How To Set A Cottage Table For A Casual Cottage Style
by Elke Houghton
To set the tone for a welcoming meal where friends and family gather around the cottage table think airy and light. A cheery and bright cottage table means linens and dishware in sunny country colors or refreshing whites with flowers in bloom and fresh food from the kitchen.
Setting a cottage table in view of the above and the following ideas you will naturally create an inviting atmosphere.
A cottage table setting is achieved by bearing in mind to use tablecloths layered or single, placements, napkins and runners with vintage embroidery and lace, stripes and checks, retro prints, solid colors or just all white. Cottage tables are also very popular using woven placemats in natural rustic materials like sea grass. You can also use straw mats, or guest towels as napkins, for a surprising effect.
When setting your cottage table with white, the shape doesn’t need to match. When using repeated shapes you can coordinate the colors to match. The charm of stylish cottage table settings is to mix-and-match. Frisky checks blend wonderfully with retro print or stripes.
Inviting low vases or bowls with sunflower blossoms match beautifully with red china. Bring the outside in with a cottage table set in fresh white with dazzling accents of lemon yellow and grass green.
A larger glass bowl with fruits will give a refreshing addition to your cottage table. You can also use a Victorian container of some sort to snuggle in some candles in moss. That would be a very attractive centerpiece.
Set your cottage table for any mood you desire and it will be a delight for your whole family and your guests. You will create warmth and relaxation by creating a casual cottage touch in setting your cottage table.
