Dining Table Accessories

Dining table accessories set the scene and make hosting effortless. Start with linen or cotton runners to soften the surface and frame place settings; add chargers, placemats and coasters to protect and layer texture. A centrepiece—ceramic bowl, sculptural vase or a low cluster of candles—adds focus without blocking sightlines. Keep heights varied but conversation-friendly.

For serving, mix wood and stone boards, porcelain platters, and brass or matte steel candleholders for a balanced, collected feel. Trivets spare the tabletop, carafes and jugs keep the flow easy, and napkin rings give a quiet sense of occasion.

Choose a palette that echoes your furniture—warm timber with linen, cool ceramics with glass—and edit confidently: fewer, better pieces that look considered every day and dial up effortlessly when you’re hosting.
