The colour palette acts as an anchor for the mood board. For instance, if you choose beige for a neutral setup, look for cream-hued candles, white plates, and brown table mats. You can also shop for wooden serving trays to complete your aesthetic setup.

If you want something brighter, you can opt for feminine shades such as pink, maroon or red. To complement the shades of love, Amaara Home’s Rose Handpainted Butler Tray will act as the cherry on top.

2. Layer With Purpose

Explore artistic designs among rich table runners, placemats, and small and large plates to bring a charm to your table setup.
