This Month's Top Question

Q: I never feel confident mixing colours and patterns on my table. Where do I even start?

Start with one anchor colour, something you already love and build out from there with two supporting tones, one lighter and one deeper. Don't be afraid of contrast; a little tension between colours is what makes a table feel curated instead of matchy. And remember texture counts as much as colour: a nubby linen runner next to a smooth cotton napkin is doing just as much visual work as any print.
