#bathscaped — artfully arranged incense, plants, tealights and general Zen vibes around the tub.
#platescaped — mounted chintzy dinner plates and your grandma’s china on the wall like it’s 1984.
#candlescaped — covered the dinner table with kooky candles in the shape of boobs/bums/torsos, all with minimum £50 price tags.
#mantelscaped — lived out your It’s a Wonderful Life fantasy and draped supersize garlands and holly around the fireplace.
#escapescaped — perfectly curated your exit plan for a rubbish party. (OK, we made that one up.)
The high-fashion hosts
You can’t enjoy the (catered) food unless the table
setting looks hot, which means pastel linen napkins,
maximalist ceramics, rainbow-coloured crockery
and a few accessories from the style set’s go-to
tablescapers, the Sette. The final touch? A glorious
retro cake made by the influencers’ favourite bakery,
Bakes by Olivia.
So you’ve tablescaped, but have you ...
