What are your top tips for laying a stylish dining table?
‘Try to keep it simple with pure white or warm vanilla linen, which will enhance the colours, texture and the beauty of whatever you are serving.
Whether your style is contemporary: layer with table runners and placemats; or traditional: layer with a table cloth, add a personal touch to your dining table, by placing fun or charming name tags, to avoid that guests’ moment of indecision, about where to sit when they arrive.
Creating a stylish dining table will guarantee your guests will always have something to talk about.’
How can you keep white linen looking crisp and fresh?
‘Always wash your white linens separately with a mild detergent. My secret tip to keep white linen dazzling is as follows: put 2 large table spoons of baking powder in the wash, which is not only ecological sound but will keep your linen sparkling white.’
