PLACEMATS, TABLE RUNNERS OR TABLE CLOTH…..LET’S FANTASY PLAY!!
02/07/2014
The most
important thing when you furnish your house is the furniture you choose. Even
more important are, on the other hand, furnishing complements as they decorate
your house, personalizing it and making it stylish. Placemats, table runners
and table cloths can be used in lunches or dinners in our houses but also as ornaments showing all their
decorative power.
PLACEMAT
are perfect when we want to have a simple moment of refreshment, such as
breakfast or our babies’ snack or also for a tea break. They are very useful
and cute if we organize an informal lunch with some friends. The result is a
very accurate and modern style in a friendly informal way.
TABLE
RUNNERS are canvas’ narrow long stripes used as decorative elements on tables. They have an ornamental function
more than a functional one because they are used to create a very surprising
and elegant effect on our tables, for example a romantic one! They are also
used as an elegant table ornament together with flowers or refined centerpieces.
Both the
placemats and the table runners are chosen in chromatic contrasting variants
depending on the table where they are: this will be useful because this choice
will underline the contrast thus creating a wonderful chromatic effect. So, if
we have tables in light colors we’ d better opt for some strong colors while for dark bases some white or neutral
elements well be perfect.
Flowers,
butterflies, geometrical shapes give a fresh touch and a cheerful atmosphere to
our tables.
LINK and
TYPE fabrics from MAGAZINE Collection are examples of what we have just said. Notice the foulard
model full of water colored flowers or printed damask ones.
Moreover,
more table runners in different colors can be put together as to form an
original and lively single canvas!
TABLE
CLOTHS are a “must have” if we want to organize a lunch or a dinner with a lot of people. We will surely opt for them in a more formal situation. We can choose the shade
depending on the situation and occasion and in contrast with our kitchens’
tools.
We can
indulge ourselves in choosing different neutral colors or choosing creative
shades or, as to surprise your guests, wonderful centerpieces with elegant
flower arrangements. In order to obtain a wonderful elegant effect the best
fabrics’ quality is to be privileged. Beautiful and simple fabrics at the same
time.
Cotton or
linen with a “rough” surface are perfect for a country style but also for a
contemporary and minimal style if the plates are white and very linear. For
example CORINTO fabric by PURITY Collection recreates soils’ natural colors. Shiny
and sheer fabrics are very suitable for elegant and refined tables, both
classical and modern. So, let’s leave room for damask linen, linen, organza,
muslin, cotton sateen respectively in their smooth, embroidered and embellished
variants obviously well combined with services colors and style.
Finally,
for an amazing mise en place we have
to take into account this expedient: adding a long refined table cover with a
double function: for an esthetic improvement, cover entirely table legs making the setting and the atmosphere extremely
elegant and fashionable.
