Whether you're hosting a formal holiday dinner for the family or having a casual wine and cheese night for friends at your apartment, creating an inviting space is simple with table linens. Crisp, timeless tablecloths effortlessly dress up your dining area and make your table a showcase for your finest dinnerware. For a clean background that lets you display your best dishes, opt for a plain tablecloth topped with a runner and placemats in neutral shades. If you want to make a bold statement for a special meal, impress guests with beautifully patterned linens and brightly hued placemats. Consider how the style, color and fabric work with your flatware, serving dishes, glasses and dishware before you set to work arranging everything. When it comes to accessorizing, napkins with vibrant prints add a dash of color and texture to pull the whole table's look together. Napkin rings provide that extra finishing touch that can take your table from sophisticated to spectacular. Select from refined silver-tone bands, crystal-encrusted styles or napkin rings in floral and animal shapes to lend interest to each place setting.
