The Elements Of A Perfect Tablescape

Tablescaping is the art of creating a beautiful and cohesive arrangement of items on a table. Whether it's for a special event, like Easter, or simply a way to add a touch of elegance to your everyday meals, tablescaping is becoming increasingly popular as people are starting to see the benefits of this creative practice.

At Boxwood, we love to create little vignettes around our shop, using our favorite placemats, glasses, and table lights to give our customers a look into how different products can talk to each other on the table. We pull colors and themes from our table linens to compliment our candlesticks or bring in an arrangement of flowers to create a centerpiece for our other items like name plates, vases, and trinkets to create a beautiful setting. One of my favorite elements to bring into a tablescape are our cordless lamps! These can light up the table and reflect the light through your glassware (the more colorful the better) and create ambiance by removing the need for overhead lighting.

So, why does tablescaping matter? Well, there are a few reasons. Firstly, it sets the tone for any occasion. A well-designed tablescape can instantly elevate the atmosphere of any event or party. Whether it's a formal dinner party or a casual family gathering, a thoughtfully crafted tablescape can create a sense of warmth and intimacy that helps to bring people together. When you put effort into creating a beautiful tablescape, it demonstrates that you care about the people you are hosting. It also shows that you have taken the time to consider every aspect of the event, from the menu to the decor.

By using a mix of different elements, such as flowers, candles, colorful placemats, and decorative objects, you can create a one-of-a-kind tablescape that reflects your personal style.
