Tables

The Basic: 12 Last-Minute Summer Table Setting Accessories

July 26, 2022
  • Share

With high summer comes warm weather, outdoor living, and fun gatherings with friends and family (high summer means the middle of summer). Sometimes those gatherings can be sprung on you last minute. Friends come over and the next thing you know is that you’re serving drinks and ordering food from your favorite local spot. Yes…this might have happened to me on a few occasions. So in case, you’re put in a similar situation this summer… I’m sharing some of my go-to tips. Here are my favorite last-minute summer table accessories that you need in your home. And even some that I have in my shopping cart!

My table setting details.

Every table setting needs a neutral plate. The classic plain white dish will never go out of style. You can dress up the table with pattern napkins. The black and white checkered napkins are my go-to.  I always keep it simple. Less is more when it comes to a table.

My centerpieces.

Maybe you already have all of the table-setting staples, but you feel like it’s missing something? Flowers are always an easy way to enhance a table. You can add pops of color with a fresh arrangement or go for a minimally chic aesthetic with some greenery. An easy trick to always having the perfect centerpieces is buying faux botanicals and house plants. You can easily store them in a container and pull them out when you need them.

Good company will always take a good social gathering to a great social gathering. Don’t stress yourself over having the “perfect” table setting. You set the tone for the party. So enjoy it!

Summer is one of my favorite seasons. Do I say that about every season? The energy during the summertime just feels different. Everyone is happier and more carefree. Maybe, it’s because the weather is nicer and more people are traveling! A change of scenery is always a great way to refresh. Take a walk outside or go on a casual summer picnic.  Also, summer dresses and sandals are a cute perk too! I hope this blog was helpful for your next last-minute dinner party!

Ever wondered what it feels like to have the Eiffe Ever wondered what it feels like to have the Eiffel Tower as your view? These 7 Paris spaces answer that — some hotel suites, some private residences, and each one framing it completely differently. 🫶
A gilded suite where it peers through silk drapes. A terrace set for breakfast with the Tower straight ahead. Contemporary apartments where open French doors bring it almost into the room. Classic Haussmannian grandeur on one end, sculptural modern interiors on the other; same iconic backdrop, seven entirely different ways to live with it.
→ Save this for your next Paris trip or renovation inspo.

This Haussmannian apartment sits directly facing N This Haussmannian apartment sits directly facing Notre-Dame on the Left Bank, and @double_g_interior_design designed the interior to match that setting without competing with it. ✨
The approach was deliberate restraint: restored cornices kept intact, stained oak floors, limestone tones, a mix of vintage furniture and contemporary silhouettes. Every choice earning its place. The light does the rest. Bouncing off mirrors, moving through the neutral walls across the day. 🔅
→ Save this if you’re working with a Haussmannian space and want to let the architecture lead.

This six-floor Paris mansion sat untouched for ove This six-floor Paris mansion sat untouched for over 15 years. @hugotoro_ took it on and designed every single thing inside it himself, from the custom furniture down to the napkin rings and staff uniforms.
That level of control is what makes the result so specific. Rich materials, sculptural forms, cinematic lighting but nothing feels decorative for its own sake. Every detail was considered as part of one complete vision, and you feel it in every room. ✨

Natural light is the one thing every room has in c Natural light is the one thing every room has in common here, but the window shape, wall material, and time of day make each one feel like an entirely different experience. ☀️
It’s a reminder that light isn’t just a condition in a room. It’s a design decision.
→ Save this if you’re thinking about how light works in your own space.

Every bag she makes is intentional, considered, and honestly unliIke anything I’ve seen. The kind of craftsmanship you don’t stumble upon easily.
She’s still under the radar. For now. 😌
