Table Accents That Add Charm and Elegance
Small touches can completely shift the tone of a space. A well-placed runner, textured table accents, or simple table accessories like candleholders, coasters, or decorative bowls bring polish without clutter.
Pair classic dinnerware and flatware with natural elements like linen napkins and wooden charger plates for an elevated yet welcoming look. For a more casual setting, try stacking plates in mixed finishes or adding soft lighting with tealights or lanterns.
You might be styling a formal dining room or a cozy breakfast nook. Either way, the key is balance: keep it simple, meaningful, and easy to live with.
Must-Have Home Bar Accessories for a Stylish Cocktail Hour
Stock your bar with a few essential tools and accessories to make serving drinks easier and more enjoyable. Start with a cocktail shaker, jigger, wine opener, and ice bucket—foundations for any setup.
Add glassware for the drinks you serve most often, and organize everything with a tray or stand. Include extras like bottle stoppers, peelers, or a bar spoon. Well-designed bar cart accessories keep your setup tidy and stylish, even when not in use.
Choose pieces that work hard and look good doing it.
How to Style Your Table
Different tables call for different styling touches. Start with table decor that balances form and function, then build around the shape, size, and purpose of the surface.
- Dining table – Anchor with a runner or placemats, then layer in simple items like a candleholder or a low floral arrangement. Keep sightlines clear for conversation.
- Coffee table – Use a tray to group smaller items—think stacked books, a candle, and a decorative bowl. Add height with a small vase or sculpture.
- Console or entryway table – Make it welcoming with a mirror or wall art above, then ground the surface with a lamp, catch-all tray, or seasonal decor.
- Kitchen or breakfast table – Stick to practical accents like a fruit bowl or linen napkins in a holder—items that look good and get used daily.
- Dinner table or buffet setup – For gatherings, add charm with a beautiful centrepiece, layered trays, and decorative touches to suit your theme.
You can decorate your table for any occasion with a few simple swaps:
- Thanksgiving – Add warm tones, gourds, and woven textures
- Christmas – Mix metallic accents with greenery or glass
- Easter & Spring – Soft pastels, ceramic bunnies, or fresh florals
- Dodzis – Layer amber glass, dark wood, or deep orange tones
