How to add personality to your table setting:
1. Vases or Fruit Bowls
The easiest way to add interest to your dining table is simply by adding a centerpiece, such as a vase filled with fresh flowers, or a fruit bowl filled with fresh fruit.
A statement vase filled with a colourful array of fresh flowers has a mood-boosting effect and always attracts the eye.
Luckily, if you're a hayfever sufferer, or just rubbish at keeping cut flowers alive, you'll be pleased to hear that a fruit bowl filled with fresh fruit has seemingly the same effect!
@tegelsnacan on Instagram, shows us both options in effect in an otherwise understated setting, an excellent example of how you can draw the eye with your centerpiece choice and add a pop of colour to a more neutral backdrop.

2. Candles and Candle Holders
What's a dinner without dinner candles? They're the finishing touch to a table setting and nothing beats setting the mood with the ambient glow of a candle flame.
We have a wide selection of colorful tapered candles from Mægen, perfect for adding a pop of color to your table setting, because why settle for white?
Or, if you prefer a more neutral yet geometric look, then BZZWAX's collection is for you. These candles come in sleek, modern shapes and neutral tones, perfect for a minimalist aesthetic.
We also offer a variety of unique candle holders, so whether you're after glass or ceramic, tapered candles or tealights, we've got you covered!
Here, @hej_colourful.home, shows us how even a single candle can make a statement when alongside a large vase.

3. Glassware
Glassware often goes overlooked, it may seem like a small detail, but the right glassware can make a statement at the dining table.
If you're a fan of modern, sleek design, then Aaron Probyn's glassware and stemware are perfect for you. With clean lines and a minimalist aesthetic, these pieces will elevate any table setting. Whether you're serving a simple glass of water or a fine wine, Aaron Probyn glassware is the perfect choice for any occasion.
If you prefer a more playful and unique touch, the Messy Glasses from Byon Design are the perfect choice for you. These glasses add a touch of fun and creativity to your dining table, making them a conversation starter at any gathering. They come in a variety of colours, and are the perfect choice for a more casual setting.

4. Tableware
Your crockery is the main character at the table, and is also what you will use the most, therefore, it's worth investing in something high quality, and timeless.
At Sunny's, we have a selection of ceramic dinner plates and bowls from Made In Japan. Japanese ceramics are known for their superior quality and craftsmanship, these pieces are hand-made by artisans in Japan, making each one unique.
If you're looking for statement dining ware, that you cherish for years and only bring out on special occasions, or if you're simply looking for something that will elevate your everyday dining routine, you can find it in Made In Japan. Take a look!

5. Serveware
Another must-have for dinner parties, has to be serveware. Impress your guests at your next pizza party by serving up the pizza on the round Heath Serving Board, and your bruschetta on the Pill version, (we have actually done this ourselves, it was quite the spectacle, highly recommend).
The Heath range by Aaron Probyn was designed with communal dining in mind. They're excellent for grazing boards or a loaf of sourdough and they make excellent chopping boards. They're manufactured using certified American Maple hardwood, a durable material that can withstand knife cuts and resist moisture.
If you're after a fun way to serve up small snacks and treats, check out the Snoopy Trinket Dish, or the Bubble Dish.

Don't forget Ramekins!
These aren't just great for cooking prep, they're a must have for serving up dips, or antipasti with your grazing boards.
6. Extras!
Don't forget all the little accessories to complement, and add the finishing touches to your table setting.
Every detail counts!
