Lemons are a simple and popular choice for many tablescapes. Arrange them down the table with their leaves and a few aromatic candles to create a rustic, Italian-inspired look.

If you’re new to tablescape arrangements, sticking with one colour palette is an easy way to impress. This soft lilac palette, with a lush tablecloth, blush pink napkins and delicate flowers is the ultimate dreamy summer tablescape.

With stonefruits aplenty, peach tones are great for dressing up your tables – add fresh fruit like plums, nectarines and peaches for the extra finishing touch.

If time isn’t on your side, try a simple bouquet at the centre of the table, with flowers on each plate. Floral tableware and placemats are also great choices for adding a pop of colour in a simpler arrangement.

Gold and blue is another wonderful palette to embrace in summer. A simple cerulean or teal table runner paired with gold cutlery and candlesticks creates the perfect picture of laid-back luxury.
