Setting an elegant and minimalist table for the holiday season

Special occasions deserve a special table. Whether it's a formal dinner, a holiday party, or a celebration, setting an elegant table creates a memorable atmosphere for your guests. Follow this step-by-step guide to transform your table into a work of art worthy of the grand occasion.

Choice of colors

Before you start setting your table, think about the colors and style you want to use. Make sure the tablecloth, napkins, and accessories work well together. Whether you prefer a classic approach with linen tablecloths and delicate china or a more casual vibe with burlap table runners and rustic accents, the key is to create a visual harmony that will appeal to your guests.

The location of the utensils

Did you know that utensils are usually arranged in the order of use?
Just like the organization, the placement of utensils is orchestrated intuitively and according to the flow of the meal. The fundamental principle is to start with the cutlery positioned on the outside and gradually progress to those closer to the plate. Forks find their place on the left of the plate, while knives are aligned on the right side with the blade facing inward. Spoons then follow, arranged after the knives, in a thoughtful sequence for a fluid and elegant dining experience.

Folding napkins

The art of napkin folding enhances the table by adding a delicate touch of elegance. Nowadays, it is much more environmentally friendly and careful to choose cloth napkins than paper ones. We recommend experimenting with creative folds such as fan or pocket folding to add a touch of originality to your presentation. Carefully arrange the napkins above the plates or next to them accompanied by a carefully chosen decoration. Thus, each fold becomes a miniature work of art contributing to the refined atmosphere of your table.

Adding decorative accessories

Accessories like centerpieces, candles, fresh flowers or seasonal ornaments add a finishing touch that will complete your table design. However, be careful not to overcrowd the table! The goal is to add decorative elements without hindering conversation and while keeping everything very minimalist. Opt for well-chosen centerpieces that capture attention without overshadowing the rest of the table, creating a visual harmony that will contribute to the overall elegance of your festive arrangement. The key is in the balance where each accessory naturally fits into the whole.
