Let’s be honest - hosting is the new cool-girl flex. One scroll through your social feed and you’re met with beautifully set tables, artfully arranged florals and dinners that feel more like curated experiences than casual get-togethers.
Glassette founder and tablescaping queen Laura Jackson explained in her cover interview for the H! Fashion December 2024 digital issue that tablescaping is: “[...] all about creating joyful happiness - whether through the outfit you wear, the environment you’re in, or the way you design that perfect setup to make lasting memories.”

Amalfi-Inspired Garden Party
A classic that never gets old. This tablescape leans into Mediterranean charm with a playful, outdoor-ready aesthetic.

Playful Retro Pop
Courtesy of interiors queen Matilda Bea, this design proves the power of 'less is more'. Simple florals, patterned linens and unfussy place settings do enough to create a simple yet stunning table. Oh, and some glorious, bold artwork hanging on the walls helps if you have it.

Eccentric Explosion
Last but most certainly not least, this bold, vibrant and unapologetically eclectic tablescape is all about colour confidence.
