A beautiful tablescape can seem like an intimidating prospect, especially when you’ve seen so many examples of polished finished products. But if you break down the elements of a good tablescape, you’ll find that a gorgeous, easy, and wallet-friendly solution isn’t very far away!
Before you start, take some time to consider the look you’re after, and gather up supplies.
4. Use different levels and textures.
Tablescapes can look static and boring if everything is at the same height and in the same material. To make yours look dynamic and exciting, experiment with placing decorations on different levels. Stacking objects or putting them on trays or in vases are common methods that do the trick. Then choose a few contrasting textures to use; a velvety tablecloth with a burlap runner would be one way to try this.
A welcoming tablescape is the perfect way to start off a holiday gathering. And once you’ve gotten comfortable with the basics of a good tablescape, it will become easier and easier to mix and match different pieces, making a beautiful new arrangement each time.
