Roshan Adam-Holslag, founder, Ro'Table2Repurpose Seasonal DecorSamantha NapolitanoRepurpose any colorful Christmas decorations for spring decorations. Most festive decor comes in pink, red, blue, or green, which are versatile colors that can be doubled up as spring decor, as long as they are plain without any obvious holiday-specific patterns or quotes.

Alexandra Kaehler, interior designer8Layer Your Glassware Casa de SunaDont overlook the impact that thoughtfully chosen glassware can have. We love including a variety of shapes, such as wine glasses, water goblets, and even specialty glasses for specific beverages. Experiment with heights to create a dynamic look: Place taller pieces toward the center and gradually transition to shorter glasses toward the outer edges. This decrease in height adds a subtle layering effect that draws the eye across the table. Andrea Wells, founder, Casa de SunaAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below9Mix in a Moodier HueCourtesy Studio McGee I suggest trying a darker palette for your Easter table styling, layering in lighter and brighter elements along the way. With a neutral gray color scheme, this look appeals to brighter, sunnier days without diving full force into white.

Mixing and matching can be intimidating, but start with a graphic tablecloth, patterned dishware, or glassware and build off a color story from here. Colors can be married together across the table through your florals and other accessories, like servingware, or even the color of the drinks you might be serving. Olivia Massie, founder and creative director, Maison Venu12Keep the Candles Lit Loris Casonato PhotographyI enjoy decorating with long contemporary candleholders in eclectic colors in a precious combination with Murano glass artifacts or collectible Japanese porcelains that I use only for special events. This evokes the sense of forgotten elegance and is a lovely way to connect with our roots from Venice, by creating a visually stunning ambience that delights both the eye and the soul.

Want to know whats not controversial? A colorful table. Everyone can rally around a setting thats sunny, optimistic, and chic, so pile on your favorite pieces, and dont worry about over-scaping.

Incorporate the pastel palette through fresh blooms and the produce that the early spring has to offer. These pale hues can often be found in some of the most beautiful seasonal elements at your local farmers market. Melissa Lee and Erika Chou, Bespoke Only20Find Perfection in ImperfectionCourtesy Fete HomeI confess: I love a festive table! I remember watching my mom set tables for special occasions, each one created with so much joy, love, and understanding of the people around it. It wasnt about perfection (though her tables always were, in my opinion). Instead, she would add soul. Old family photos tucked into flowers, funny wind-up toys scattered down the center or a sprinkle of glitter for, well, just because! She knew just how to bring life to the table, and it encouraged us to talk, listen, laugh, and celebrate our core values. And when I see my own kids drawing pictures or writing silly jokes to decorate family dinner tables, Im filled with pride.
