It might be a great idea to do an inventory first before you try the decor repurposing challenge. You have the freedom when it comes to categorising your props and textiles. Once you’re done, you can now list down a couple of ideas for your next tabletop project!

Is there any specific aesthetic you’re currently crazy for in Pinterest? Or is there any movie or event you want to pay homage to? Take a quick look in your inventory and see if you have enough decor to come up with the perfect tablescape!

Mix and match styles using your chameleon-esque decor

Chameleon-esque decor simply refers to props and textiles that can go with almost anything. This doesn’t just have to be the minimalistic and neutral colors, though! Truth be told, tabletop decor is almost always flexible.

Your different props and textiles can be mixed and match in lots and lots of ways! The challenge is for you to step out of your comfort zone and come up with a tablescape that is not your usual go-to design. Tablestyling is as diverse as you allow yourself to be.

You won’t go wrong with the simple elements

Tabletop decor might be flexible and diverse, but that does not mean you have to include one prop after another. Remember to take note of these two design elements: color and texture. While you’re brainstorming, don’t forget to include a color palette for your tablescape project. This will also help you choose which props and textiles are perfect for the design.

We’d also like to emphasize how important texture is. Texture on tablescape design brings out the dimensional aspect of the design. Try using 2-3 textures to complement each other in a tabletop decor. You will notice the huge difference texture makes!

Two words to go by: Floral arrangements

Floral pieces complete a tablescape design! Flowers also have that chameleon-esque factor. They can be used in various events and decor. For table decorations, floral arrangements are like the final piece of the puzzle. It brings the whole look together, plus it brings out the organic aspect of the design. 

Choose from a variety of colors and sizes before you use your props and textiles to make them a perfect part of your tabletop design!

Happy designing!
