From casual catch ups to end-of-year entertaining obligations, whatever your reason for hosting at home we’ve got your summer sorted with holiday tablescape inspiration that’ll take you from humble host to party-starter extraordinaire.
When it comes to entertaining, it’s likely your hosting style will sit within one of two camps; The first being the hostess whose idea of a good time is collating themed holiday tablescape inspiration boards, grouped by aesthetic, mood, season and style – naturally. The type to spend weeks meticulously curating the perfect playlist or gleefully selecting the best glassware for their signature cocktail, or whose love language is crafting feast-worthy tables to wow their guests.
Or, there’s the spontaneous wildcard whose entertaining style skews more chaotic than curated, who wouldn’t bat an eye at an unannounced guest, and whose idea of a tablescaping is a mishmash of characterful crockery and collected curios, and is all the better for it.
A go-with-the-flow, kick-up-your-heels kind of entertainer – where as long as the conversation is flowing as freely as the Champagne – then you’ve had yourself a successful soirée.
Whether you’re a Type A auteur of the holiday tablescape or you’re just here for the festive vibes, these mood-setting entertaining essentials are guaranteed to get the party started.
