The peak of summer is here. It means, it’s time to binge-eat mangoes and pull out all the linens, florals from the closet. Just like you change your personal style as per the season, you must change the dining table setting and style as per the season. It’s these little things that make all the difference. This hot and humid season calls for a more casual table styling. But what do we mean exactly? Let’s find out. In today’s blog, we’ll shed some sunshine on trendy summer table styling ideas and tips:

1. Add some flowers:

Floral comes first. Your dining area is incomplete without some pretty flowers during the summer. Add a dash of colour, aroma, and vibe to the dining area by simply getting your favourite flowers. If you want a little luxurious feel, invest in a quality glass vase and see how it changes your table style. A good glass vase would work as a standalone styling prop for the dining table. If you are a true sucker for florals, you could opt for a blue floral glass vase like the Dartington Crystal Marguerite Square Flower Vase, brought to you by thinKitchen.

2. Linen table runner:

Just like you prefer linens in the summer season, your table too would look prettier with linen table runners. Linen always feels more homely and welcoming. So if you are hosting a summer brunch at home, this table setting would be just perfect. If your dinner plate setting is simple and basic, you could even opt for a printed linen table runner. It would add some character to the dining table.

3. Printed dinner plates and bowls:

Adding printed dinner plates and bowls to your table setting can instantly elevate your summer dining experience. The vibrant colours and playful patterns can bring a fun and festive vibe to any meal, whether it's a casual get-together or a formal dinner party. Plus, printed dinnerware is a great way to incorporate seasonal themes into your table setting, from floral patterns to beachy motifs. With so many options available, you can easily mix and match different prints to create a unique and personalized table setting. You can get some adorable printed plates and bowls at thinKitchen. Our recommendation would be the Burleigh Blue Calico Plate and bowl set along with the Denby Studio Blue Chalk Couple Dinner plate to create the perfect summer dinner plate setting. 

4. Pastel cutlery and crockery:

The soft hues of pastel colours such as mint, lavender, and baby blue create a refreshing and calming atmosphere which is perfect for warm weather. Pastel cutlery and crockery also add a touch of elegance and sophistication to your table setting, making it perfect for special occasions such as summer parties or romantic dinner dates. Additionally, the light colours of pastel cutlery and crockery can complement any summer-themed decor or floral arrangements, making your table setting look even more beautiful and cohesive. To spruce things up, you could mix pastel cutlery and crockery with an elegant gold cutlery set. It will create the right contemporary table setting for summer. 

5. Cute dessert bowls:

Summer is all about fruits and desserts. And when it comes to dinner table setting, just bowls, and plates aren’t enough. You have to choose suitable dessert bowls too. After all, any meal is incomplete without a good dessert. With proper dessert bowls, you will be able to create a burst of excitement at the dining table. Whether it's a fruity sorbet or an indulgent chocolate mousse, the presentation of a dessert can make all the difference, and a big part of the presentation is choosing stylish dessert bowls. You can browse through a range of dessert bowls at thinKitchen and pick the one that’s most appealing to you. Along with dessert bowls, you can also look at popsicle makes. It’s a quirky addition which will instantly lighten up the mood at the dinner table and of course, cool down the heat

6. Wine glasses:

It’s always wine-o-clock in the summer season. And that’s why, your table setting is incomplete without pretty wine glasses. The wine glasses you pick would depend on the type of wine you and your guests prefer. For those who enjoy red wine, you could go for a broader base of red wine glasses.
