By incorporating stylish tableware, tasteful linens, and carefully selected decor, your dining table can become the centrepiece of your dining area. A beautifully decorated table creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere and shows appreciation for your guests, making them feel special and valued. Additionally, an aesthetically pleasing dining table can elevate the overall dining experience by encouraging relaxation and enjoyment and enhancing the flavours and aromas of the food. Here are 6 essential dining table accessories one must invest in to enhance this spot's visual appeal to eat and bond over foods and drinks. 

Tablecloth

Table coverings, such as tablecloths, are a timeless choice for formal events and come in various colours and materials. Using a tablecloth at home can also add a touch of elegance and aura to your dining area, depending on your chosen style. If you prefer not to use a tablecloth, placing table mats at each setting can still protect your dining table from hot dishes and accidental spills. It keeps your table looking pristine and demonstrates attention to detail and consideration for your guests.

Table Runner

A table runner, a narrow strip of cloth, is an adaptable accessory for the dining table. It comes in 16-18 inches widths, making it suitable for use as a border or decorative element around a dining room. A table runner is most commonly laid along the middle of the table but can also be utilized in various other ways. A shorter table runner, for instance, can support a more substantial centrepiece. Choose a table runner that shares a dominant hue with the centrepiece's design or the tablecloth itself. Go for a transparent material to avoid distracting the runner from the attention drawn to the focal point.

Condiment Servers

Salt and pepper are kept in these little containers, laid at each place setting. Diners can adjust the flavour to their liking with these ingredients. The pepper mill should be on the left side of the salt shaker, and both should be placed in the centre of the dining table so that guests can assist themselves.

Chargers

"Charger" is a commonly used name for a "service plate". A charger is a protective covering for plates that keep the table surface safe from damage caused by food and water. At the outset of a meal, the charger (or serving dish) is set down and stays there for multiple courses. After the entree has been served, the charger is taken away, and the dinner plate is used. Never put dessert on the charger. Chargers can be used for various purposes, depending on the table arrangement and food served. Standard charger sizes range from 6 to 16 inches in circumference.

Utilizing coasters is an effective method to safeguard surfaces from unsightly stains and damage resulting from liquid spills. Coasters are available in various designs, colours, and materials, such as wood, marble, and resin. Adding coasters to your table setting can enhance its visual appeal without breaking the bank. If your primary goal is to protect your furniture, opt for coasters that have a flat surface or are padded with rubber. These features ensure that the coaster remains stable and prevents the drink from sliding off, preventing accidental spills.

Scratches and dents from regular use are unavoidable on glass, wood, and other surfaces. When you have guests over, such as for the holidays, it's more likely to happen. Table linens, such as tablecloths, placemats, runners, potholders, and coasters, can protect your wooden furniture from scratches and stains.
