An Edgy, Marble-Inspired Tabletop for Spring

Spring entertaining season is here and although soft color palettes usually come to mind when you think of designing a spring tabletop, I love the idea of mixing things up to create a look that feels unexpected. Right now I’m loving the look of marbleized accents for your tabletop. I styled this chic place setting for a photoshoot of one of my design projects and picked out a set of stunning marbleized plates as the focal point. To allow the intricate lines and graphic pattern of the plates to stand out, I kept everything else around them simple. The flatware and glassware feature clean-lines and for a pop of color I chose crisp napkins in a pale aqua linen that feels fresh for spring while also providing a playful contrast with the red dining chairs. I also incorporated tulips which are the quintessential spring flower but in a white fringed variety that adds softness, texture and interest without competing with the dinnerware. Finally, I paired the flowers with a monochromatic white vase in an interesting shape. The end result is a fresh, modern take on a spring tabletop that has a hint of edginess and is a welcome departure from the soft pastels we’re so used to seeing.
