    Create a Nordic-themed tablescape by keeping things clean and simple. Sunday Suppers used white linens, minimalist ceramics and glassware from the VIPP line. "A combination of simple greens and white flowers were used in both small bud vases on the table and in large arrangements throughout the loft, created by Anna of Fox Fodder Farms."

Make your own statement table runner with a long roll of kraft paper. Use the eraser tip of pencil dipped in white paint to create a polka dot pattern. Cut an inverted 'V' at both ends for the finishing touch. Take inspiration with this table setting from a Kinfolk dinner, via Local Milk Blog.

    5. Stylist Steve Cordony created a simple table top for Country Road with pared-back details. His tip for a beautiful and functional table setting? "Asymmetry can be more exciting that having everything in order. Placing items like flowers at the end of the table (as we have done above) or off-centre can add interest and excitement to the table and also avoids blocking the view of guests. As a general rule, centerpieces should be around 25-30cm high."

    7. Spray fallen branches with gold paint and hang them above your dinner table for a modern rustic look. In this table setting, Sunday Suppers kept the decoration simple and raw, with white cheesecloth and muslin napkins and "an abundance of white candles perched in copper caps."

Dot a rustic timber table top with white pillar candles, plain white dinnerware, and trails of delicate greenery for a fresh but simple look. 10.
