Blue and white tableware remains a classic choice, with this season’s dinnerware taking inspiration from the Mediterranean. It’s a relaxed look, in which pieces can be mixed and matched, and it is perfect for entertaining outdoors.
Key pieces: Set the table with handcrafted crockery in shades of blue, which feature geometric patterns. Layer items on top of each other and use a runner than a full tablecloth to prevent the table from looking too busy. Blue-hued tumblers, chunky wine glasses and silver cutlery suit the informal mood.
Decorative details: If outside, add lanterns or large pillar candles. For flowers, jugs or blue glass bottles of herbs or greenery won’t distract from the decorative tableware.
Entertaining idea: Keep to the Mediterranean theme with a long lunch of sharing platters of grilled vegetables, kebabs, dips and breads. Fill pitchers with water, lemon slices and mint and place on the table.
