Guide to decorate the perfect Easter table with Sambonet

Do you have guests for Easter lunch and want to surprise them, but don't know where to start? From the table, of course! It's not enough to prepare tasty and well-presented dishes: the Easter table must also be set correctly and imaginatively. Be inspired by the colours and mood of spring and take Sambonet's infallible advice on how to decorate and set the Easter table: your guests will absolutely be delighted.

1. Selecting the ideal table dressing for Easter: from tablecloths to napkins

Start by choosing a linen or cotton tablecloth in pastel tones or spring patterns. For a more modern and minimalist touch, opt for runners and placemats in natural fabrics such as linen or raffia, which add a sense of freshness and lightness to your table, along with shabby chic or designer napkin holders. These elements serve as a background canvas for your composition, defining the dominant style and colours.

2. Curating the perfect tableware ensemble: from dinneware to glassware

The choice of plates, cutlery and glasses is crucial in defining the style of your table. Porcelain dinner with gold borders or floral motifs adds a touch of elegance. Match them with vintage finish flatware. Curating the perfect tableware ensemble: from dinneware to glassware or a silverplated set for a fancy effect. For glasses, crystal is always a winning choice, while wine glasses and water glasses in colours coordinated with the table can introduce an element of surprise, as well as wine accessories.

3. Style details and ideas: centrepieces and Easter decorations

Don't underestimate the importance of small details: egg cups for each guest and showplates made of stainless steel or natural fibers such as wood or raffia can completely transform the look of your table. Cloth napkins, perhaps tied with a ribbon or raffia thread, add a touch of care and attention for your guests. A designer centrepiece can always give grandeur to the table. Add olive branches or small decorative trees to recall the symbols of peace and rebirth. Decorated hard-boiled eggs, bunnies, chicks and other thematic decorations can be placed around the table,or used as original place cards.
