As the days grow warmer and the garden calls, there's nothing lovelier than hosting friends and family around a beautifully styled outdoor table. Whether you're planning a relaxed weekend BBQ, an alfresco brunch, or simply a peaceful cup of tea in the sun, the right table setting can make your space feel extra special. Here's how to create an effortless yet elegant summer setup — starting with the tablecloth.
🌿 1. Start with a Statement Outdoor Tablecloth
Your tablecloth sets the tone for the entire setup. Our range of waterproof outdoor tablecloths with parasol holes are not only practical (wipe-clean and weather-friendly!) but beautifully designed to elevate any garden table. For a calming look, try Lavender Fields; for a burst of sunshine, Amalfi Lemon is always a favourite.
Tip: Make sure your tablecloth includes a central parasol hole to keep guests shaded and stylish all afternoon.
🌸 2. Add Fresh Flowers or Greenery
You don’t need to overthink it — a jam jar of wildflowers, a terracotta pot of herbs, or a few sprigs of eucalyptus add instant charm. Match florals to your cloth: pair Wildflower Meadow with loose blooms, or Sage & Stem with soft greenery for a fresh, natural feel.
🕯️ 3. Layer on Texture
Use accessories like:
Rattan napkin rings
Linen napkins in neutral tones
Candle lanterns or glass tea lights. These bring in texture and depth, making even the simplest table feel styled.
🍋 4. Keep It Seasonal and Simple
Think about your food and drink setup too — bowls of lemons, pitchers of elderflower cordial, or rustic breadboards not only taste good but look beautiful. Choose pieces that complement your colour scheme without being fussy.
☀️ 5. Create Shade and Comfort
If you're lucky enough to have sunshine, a parasol is a must. That’s where our tablecloths with central parasol holes shine — no awkward folds or bunching, just a smooth, tailored look with perfect shade all day long.
