BRING BACK THE
TABLECLOTH
According to Hafsa, table linen and tablecloths are the real game changer that make any meal look fancier and create the perfect set-up but unfortunately are the unsung hero. They set the tone and mood for endless possibilities. A textured, solid colour cloth is a classic, like the one Hafsa has brilliantly utilized, but printed table cloths never fail to make a ravishing statement as well. For any table to look refined, the basics need to be set straight and a good table cloth never fails to make an impression.
Recreate your own dining table with our solid textured table cloth inspired by Ottoman patterns or experiment with prints with our phenomenal floral themed cloth. And remember this styling advice by Hafsa, that small tweaks to your otherwise usual dining room makes a big difference when it comes to throwing iftar parties.
ADD A POP
OF COLOUR
Colour always add impact, however splashing out too much colour is never a good option. You want your table to look appetizing but not very noisy. Take hosting cues from Hafsa, our tablescape magician and always opt for contrasting and blending colours that complement each other. Adding colours brings a certain earthiness to your table which makes it look aesthetically decorative.
Shop this entire look from our website and create your own avant-grand set up that is bound to leave your loved ones happily appalled. Our Ottoman table runner and placemats are a whimsical addition for your dining and a refreshing addition for your décor.
EXPERIMENT
WITH PRINTS
Introduce decadent prints and brighter hues to your table like our botanical printed and ottoman printed Panama napkins. Following in Hafsa’s footsteps, our décor philosophy is: that more the print the merrier it is. However, make sure to incorporate a neutral tone in either your use of cutlery or flamboyant centerpieces so a sense of calm remains and your table does not look like an altogether frenzy.
If you are on the lookout for some Ramadan inspired décor then our entire Ottoman collection is inspired from the traditional motifs and prints that are visually soothing.
LAYER UP OR CREATE A
VIGNETTE
Another styling tip is to go big and layer up your tablescape. Hafsa’s blue and white tablescape in punctuated with earthy and tonal elements like the sublime candle stands and even the cutlery. This ensures an evergreen balance between warm, bright and tonal colours. By adding different elements, you spark visual intrigue without upstaging the main course, which is most defiantly your iftar or even Eid dinners. There is always something beautiful about setting a table that makes even a causal gathering feel special.
BRING A
PERSONAL TOUCH
Never forget that at the end of the day, the table you are curating should make you happiest the most. We all know that planning and hosting occasions can be really stressful, but we recommend you to make the entire process fun. Shop from our budget friendly home linen options to zhoosh up your space beautifully as you want. From modern monograms, to tonal toned dining spaces, the possibilities are endless for you.
