As the days grow longer and the flowers start to bloom, it’s natural to want to refresh your home decor to match the vibrancy of the new season. Spring is the perfect time to update and refresh your dining table and enhance the amount of colour in your space. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or simply enjoying a family meal, your dining table should reflect the blossoming energy of spring.

We’ve curated three exciting decor ideas to brighten up your spring tableware.

Perfect-in-pink table decor

In the year of the Barbie movie, the all-pink aesthetic is all-powerful. The playful demeanour of the sorbet shade is reminiscent of spring blossoms and sun-kissed skin with a nod to childhood nostalgia. Think maximalism and try colour-drenching your dining table in various blush hues. For example, add a hot-pink tablecloth beneath a peach candelabra. Fancy an Aperol spritz in a pink-hued glass? Margot Robbie would approve.

Checkered patterns

The arrival of spring makes us think of floral dresses, gingham picnic blankets and organic textures as we venture outdoors to defrost after months of cosying up inside. Anything goes this season, as layering textures and patterns add a certain flair of individuality to your space. Checked tablecloths, striped tableware and spotted glasses create a perfect dinner party setting and generate exciting conversation. Don’t be afraid to mix and match patterns and materials to create an eclectic dining table.

Nature-inspired tableware

For those missing the unbridled joy of the outdoors while rooted in their homes, some nature-inspired decor may fill the gap. The soothing effects of nature are well known, and the biophilic trend isn’t showing any signs of slowing down. Rather, what commenced as a flick of calming green paint and a multitude of indoor plants has evolved into the replication of nature in the smallest home details. From mushroom-shaped salt and pepper shakers to a hand-blown palmed platter, contemporary tableware evokes fairytale flamboyance.
