Tablescape Therapy: Turning Routine Meals into Special Events

How to romanticize your tablescape and meals at home: Block printed table napkins and matching placemats with floral pattern, table styled with plates, cups and vase of dried flowers

We all need a bit of romance in our lives to alleviate the stresses of the day-to-day. My favorite way to romanticize my life is through the decor I place around my home. From fresh flowers in a favorite vase I picked up in Arizona to hand-drawn art taped to the walls, my personal space is where I add sweetness to my "everyday". 

One of the easiest ways to change my mood? Elevating the tablescape.

I'll be the first to admit: I sometimes eat on the couch while catching on my favorite show. But for those times when I truly want to be present and enjoy my meal, this is how I dress up the table and turn a routine meal into a special event

Set the Setting

It doesn't take much to set the mood and establish a theme. All you need are a few statement pieces, like our block printed placemats and matching table napkins. 

  1. Effortless Charm: The striking prints add color and warmth without cluttering the table
  2. Practical Beauty: Our placemats and napkins are washable—they’re designed to absorb all of the traces of food without dirtying your table
  3. Decision-Free Decorating: They make styling the table quick and effortless, especially on those days when you just need to eat.

Get Creative: The Napkin Bread Basket

On those rare days when you have a few extra minutes to get creative, try repurposing an unused napkin into a makeshift bread basket. 

  1. It's a clever DIY way to add extra print and color to the table. 
  2. It's a guaranteed conversation starter. (fair warning: you may have to give a mini-tutorial at the table!)
  3. It saves up space on smaller tables, taking up much less space than a bulky bowl or tray.

Final Touches

To tie the whole look together, focus on teh smaller details:

  1. Floral Accents: Opt for dried flowers if you don't have the time or budget to always have a fresh bouquet on hand.
  2. Keep it Low: Keep the arrangements short so they don't block the view of your dinner partner or TV show! 
  3. DIY Napkin Rings: No napkin holders? Grab some simple twine or ribbon and opt for a romantic bow instead.
