Think about it, it can elevate meals and make even the simplest dinner feel special. To achieve this, you will only need the right combination of colors, textures, and some creative touches.
Whether you are setting the table for breakfast, lunch, brunch, coffee, or dinner you do not need to spend a fortune to end up with a stylish high-end looking table setting. Here are 9 table setting ideas for everyday that you can use to transform your meals experience at home.
1. The Power of Simplicity
If you are a fan of a clean and modern aesthetic, a minimalist table setting is a perfect everyday choice. Also, it’s so simple that it will not involve a lot of time or effort on your end!
Try to opt for neutral-colored plates, simple linen napkins, and sleek silverware. Clear water glasses or a simple mugs (that goes along with your plates) will add elegance to your table. Take it to the next level by adding a wooden centerpiece to your table with simple plants, or candles to complete the look.
To achieve this table setting you will not need a big budget, Hobby Lobby or Walmart will be your go-to place to find what you need trust me on this. For your minimalistic chic table you can buy the following:
2. Cozy Rustic Farmhouse
A rustic farmhouse theme can bring warmth and charm to your meals and you do not need much to complete this look. A burlap or linen table runner, mismatched ceramic plate, and rustic drinking glasses is all you will need. For the centerpiece of your table opt for dried flowers in a rustic vase.
In this case, everything you’ll need you can find it in Amazon:
3. Eclectic Vibrant Elegant
With time I’ve realized that boomers loooove to set up tables with a more eclectic and colorful approach aiming a boho-inspired table setting. Definitely not for everyone but surprisingly is super easy to achieve.
You will need to layer a vibrant colorful dinnerware, mix-and-match patterned napkins, and incorporate wicker elements. Pro Tip: IF you do not own a colorful dinnerware set you can opt for vibrant charger plates, you can find them at reasonable prices at Walmart. Don’t be afraid to play with the colors, use candles as part of your centerpiece with a wild selection of flowers.
As mentioned earlier, Hobby Lobby or Walmart will be your go-to place to find the items you need. If you have time you can even opt to pay a visit to flea markets and try to find vintage dinnerware. Just remember that the key here is focusing on bright colorful plates or charger plates from different stores, we are avoiding at all costs a perfect and aesthetic table.
4. Seasonal Theme
You might have seen this option coming! Adapting your table setting decor with the seasons will be super easy to achieve. Fall is the perfect opportunity to bring earthy tones to your table, with rustic accents, and pumpkins. During the Holidays red and green will be the protagonist from your table, adding candles, and pinecones will create a cozy atmosphere. Easter is easy, since colors will start to appear on you table again and using eggs (as the picture below) it’s a cute simple decor you can add. Summer calls for bright and pastel colors, flowers, and fruits as decorations.
Pro Tip: To achieve any of the examples mentioned above you can use natural elements like pinecones, leaves, seasonal fruits, rather than buying expensive decorations.
Small Details, Big Impacts
Regardless of the theme you choose, here are a few final touches to take into consideration to take your setting table to the next level:
- Napkin Styling: You can always fold or tie napkins creatively with ribbons, holder or twine napkin rings.
- Place Cards: When hosting guests you can add small tags for a special touch.
- Candlelight: Adding candles will elevate the ambience in seconds.
- Mix Textures: Don’t be afraid to combine woods, glass, linen, and ceramic together.
Creating a beautiful setting every day doesn’t need to be complicated or expensive. With a little creativity and resourcefulness you can transform your dining experience no matter the occasion.
