With an abundance of long weekends and this gorgeous weather, we are in serious brunch (and lunch and dinner) mode. Whether your poison is a strong coffee, a morning matcha or something cold and bubbly, we simply love getting together with our friends for unhurried brunches – especially when there is a beautiful table setting thrown in the mix.
As you know we love ourselves a bit of tablescaping, and there is nothing like a gathering of friends to showcase your style and pizazz. With this in mind, we’ve created three table top worlds for you, each with its own flourishes and distinct personality. With the right sort of tableware, linen and finishing touches at the ready, possibilities are endless.
So whether you’re entertaining for two, or the whole extended family, here are three table top designs for you.

The Classic
For a more classic, timeless table, you can’t go wrong with a tonal palette, and an edit of handcrafted ceramics, good quality linens and delicate cutlery. The key here is to add interest with texture and natural materials.

Mediterranean Moments
If you can’t get to Amalfi anytime soon, then channel that Mediterranean spirit with colourful napery, on-trend patterns and wiggly lines, and a beautiful summer bouquet. If you’re worried about clashing colours, start with one hero colour to build around, to keep things looking cohesive. We can’t think of a better vibe for a group lunch with the gals!

Dark and Moody
For maximum mood-enhancing vibes at any summer gathering – GO DARK! Deep, saturated hues and textur are all critical in this oh-so slightly masculine setting. Look for pieces with clean lines and materiality, and anything that is a slick combination of form and function works with this setting.
