Tabletop Art Makes Dining the Center of Attention

June 27, 2011

How many model homes have you been in where the table is set absolutely magnificently and makes you feel that you must live there? Many residential designers help their clients select everything in their homes — right down to the tabletop, that all too important area of the home where family and guests are entertained for hours on end. The table is the place of gathering for food, drink, conversation and enjoyment. So why not set your table to the max and make it the center of attention in and of itself?

Many of us think that all we need is one “good” set of dishes and another “everyday” set. Exactly where did that notion come from? If you love dishes and flatware and changing things around, why limit yourself to two choices for years and years? If you love table design, then put your extra money into several wonderful dish sets, maybe even doing a little mixing and matching, too. Think about every element which will go onto your table: dishes, glasses, stainless steel flatware, candlesticks, bowls and serving plates. Think color, shape and style, too. Then let your imagination soar and have a wonderful time setting the tone. After your guests leave, reset the table and leave it up . . . model home style. I guarantee your home will take on a whole new aspect of hospitality!
