Decorating your table for summer

The beautiful summer table is minimalist, light and gives pride of place to nature.
A seaside atmosphere on the balcony or terrace, a country stroll in the garden... We are looking for a change of scenery in all simplicity.

How to give a rustic and chic atmosphere to your summer table, with a few tips?

Natural materials

Opt for noble and organic materials. From the tablecloth to the napkins, choose linen or hemp table linen . Ceramics and terracotta are invited on the plates and other dishes. Then, add softness with light wood elements , such as solid oak and chestnut.
In addition, water becomes a central element of the table to give a touch of freshness, essential for summer meals.
Bet on beautiful water carafes filled with citrus fruits and flowery ice cubes. And play on transparencies, with smoked or different colored glasses .

Flowers and foliage

The trend is towards dried flowers, and especially the accumulation of foliage. Flowers of all sizes and colors and your table will be sublimated!
Play on the Mediterranean spirit with dried flowers in green, blue and yellow tones. Shop for some seasonal dried flowers from your florist and distribute them in single-flower vases, in vases or even as napkin decorations... Finally, create the WOW effect with a floral table runner , with our solid chestnut single-flower vases . We love the shadows created by the flowering sprigs on the tablecloth, with the sun.

Soft colors

As for colors, we prefer neutrality. In keeping with the natural materials used, the summer table is adorned with beiges, greens and sunny earthy tones. All the same, we allow ourselves more colorful touches to liven up the whole thing sparingly. With very ripe fruits, colorful flowers, fanciful tableware. We also allow ourselves a few patterns: speckled, stripes, polka dots, tie & dye...

Although discreet at first glance, the summer table is full of enchanting little details that will arouse curiosity among your guests!
