The Term Table Scape for all intents and purposes simply refers to the design elements that are arranged on tables creating an oasis of color, flare, and texture. Of course the presents of a fork and a plate is not the complete picture when it comes to the ultimate table scape. Though, the functionality of forks and plates are a must we should look beyond the norm! To master table scapes there are three major components of the design that should be considered.... functionality, theme and cost. While flowers are the most commonly used item when we think of what can and should be a part of a table scape. I challenge you to think beyond the "flower" and incorporate an artistic balance that will allow your design to look as if it is dancing on the table ; )

To add texture you can choose to use linen that has a pattern or a unique material that is intriguing to the eye and to the touch.
