Elevate Your Dining Aesthetic: How to Style Your Table with Chevron, Florals, and Scalloped Elegance

Are you wondering how to style a dining table that looks thoughtfully curated yet functional for everyday use? One of our recent customer combinations caught our eye and we couldn’t resist recreating it—it turned out to be a stunning fusion of bold patterns and soft textures. In this blog, we’re diving into how to use key elements like the All-Over Red Chevron Table Cover, Sweet Onion Table Pad, and Sweet Onion Scalloped Placemats to create a truly inviting tablescape.

1. Why Choose the All-Over Red Chevron Table Cover?

Let’s start with the foundation: the All-Over Red Chevron Table Cover. This bold pattern is not for the faint of heart, but it delivers instant visual interest and modern flair. The red zigzag pattern is dynamic and rhythmic, yet the muted tones allow it to pair effortlessly with both vintage and contemporary elements. It sets the perfect base for layering—think of it as your stage for creativity.

2. How Do You Add Warmth and Texture? - Sweet Onion Table Pad

On top of the chevron base, we layered the Sweet Onion Table Pad, a quilted piece featuring a soft floral pattern in dusky pinks, off-whites, and gentle maroons. The quilted texture not only adds depth but also serves a practical function—it helps protect your table from heat and scratches while acting as a soft contrast to the sharper lines of the chevron beneath.

This subtle padding also brings a handcrafted touch that works beautifully for cozy brunches or intimate dinners.

3.Scalloped Edges That Steal the Show

To define each place setting, we used the Sweet Onion Scalloped Placemats, echoing the floral tones of the table pad but with the charming addition of curved edges. These scalloped designs break the visual repetition of the chevron pattern, softening the overall look and adding a sense of elegance.

These placemats are not just about aesthetics—they frame your dishes and help catch spills and crumbs, making cleanup a breeze.

4. Napkins: The Finishing Touch That Makes It Personal

To show how this patterned base can adapt to different moods, we styled the table two ways—each with a distinctive napkin choice that made the setup feel entirely new.

• Dusty Rose Napkins: For a light, inviting brunch setting, we paired neutral beige ceramics with our dusty rose napkins. Their soft pink hue picked up the tones from the floral table pad, tying the whole look together in a romantic, cohesive palette.

• Woven Winter Grey Napkins: For a more dramatic, evening vibe, we opted for deep grey ceramic plates and paired them with woven winter grey napkins. The result was striking and modern. The cool grey added contrast and grounded the warmth of the red base, while the texture of the woven napkins brought subtle richness.

Final Thoughts: Balance Pattern with Texture

If you're wondering how to mix and match table linens without overwhelming the eye, this combination shows how it’s done. The trick is in layering complementary patterns (chevrons and florals), playing with texture (quilted cotton and ceramics), and sticking to a unified colour palette (warm reds, pinks, and neutrals).

This setup isn’t just beautiful—it’s practical, protective, and effortlessly transitional between casual and formal dining.
