Getting Your Table Ready For Spring

Author : AlexFc Thomason


         


With the snow piling up on those of us in the East Coast, Spring just can't come fast enough and what a better way to get into the season than with a fresh new look for your table. Nothing can get us out of those winter blues and into the joy of spring like a fresh look in the kitchen or dining room. And no, it's not too early to start thinking about it, as you brush the snow off your car or chip the ice off your gloves. Spring is everywhere already in table linens, with florals and pastels in tablecloths, placemats and table runners that make you feel a sense of bliss, joy and renewal that one can only feel with the coming of Spring. For those of you who are eager to start bringing the new season into your home, we are here to provide some tips on how you can do just that. Here are a few tips from the experts.

Wood is in!

With a trend towards natural goods and products, wood is gaining popularity in many home decor areas. From decorative pieces to wood cups, it's hard to avoid wood in any home decor store these days. And nothing does say Spring like some nice wood accessories, especially for those of us trying to be more "eco-friendly." For your table, find some fabulous eco-friendly wood napkin rings or wood charger plates to bring a natural outdoors feeling to your table. Pair those charges with some woven vinyl placemats for the perfect casual look. You will be one step closer to that great green outdoors you know is coming!

Use Colours and Patterns

The world is your oyster when it comes to colours and patterns in table linens. You can play up the colours of the decor you have in your home or choose something that will brighten your space. In terms of the most common picks for Spring, Florals and Pastels tend to be the most popular when it comes to creating a Spring look. If one of these peaks your interest, try pairing a Floral tablecloth with plain napkins in a complimentary colour or vice versa. Or try a floral runner and floral napkins with solid colour placemats or a tablecloth. For pastels, use complimentary pastel colours in a placemat, napkin table runner combination for a soft, springy look. One of our personal favourites, try combining aqua coloured table linens with chocolate brown. Mix and match wherever you can! It will keep things exciting on your table.

Go Green....Literally!

Everyone is going green these days, and you can too because celery green is in! This is one of big colours for Spring in Tablecloths, placemats and table runners. Use it wherever you can and mix and match with a floral or multi-coloured stripe. Nothing screams "Spring!" like some green accents. Green linens work really well with white dinnerware – the look is fresh and clean and certainly creates that fresh feeling you are looking for.

So the weather outside may still be frightful, but that doesn't mean we can't start planning for the warmer weather. After all, it won't be long before you're hosting pool parties and serving summer salads. The end of winter is a time to celebrate, and to do that, you need to be prepared with all the right accessories. Whether you go green, floral or pastel, your table linens and accessories will go a long way to creating the perfect spring setting in your home.
