The year of 2020 was many things, but undoubtedly, it was a year very much spent at home – which has put even more of an emphasis on ensuring our surroundings are pleasing to the eye and exceeding our comfort level. Personally, throughout lockdown, I had rearranged my room over six times – solely for the purpose of needing a fresh and exciting environment to get me going on those days when I needed it the most.

Now, fast forward to the present, where we’re welcoming guests back into our homes; we’re finding ourselves naturally creating the chicest table settings and pulling all the stops when it comes to our matching arrangments. Lately, we’ve seen a trend called ‘The art of table dressing’, which is essential when you match your dressing to your table set (I know it sounds funny, but it’s actually pretty cute.) The key is to create the ultimate set-up by mixing in various plates, table linens, and glassware that compliant your look.

Ahead, find three unique table settings to inspire you for your next in-home dining set-up.
