Copy of What does the (in) perfect table look like?
Good food tastes best on a properly decorated table. But how do you get the best, easiest and fastest way? We asked Interiorexpertin Janina Krinket.
What does the perfect table look like?
Perfect Good if you have a nice motto around which you can build around, that can be travel, for example. I often bring plates and accessories from vacation, I mix and matche like. It always looks great when you combine different colors and patterns.
Do you still need a tablecloth in 2016?
Yes. I am a total table-linen fan. For example, I like linen as a material in muted colors. Of course it is also possible without, but this haptic of the ceiling enhances a table and makes it more comfortable. Just like candles. They belong to a perfect table for me. Whether candlesticks, lanterns, tealights or trusses? something has to burn on the table. This is important for me.
Is there a special trick that makes a table more beautiful?
Just throw a lot of small glasses together, place different flowers in them and distribute them on the table. That looks totally nice automatically. Succulents always go or put small cacti in the pot on the table. If you do not like the pot, you can just beat a bit of tissue paper around it.
What about paper. Does it have to be napkins made of cloth?
No. There are really nice paper napkins. And if you still have a pack of Ikea napkins at home, you can simply stamp them. With names or symbols. Otherwise you can just take beautiful towels, that often looks really good. It does not always have to be perfect, often the imperfect is just charming. For example, you can simply put cutlery in a glass or cup and put it on the table.
What can not be on a really nice table?
Plastic water bottles. It breaks everything. It looks the same when the wine and water are in a pitcher or carafe on the table. It does not have to be an expensive decanter, a simple carafe and a rustic jug are always on the menu.
What is more important? The food or the table decoration?
Since you ask the right one! Actually, of course, the food should be in the foreground. But if you've made a really great meal and it's served on a loveless table, it's no fun. I would also eat Miracoli on a nicely laid table. I do not need a star kitchen. I can not cook very well, but then there are delicious sandwiches with me, but everything looks nice.
