Powerscourt have you covered for your tablescaping and entertaining at home this summer.
We don’t know about you, but this period of self-isolation is giving us a good chance to experiment with more decadent table settings and an incentive to celebrate the every day, and we are starting right at the very top! The tablecloth will set the tone for the whole table. Try a bold pattern, intricate embroidery and even play around with textures. We love to pair the tablecloth with washed-linen napkins, drawing from a colour found in the cloth, tied with ribbon, or embellished with foliage or florals.
