How to set a luxury dining table
Preparing a very important lunch or dinner requires time and good taste. The result must be very personal. There are several factors to consider and you should not miss any. If you are one of those hosts who want their special celebrations to be kept in each guest’s memory and you need to surprise everyone and make them eager to repeat, we recommend that you continue reading.
To start with the most obvious, a large table is necessary so that all the guests feel comfortable and with adequate personal space. In addition, it is essential so that the central dishes do not end up piled on top of each other. If the tablecloth is textile, it must be perfectly ironed and must be long enough, but make sure it does not drag. The chairs are another important element for everyone’s comfort and must combine with the desired atmosphere. On the other hand we have tablecloths, essential to dress the table with the style you are looking for. This is what helps the most when it comes to finding that classic, modern or vintage touch.
Another basic item for a memorable dining table is the tableware, an essential component to which we must pay special attention to find the right combination of colors matching the tablecloths and the chosen style. The right thing to do is put an underplate or charger under the main plate, and on top of it, the plate on which we will serve the starter. The placement of the cutlery is vital not to break the tone. Spoons and knives always on the right and forks on the left. The knives with the edge facing inwards.
The decoration can be decisive and make a difference, a centerpiece provides an original and attractive effect. Of course, keep in mind that they should never be tall objects that prevent guests from seeing each other or conversing. If you opt for candles or flowers, their smell should not be very intense. An elegant detail is a cloth napkin.
Finally, the most important thing to enjoy a spectacular table designed with effort and set with love, is the quality of the menu and the company.
