Colour Styling - 5 Ways to Use Black on Your Tabletop!

1. Use shades of black, charcoal and grey to create a striking effect. Different textures and sets of dinnerware can create a dramatic juxtaposition while maintaining the dark colour scheme.

2. If you are into a monochromatic look, try layering dinnerware alternating between black and white pieces start with a black tablemat, layer with a large white plate, a black side plate, finishing with a white bowl and black napkin.

3. Add pops of colour among all black dinnerware with floral arrangements, napkins and servingware for a more casual feeling event.

4. Ensure that food stands out on black plates by creating a menu that features light, bright and white elements.

5. If all black seems to dark, use a large black dinner plate as a base plate under a smaller white dinner plate to create layers, interest and texture to your table.
