Do you usually choose a theme for your table?<\/h1>\n

Choosing a theme is the first tip I have to give you, on the art of tablescaping or, in other words, decorating your table! It’s also the aesthetic expression that will enrich the experience, while sitting at the table, transforming the atmosphere into something unforgettable.<\/p>\n

Who doesn’t enjoy savouring a meal at an attractive table? It means that, whoever has prepared ,it has put in the time and effort to turn that moment into something more special and unique.<\/p>\n

The aesthetics of a table play a key role in the mood of those enjoying the dining experience, as well as it is an inspiration to the way the food is presented.<\/p>\n

Starting from a specific theme for decorating a table, will help you selecting the elements, while establishing a common thread between them. And the table setting, while in harmony, creates a more visually appealing decoration.<\/p>\n

My choice of theme<\/h3>\n

You can even start by choosing a theme by first taking inspiration from the tableware you’re going to use. This was my exercise when choosing the styling for the tables I set with Costa Verde’s Foggy, Sandy and Groundy collection<\/strong><\/a>. The collection itself already has an associated storytelling, inspiring us into absorbing the same mood.\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The visual narratives I created took into account the porcelain’s neutral palette of tones, such as grey, terracotta and beige. In addition, I embraced the collection\u2019s concepts, while evoking serenity, earth and nature\u2019s strength, combined with an elegant and modern design.<\/p>\n

The insights were designed into creating a relaxed table silhouette, elevating us towards a meditative experience, which carries us into the midst of Nature.<\/p>\n

The colours<\/h4>\n

I favoured monochrome, while obeying the “feel-good” tones of porcelain \u2013 sometimes colder, sometimes warmer. Therefore, all table accessories (glasses, cutlery, textiles, chandeliers, candles, vases, among other elements) were chosen within the colour palette of Costa Verde\u2019s dinner collection. Both table decorations ended up by exemplifying how you can create different decorations, while using the same porcelain dinner service!<\/p>\n

The decorative elements<\/h4>\n

To evoke nature on tables, I\u2019ve selected different simple decorative elements, that I managed to display along the centre of the table: a vase with fresh flowers, in an unpretentious and spontaneous arrangement, dried logs in a vase and differently shaped stones.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For the second decoration, I chose a small orange tree, to bring on the sensory experience of nature (the scent of oranges!) directly into the table setting.
\nAlthough Nature is part of this Costa Verde collection\u2019s mood, the truth is that I always try choosing natural elements, bringing nature into everyday spaces as a “reminder” of the importance of nurturing our connection with Nature.<\/p>\n
