Sharing a meal with family or friends is one of life's great pleasures, and a thoughtfully decorated table will heighten your guests' sense of occasion. However, modern entertaining doesn't require you to polish the silver spoons, starch the napkins or roll out the red carpet. In Table Style, Liz Belton and Rebecca Tanqueray will inspire you to rummage through your cupboards and creatively combine vintage pieces with high street finds to create an achievable, stylish and inviting table. The first section looks at the essential elements: cutlery, china, napkins, namecards, flowers and candles. The second section has suggestions for a variety of different occasions, ranging from an impromtu weekday supper with friends to the classic celebratory dinner. And the final section contains a useful visual dictionary of international place settings.
