5 tips for a surprising and unique table decoration

A table can be more than a place to eat at. With the right table decoration you will create a unique experience that will stay with your guests and invite them to come back more often. Whether you want to exude a calm, timeless atmosphere or opt for eye-catching accents: table decoration is the chance to really set your business apart. Stylepoint and Wegter, two of our renowned suppliers, share their tips for an unforgettable dining experience.

According to Chris Waalder, key account manager at Stylepoint, tableware is a calling card. "It is often the first thing guests notice. An attractively set table immediately sets the tone for the evening." With a unique and Instagram-worthy table, you will not only impress your guests, but also increase your visibility online.

Nick Pikkemaat of Wegter adds: "It should not only be beautiful, but also practical and durable. Dinnerware that breaks easily or is difficult to stack creates more frustration than atmosphere."

A timeless base allows you to play with details. Marre Stolk, content marketer at Wegter, stresses the importance of simplicity. "With subtle elements, such as a logo on the tableware or a fine fillet edge, give your table setting a personal touch. White tableware with natural shapes is popular, and accessories in gold tones provide a stylish look."

Stylepoint also recommends strong basics, but with a twist. "Think glass plates or cutlery with a unique detail. This is how you make your table tastefully eye-catching," says Waalder.

Atmospheric lighting can complete a table. Thus, LED lighting is not only durable, but also safe and versatile. "With small light accents, you instantly create a warm ambiance," says Waalder. Stolk also advises adding height differences, e.g. with glasses or candles. "But don't overdo it; too big decorations can be distracting."

To stay distinctive, the experts recommend completely restyling table decorations once every five years. "Or work with seasonal details," says Stolk. "A small change in colour or accessories can have a big impact on the atmosphere."
