With all the refurbishment, we’ve not had anyone around for a while, so haven’t really taken a good look at our crockery – some of it I had had since uni! So I’ve been looking at having a little overhaul and found some great pieces that are more affordable than you think.

Table runner: £7.99, H&M. ‘Love’ print: £15, Big Jon |
These table runners were leftover from our wedding and have become so useful, less stuffy than a table cloth and help with the layering on the table. I’m a fan of ‘clutter’ on tables, so Ikea tealights (in copper jars from Anthropologie), flowers in mini kilner bottles and succulents all help create some ambience. Greys and greens go so well together and the Banana Leaf coasters are a cute addition.

I had been looking at copper cutlery for a while and had finally decided that the Habitat set at £80 were the most affordable I would find. But I had forgotten about Next homewares, and spied these at the Press day – £32 for a 16 piece set – meaning I could afford to invest in the copper trend on a bit more of a whim. I’m probably still going to do that ridiculous thing my mum does when she saves certain cutlery sets for ‘best’ but I can’t wait to have some people round for our next dinner party.
Hi
Where are the leaf and beetle plates from, please? Love them.
Thanks
Alex
They're little cardboard coasters from H&M, £1.99 for a pack…they haven't got online but I bought instore only last week x
And where is the marble plate that the candles and flower vases from please? Tis fab x
That's H&M Home, as well! It's old though, so not sure they sell it anymore x
Gorgeous! A lot of tablescaping is placing rather than how expensive the stuff on it is. If it's well put together, it'll look nice and fancy.
Love the term 'tablescaping'….!
Alex, wow, i love all of it! Off to look at links 🙂 Xx
I like those marble effect dinnerware
Do you have any recommendations for where to get a dining table pls in the UK?
Depends what you are after! I got mine from Quirky Interiors – zinc topped x
