Styling Your Dining Table
Want to know the expert tips to style your dining table at home? Home Style Co shares simple elements to create a look as if it were designed by a property stylist.
Consider the size of your table
If you own a small bistro table, opt for a smaller arrangement. A tall/medium sized vase and a few smaller accessories will create the correct balance and proportion. If you have the space for a larger table, feel free to visually lengthen it with the use of floral or adding in extra accessories.
Varying Heights
Select your accessories varying in height to create balance and interest. Keep in mind of any artwork and colour already used in the space and incorporate these tones in your accessories to create harmony and avoid clashing.
For a simplistic look, a set of two matching vases with fresh greenery or faux floral for everlasting style always works beautifully.
Cluster of three
It’s a stylists’ number one guide when designing – creating an odd number of accessories to create visual interest.
On the dining table, this could look like a tall vase, a stack of books, and a small object on top.
Additionally, you could switch in a set of kitchen canisters and a small bowl of fruit to link the kitchen nearby.
Layering
You can even opt to take your styling one step further and layer your accessories. This is by adding in extra details and texture. Placing a wooden board or tray underneath your pieces, creating a gin and glasses set up, or adding a linen or plain tea towel creates a more detailed and rustic feel.
Creating a tall centrepiece isn’t your style?
You can still arrange a beautiful dining cluster using lower accessories such as pots, a bowl of fruit, a stack of books or mugs.
