I just love a new word, especially one relating to parties! So what is a TABLESCAPE?
You may come across this word in bridal magazines and other entertaining resources. A true tablescape is more that a centrepiece or tabletop arrangement. Tablescapes are design plans that detail the overall look of the entire table or surface taking into accounts its surroundings. Most often used to dress tables for special occasions, the tablescape principles can be used for any surface in the home, such as a coffee table or sideboard. A tablescape is a work of art, a small-scale landscape, which expresses a creative and personal touch.
So next time you are tablescaping (yes, it can be used as a verb too!), here are some tips:
*Every item must be chosen to complement the other items in the space.
*Incorporate elements of the season, occasion, or theme.
*Create a sense of harmony by repeating scale, colour and texture throughout, although not necessarily on direct proportion.
*Items do not need to match one another but they do need to make sense in some way.
Must-have tablescaping items include linen, candles, crockery, cutlery, glassware, chairs, and all the million of wonderful decor touches out there. In Good Company offers so many items to complement your next tablescape so browse the latest catalogue available on our website under Good Guides.
