Setting The Holiday Table

In preparation for Thanksgiving, we turned to the décor connoisseurs at Apartment Therapy to find out how to set a glamorously modern table. Here’s what they had to say:

Basic black and white can be dressed up beautifully for the holidays with the injection of a little modern metallic glitz. We’re going for gold accessories in this selection, but silver can work equally well. To keep things totally fresh and festive, incorporate some of today’s major interior trends: facets (the gold bowls and jewel-like plates), textures that evoke a handmade feel (cable knit-look runner) and a touch of natural beauty (the gorgeous gold glazed shell-like bowls). Either an all white or all black set of table linens will work well as a backdrop to these elements to keep the drama high and make for a tabletop design that your guests will not only enjoy and remember, but that you can use again and again throughout the year.

P.S. Did you hear about Marciano’s first-ever capsule collection? The iconic brand teamed up with Elin Kling to yield an unsurprisingly striking assortment of pieces that represent the Swedish blogger’s modernly minimalist aesthetic. Naturally, we rounded up our favorite looks.
