The art of dessing the table
Designer, painter and tableware designer Andrea Zarraluqui shares her top tips for setting the table with attention to detail and surprising your guests.

Dressing of the table
Steps
Choose the type of table linen. In this case, you could choose not to use a tablecloth, which allows the surface beneath the tableware to be seen.
Choose the plates to suit the style of the table. Make sure they blend in with the surface on which they will be placed.
Place placemats under the plates. Choose natural fibres if you want to add warmth to the table setting.
Accompany with a bread plate that matches the tableware.
Incorporating a napkin made from a natural material into the table setting is always a good idea.
Place glassware at the edge of the placemat. Choose clear glass tumblers to bring light to the table.
Place the cutlery at the sides of the placemat. In this case, using materials such as bamboo for this element is a good option.
Finish with a floral detail; it will add a touch of life and colour to the table.
