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!

The bouclé sofa isn’t a trend, it’s a commitment. The bouclé sofa isn’t a trend, it’s a commitment. Soft, sculptural, and impossible to walk past without wanting to sit down. The rooms that get it right pair it with something unexpected: a dramatic mural, an antique screen, a city skyline, a hand-laid mosaic floor.
Which bouclé sofa room would you want to sink into? Drop your answer 👇

A well-designed bunk room isn’t just for kids. It’s about making every guest feel like they got the best bed in the house. Built-in storage, thoughtful lighting, and bedding that actually makes you want to climb up top.
Save this for your next build or renovation inspo and follow for more. 🖤

Designer Ashley Montgomery layered reclaimed wood beams, brass hardware, and deep walnut millwork against soft plaster walls, and somehow every single room still feels calm. The olive built-ins in the living room, the arched oak doors, that brass shower enclosure in the primary bath... this is what happens when someone actually commits to a palette.

How much summer can you fit into a few days? ☀️⛵️How much summer can you fit into a few days? ☀️⛵️
I flew from Los Angeles to Nantucket for a very quick trip and I’m planning to find out.
Beautiful beaches, boats, gorgeous interiors, time with friends and one last little dose of August.
Turns out you don’t always need a whole week to feel like you got away. 🤍
So happy to be visiting bestie @francesgfayard and her husband Calvin and my godson Carter for a little last minute end of summer travel. New England at its best. Day 1 was a beautiful day. 🤩
You are not going to feel motivated every day. AndYou are not going to feel motivated every day. And you don’t have to.
Some days you’ll feel inspired and everything seems to click. Other days, you’ll question what you’re doing and wonder if any of it is actually working.
The important thing is not to mistake a slow day for a step backward.
You can keep going even when the motivation isn’t there. Some days, showing up is the progress.
Save this for the days when you need the reminder. 🤍
