Start with your foundation, a high-quality linen or the natural beauty of a wood table. Add depth and texture with runners, stylish napkins, or woven placemats. Then bring in centerpieces of varying heights, floral arrangements, candles, decorative pieces, to create dimension and visual interest.
It's the height variation and the layered textures that read as "designed" rather than just "set."
