Setting a Festive Table: Bright Glassware, Trendy Ceramics & Easy Summer Touches


Summer is fast approaching which means late afternoon sun and long lunches with friends and family. Whether you're hosting a casual Christmas lunch, a New Year's Eve dinner or simply making the most of a weekend, a memorable table is all about mixing colour, pattern and texture to make your guests feel immediately welcome. Here is how to put together a vibrant, easygoing table setting using some of our favourite pieces.

Set the tone with beautiful napkins

Summer tables love personality! Start your look by layering patterned paper napkins at each place setting. Vibrant prints bring immediate character to the space while keeping the overall feel relaxed and welcoming.

Add sparkle with glassware

Feature statement pieces like Klimchi hobnail glassware right at the centre of the table. Keeping chilled wine or sparkling water ready adds both practical ease and a gorgeous visual anchor to your spread.

Serve with character using Marimekko stoneware

Food is the hero of the day, so let the serveware carry some of the fun. Swap out plain platters for Marimekko's stoneware pieces that double as table art.

Create custom place settings with stationery

Who says paper goods belong only at your desk? Bringing fine stationery onto the dinner table is a clever way to add a personal touch. Use notecards to make custom place cards for your guests. Consider writing a message to each person, giving them a warm token to remember the evening by.
