An effortless table setting for family festivities
To make a get-together feel extra special, start by picking a colour scheme and let it guide you. It doesn’t have to be monochrome but don’t go too wild if you want to achieve this style: This table offers a pleasant combination of blues and beiges and other soft pastels. Mix and match different textures and patterns to create interest: Nothing is off limits if you enjoy the result. Does a dotted plate match a chequered tablecloth? If it looks great, it works!
Next, bring in the layers! By simply putting a smaller plate on a bigger one, or adding a bowl for salads or smaller dishes, you create a visual feast for the eye, long before food is served. What’s not to love about that?

Surprise someone special with a creative birthday party
When hosting a birthday party, you want to set a stunning table. Everything should work together to set the mood and make both the person at the centre of attention and all the guests feel special. This is how you do it without having to dig too deep into your wallet. There’s no need for fancy dinnerware; the surprise is in the details! This table setting has paper napkins folded into fun shapes and delicious fruit as decoration (they may or may not be part of the dessert). For a splash of colour without having to add a vase full of water, carelessly tuck in some lifelike artificial flowers. They remain fresh-looking even if the party goes on hours after it officially ended: And you can use them for next year’s birthday, too!
A NATTBAD Bluetooth speaker will blast your playlist with ease. Bright and cheerful, it may just be the star of the party and loud enough to get everyone singing along. Happy birthday!

A minimalistic table setting, with “hygge”
Put simply, the Danish expression “hygge” is about slowing down and stepping away from the busy pace of everyday life to enjoy calm, cosy moments. With that mindset, a brunch is more than a combination of breakfast and lunch – it’s an experience. You’ll want a delicious menu, great company, and plenty of time to chat over coffee and croissants (or whatever your favourite treats are) – all served up in a setting that feels as good as it looks.
To give your breakfast table a leisurely hotel lounge feel, go for graphic simplicity with some playful elements. This table setting features a mix of colourful plates, glasses, and bowls without any frills: The dinnerware IS the décor. A portable LED lamp in an eye-catching design adds ambient light and can easily be move around. The only thing you may risk with this inviting table setting is that your guests will want to stick around all day.

How you succeed with a candle-lit dinner party
When you throw a party, it’s all about making everyone feel relaxed and comfortable, whether you’re meeting new friends or catching up with old ones. To create a cosy and inviting atmosphere, there are three things to think about when setting up your table: textiles, colour, and light.
Choose textiles made from natural materials like cotton or jute. A tablecloth not only adds to the look but also protects your tabletop and helps keep things a bit quieter with plates and cutlery. Fabric napkins feel so much more festive than paper ones; it’s a simple way to create a charming table setting without breaking the bank! Next up: colours! Go for shades from a neutral palette, whether they’re light or dark: Think pale beige, deep green, and soft black. Last but not least: lighting! To your overhead lights: Ideally dimmable: You can add candles or maybe an LED light chain. The gentle glow will help you and your guests relax and cherish the time you get to spend together!
