Spring brings a fresh rhythm to hosting: longer days, lighter dishes and more reasons to gather. Whether it’s a relaxed brunch or a table set for a full house, it’s a season for easy, thoughtful entertaining. To help bring it all together, we’ve partnered with stylist Charlotte Page, who shares her approach to creating tables that feel considered, personal and ready to enjoy.
Start with the base - the tablecloth. Whether you go bold, patterned or neutral, it sets the tone. Everything else follows.
It could be your favourite jug, something you love. That’s your starting point. From there, add pieces and build a table that reflects your personality. Guests are coming for your (and the food of course). I always begin with a clean, clear table - a blank canvas, and then layer up. That way, you can feel what works, what doesn’t, and create something that truly feels like you.
Homemade, proudly placed and clearly made for sharing. Plates are set, tea is poured and everything comes together with a sense of occasion. It’s a familiar ritual approached with a little more care, where making the effort is part of the enjoyment.
Napkins add design and texture - and don’t worry about being neat. Let them drape, tuck under a plate, or twist loosely. Minimal effort, but such a visual treat.
Is scent. A lit candle that smells divine is an easy way to add warmth. I like to place it near the entrance so that as soon as guests arrive, the scent journey begins. Bring your personal story to the table by adding something you use and love - it could be a piece you’ve collected, something from your travels, of simply an item you were drawn to. It’s also a great conversation starter.
