I love all things tabletop-related. A lovely plate, beautiful flatware, and of course accessories like gorgeous flowers and illuminating candles. The right tabletop can turn an every day meal into a special occasion or take a fun party and make it memorable. It’s all in the details! There are some fun things going on in the world of tabletop design that you might consider adding to your cupboards.
1. Gold Flatware
While gold dinner accessories (above) have been in for a couple years now, things like gold flatware are now affordable. Hooray! I got a set of gold flatware for myself and I adore it. The only bummer is that it generally needs to be hand washed. I love using it for everyday, but it would be stellar for a party too.
2. Au Natural

The natural look is popular for a variety of reasons, including its understated beauty and ease of assembly. I recently went to the fabric store and purchased some linen, cut it to the length I wanted, and intentionally left the raw edges—it’s part of the charm! Pair it with some wildflowers picked from the garden and you’ll be perfectly in style.
3. Black and White

Black and white stripes are the perfect background for layering. Add some bright colors for a graphic and bold look. Tablecloths are not only great for entertaining, but also for everyday use.
4. Your Grandma’s China

It’s becoming popular to modernize grandma’s china with current flatware or more contemporary flowers. I love anything that reminds me of my grandparents so I tend to incorporate this style into my designs, regardless of trends!
