June 26, 2020 - 09:38 BST Leanne Bayley When the UK went into lockdown I created tablescapes most evenings. You might think this is a little strange, but not only did it lift the mood within my household, it also transformed the kitchen table from a 9-to-5 office space to somewhere to enjoy our evening meal.
3. Make an entrance When your guests arrive, it’s important to make an impact on arrival. You need to envoke all five senses. Start with scent, I would suggest lighting a candle with a natural fragrance to fill your home’s entrance. Light ‘Elevate’ from Hart + Hunter to naturally lift the mood and energise through the perfected blend of Ylang Ylang flowers, Grapefruit peel, Bergamot rind, and Cedarwood, a combination to welcome and uplift any occasion.

I am obsessed with bright and bold tablescapes, especially this time of year when the sun isn’t always shining. Bring summer into your home in the form of a beautifully set table. Go crazy for colour as the best thing about using a rainbow of colours is that you don’t have to worry too much about pairing your pieces. Buy items that you are going to keep and re-use, try to reduce waste as homeware items can be used again and again.
7. Flower Power For me, florals will make your tablescape. They add a natural, delicate feel to the set-up. I’ve been using Bloom and Wild throughout lockdown. I love ‘the Evie’ letterbox bouquet as it is bursting with colour.BUY NOW Half of the bouquet goes into a vase and the other is cut up into small posies which are peppered throughout the table. I use mini vintage glass vases and have purchased these Apothecary bud vases.
9. Light it up Let's talk candles! During lockdown I created my own candle brand, Fairholme. Made with a luxury blend of soy and beeswax, these hand-dipped taper candles are a perfect addition to your VIP tablescape. All of the shades are inspired by important women in my life and 10 percent of every sale is donated to Women’s Aid, a charity which helps women and children in the UK.
