Laying The Outdoor Table | Master Outdoor Tablescapes With Morris & Co.

It All Starts With The Right Base

A tablecloth is the platform from which your tablescape will shine. As well as being a great opportunity to introduce some pattern and style, tablecloths are also important for introducing a lovely rustic, tactile feel.

Our Fruit Stripe fabric, made to withstand all the British summer can throw at it, is a great tablecloth choice. A sumptuous stripe, the indigo fruit and leaf pattern harks back to the first wallpaper designs ever made by William Morris in 1864.

We bet you’ve got a thing for pattern, just like everyone here at Morris & Co. So, you’re probably also thinking – why make do with just one tablecloth pattern? We couldn’t agree more. Our Strawberry Thief runner adds that extra depth down the middle of your table, drawing the eye along your beautiful tablescape. Whilst our Willow Boughs tablecloth creates botanical wonder.

Flower Power

Nothing says natural like freshly cut flowers. A bouquet here and there makes a world of difference, as does a carefully laid sprig or two. Local cut flowers from your garden (don’t tell the gardener of your home!), combined with natural foliage, helps to introduce a charming rustic theme. Local, in-season vegetation also helps to make your table in harmony with the seasons, wherever you are.

We find using terracotta pots planted with fragrant herbs really does the trick. The earthy tones of terracotta combine with the seasonal scents of basil and oregano, to whet the appetite of every diner!
