4 Elements of a Great Tablescape

Creating a tablescape isn't about being "matchy-matchy" or stressing over having the finest linens and china. Instead, think outside the box and focus on these four elements to create a more meaningful experience that reflects your personality and interests. 1. Color -- Think napkins, flowers, candles, placemats and even the table itself. 2. Layers -- Start with a charger and work up to a dessert plate. 3. Texture -- Metallics, woods, shiny, rough, smooth, matte -- the sky's the limit! 4. Height -- Be aware of different heights and how well you'll see the person sitting across from you. Easy, right? We can all do this, and your friends and family will not only notice when you do, they will know you went out of your way to make them feel special and loved. This, of course, is so BoomerSmarts! ...
