"Be able to set a table so that you feel like you're dining, not just sitting and eating"
Why are fine table linens important?
Table setting is an ancient art form. The earliest documentation of the practice is recorded in the Old Testament and in the writings of the Ancient Greeks.
Today, the ritual of table setting is an important way to signal care and hospitality to your guests. Exceptional touches like a high-end tablecloth work to enhance the social experience of eating. A beautifully set table can even affect how well we digest our food.
Fine table linens are the first step to curating a dining table with a positive effect. Whether you are decorating for a dinner party or a cocktail reception, a beautifully upholstered dining room always stands out.
Gorgeous table covers, luxury table runners, and fine linen napkins elevate even the simplest meal. Not to mention, a fine tablecloth can protect your dining or cocktail table from spills. Furthermore, luxury table linens are a design choice that can be switched out seasonally (or even weekly!) with very little effort.
This autumn, luxury table linens brands are coming forward with a variety of bright patterns and colors to usher in the season with style. Beyond the traditional charcoal and sand tablecloths of past years, Fall/Winter 2022-2023 tablescapes are anything but dull. Top colorful linen brands like Le Jacquard Francais allow you to curate a table that is both elegant and fun.
