Up Individual Place Settings
After the table scheme is created it’s important not to forget to add interest and decor to individual place settings. Dress up each seat with a lovely decorative accent such as a beautiful napkin ring, place card, or natural leaf. This extra touch will make your guests feel special and enhance the overall look of your table.

Add Plenty of Sparkle and Shine
Our hammered stainless steel designs are stunning additions to any fête. At an afternoon brunch the shimmering surfaces sparkle. At an evening dinner party they glow with candle light. Whether you set small Luna Bowls for individual guests, a pair of classic Paloma Salt & Pepper Shakers, or an oversized Mesa Tray for your entrée- you can never go wrong having bright stainless steel serveware on your table. The ease of care and the beauty of the metal will allow you to relax with your family and friends and let the magic begin!
