Whether it's a date night with your loved one or a major holiday event, upgrading your dining room table is a simple way to set a tone for the meal. Best of all, it doesn’t have to cost much at all! Here are four simple ways to take your table from blah to beautiful:
Snag a neutral tablecloth
Starting with a clean, neutral palette will allow your vintage accessories to shine. There are many options for all types of styles, such as a simple cotton, lace or even crocheted. It’s easy to find cost-effective table cloths at your local vintage or thrift store or, check out this stunning option for less than $15 by a fellow Etsy shop owner TheInJoyBoutique!
Add color with vintage cloth napkins
Here’s where things get fun! You can score vintage napkins at nearly any vintage store - or you can make your own out of stunning fabric from your local thrift store. The important thing to remember is that napkins are beautiful and functional items on your table. I love this set of vintage linen napkins by RetroVega for just $12!
Add brass napkin rings
Try wrapping your silverware in your vintage napkin or place it on the plate with a unique fold. I’m partial to brass napkin rings that add valuable texture to the soft linen. You can check out this beautiful set of 6 mid-century brass anchor napkin rings for just $39.99 in my very own Etsy store!
Add a decanter set
Lastly, choose a clear decanter for a classic look or add style with a fancy decanter. You can’t go wrong when it comes to giving your guests easy access to their next beverage. I can’t stop gazing at this lovely and highly collectible vintage culver VALENCIA set. This gorgeous Vintage Culver decanter set is surrounded by 22 kt gold, making it perfect to spice up just about any table for any occasion!
