Table Setting Consultation
A table that finally feels finished
Forty minutes with a stylist, working from your own photographs, can turn a table that never quite comes together into one you're genuinely glad to set.
Back to homeThe promise
What this session gives you
By the end of your consultation, you'll have a labelled plan drawing showing exactly where each piece sits, a clear list of what you already own that fits, and a short list of what might be worth adding later. Nothing about it depends on buying anything from us — it's simply a table that finally makes sense.
The problem
When a table never quite comes together
Maybe you've inherited pieces from different sets that don't sit comfortably side by side. Maybe you're hosting a formal dinner for the first time and aren't sure what "correct" even looks like. Or maybe the table simply feels bare no matter what you put on it. None of that means you've done anything wrong — table settings are genuinely fiddly to get right on your own, and most people are guessing at proportions they've never had explained to them.
The solution
How the session actually works
You send a few photographs of your table, your linen and the china or glassware you already own. A stylist reviews them ahead of the call, so the forty minutes you spend together goes straight to specifics rather than generalities. We talk through the occasion, the number of settings, and any pieces you're especially attached to.
What comes out of it is a labelled diagram — not vague advice — along with plain language explaining why each placement works for your particular table, not a textbook one.

The experience
What the forty minutes feel like
Before
Send your photographs whenever suits you, along with a note on the occasion. No preparation beyond that.
During
A relaxed conversation, not a lecture — plenty of room for your own preferences and questions along the way.
After
Your plan drawing and notes arrive shortly after the session, ready to reference whenever you next set the table.

The proof
Judged under real light, not just a showroom
Every recommendation draws on how a piece actually behaves once it's on your table, which is why we review refraction under three lighting conditions before suggesting anything.

The guarantee
No pressure, however it goes
If the session doesn't leave you with a clearer sense of your table, tell us — we'll happily revisit the plan together at no extra charge. There's never an expectation to buy anything from the recommendations, and you're welcome to bring the plan to any shop you like, ours included.
