Home visit: a striking monochrome table setting
Try this coordinated table-setting idea for a special occasion or to elevate an everyday meal.
Sometimes it’s fun to create a dinner table that makes an impression. Start by layering each place setting with monochrome crockery, then choose an accent colour for the little extras like napkins – natural greens work well with black and white. Use big bowls of stove-to-table food for a relaxed, help-yourself feel, and try recycling an old shelf to use as a stand down the centre of the table. Finish with pots of fresh herbs for sprinkling, and put oils and dressings in glass decanters.
What’s on the table:
Sofie’s monochrome table matches the rest of her house – she uses greenery as a natural accent throughout her black-and-white home. Three colours maximum is a good rule to follow, especially for a busy table setting. ‘We love having friends over for dinner, and creating a colour-coordinated table setting instantly makes it feel like a special occasion,’ says Sofie.
