Winter to Spring: A Modern Rustic Tablescape in Cool Blues and Earthy Greens

Winter’s crisp air is being replaced by the first hints of spring. The dining table, often the heart of gathering, is our favourite place to embrace this seasonal shift. In this blog post, we will help you put together a winter-to-spring tablescape that balances cool blues with refreshing greens. We aim to bring in the subtle vibrancy of spring while still appreciating the last few days of winter.

With a mix of rattan textures, deep blue napkins, silver accents, and soft candlelight, this look is rustic yet refined. Ideal for hosting intimate dinners or simply refreshing your home 🤎

Natural Rattan Placemats

A well-dressed table always starts with layers. When transitioning into spring, we love beginning with placemats made from natural materials. Our Hera Rattan Placemats can create the perfect textured base. Their woven design adds an organic feeling to the table setting, which complements the natural transition from winter to spring.

A Cool and Calming Touch

Blue is a versatile colour. We say so because it can feel both wintery and fresh, depending on how you style it. Our Ave Blue Cotton Napkins bring a soft, effortless elegance to the table. The Moss Brass Napkin Rings add a grounding and earthy contrast while enhancing the layered look of the setting.

You can casually tie your napkins for a relaxed feel. Or you can neatly fold them for a more polished touch. Either way, the combination of blue and brass will create an elegant transition between seasons.

Shimmering Details

Next up, we will complement the rattan and blue tones with a modern touch of elegance. Case in point: Silver cutlery. Our Milan and Monaco Silver Stainless Steel Cutlery Sets have a sleek and timeless finish that adds just the right amount of shine without overpowering the natural elements of the table.

The contrast between warm textures and cool metallics makes this tablescape feel sophisticated and inviting at the same time.

Finishing Touches

Candlelight helps add warmth as we try to transition from winter’s cosy nights to spring’s fresh energy. A mix of white and deep green taper candles adds an organic and understated charm. Pinecones and wheat accents keep the rustic aesthetic intact.

Our rustic gold candleholders make for a beautiful transition between the two seasons.
