As we enter spring, we're dusting off our fine china and preparing for the summer entertaining season. We all want our tablescapes to look elegant, but avoid the setting feeling too formal or stuffy. Sarah Jessica Parker strikes the perfect balance.
The iconic Sex and The City actress took to Instagram to share her spring tablescape, which is elevated but relaxed enough to stay out on the table all the time. It features a marled, bohemian tablecloth in orange, blue, and green that almost looks like a persian rug. In the center of the table, SJP has created a stunning line of candles. She chose antique style, bronze candle holders, with a pink taper candle in the center of each. The overall effect is welcoming and luxurious.
Luckily, Sarah Jessica's dining table decor idea is easy to recreate with just three simple parts: a tablecloth, candlesticks, and colorful candles. We scoured Amazon to find the best affordable picks to replicate the luxurious look at a less-than-luxury price point. It couldn't look chicer.
Recreate the look
SJP's tablecloth almost looks like a Persian rug, and this stunning bohemian cloth emulates the look. It instantly creates a rich and storied feel.
These pink taper candles come in a set of 12 making it easy to create a striking effect. They would look especially stunning in gold candlestick holders.
These antique-style candle holders bring a rich, storied feel. They sit at varied heights to make any room more interesting. If you use pendant lighting, candlesticks like these can help offset the look and make it less severe.
The relatively simple design is perfect for when it's just you at home, but if you're hosting a meal, you might want to add plates, napkins, and wine glasses. To ground the eclectic feel of the tablecloth and candlesticks, we recommend simple white and glass dishware. These pieces are the perfect investment, because this type of dinnerware set can be used for a variety of tablescapes, no matter the style.
