Quick Tips: Tropical Dining

The dining table is one of the most versatile parts of our home. It is a blank canvas for any tablescape, for any occasion. As we go through the warmer days to the monsoon season, our table should always be a space for good vibes and good company whatever the weather is. So here's a simple guide on how to take your dining experience to the tropics and its contrasting moods. An instant refresh for summer and beyond.

1.

Make your own bouquet. For your dining table, go for fresh flowers. This will set the overall mood and will give your table a pleasant ambiance regardless of the season. Perfect for hosting family lunch or dinner with friends.

2.

Set the table with matching dinnerware adorned with sweet florals and vibrant foliage. A look that will take your table from spring to monsoon months, from everyday dining to special occasions.

3.

Finish off with a set of smooth and lustrous flatware. Mirror-finish cutleries will make your table shine even on the most overcast day. Moreover, they accentuate dainty dinnerware beautifully. Great for achieving a well-coordinated look without the effort.
