An Easter Table in Linen

Mix, match and make it beautifully yours with the Bare Collection

Easter is one of my favourite times to gather around the table.

It is a time for family, for sharing food, for remembering what matters and for creating those long, lingering meals that become memories.

For my Easter table this year, I wanted something natural, relaxed and full of colour — so I reached for the Bare Collection.

The beauty of Bare is that there are no rules. The 100% linen tablecloths, runners and napkins are designed to mix and match, allowing you to create a table that feels completely your own.

Start with a simple linen foundation

I love beginning with a neutral linen tablecloth.

The natural simplicity of the Bare Collection gives you a beautiful canvas to build upon. From there, you can introduce colour through your napkins, runners, flowers, crockery and food.

For Easter, white linen with blue napkins creates a fresh and elegant table. Add olive branches, seasonal fruit and beautiful ceramics and you have a table that feels relaxed rather than overly styled.

The secret is to let the linen breathe.

Don't make every place setting the same

One of my favourite things about the Bare Collection is mixing different napkin colours around the same table.

Instead of buying one colour for everyone, choose two or three shades that work together.

Try:

White + blue for a fresh Mediterranean feeling.

Natural + blue for something soft and earthy.

White + warm terracotta for a richer Easter table.

Or mix several colours together for a table that feels collected and abundant.

You don't need everything to match.

It just needs to belong together.

Layer your colours

A simple way to create interest is to layer your linen.

Start with your tablecloth, then add a runner or introduce different napkin colours at each place setting.

I particularly love the contrast of deep blue linen with soft white and patterned napkins.

It feels elegant but still relaxed — and the beauty of linen's natural creases makes the whole table feel wonderfully lived in.

Let Easter's colours come from nature

You don't need traditional Easter decorations to make an Easter table feel special.

Look around you.

Bring in olive branches, fresh fruit, pomegranates, figs, flowers or whatever is growing in your garden.

For this table, the olive branches create movement down the centre, while the fruit adds colour and abundance.

And I love using food as part of the table decoration.

A beautiful bowl of fruit can be just as striking as a flower arrangement.

Easter is about gathering

Ultimately, the table is not about getting every detail right.

It is about who sits around it.

Put the bread in the middle.

Pass the fruit.

Pour another glass.

Let the napkins become a little crumpled.

Let the conversation continue long after the plates are empty.

That is the kind of table I want to create.

Beautiful, yes.

But also welcoming, generous and lived in.

Create your Easter table your way

With the Bare Collection, and Printed Napkins you don't have to choose just one look.

Choose a linen tablecloth you love, add a runner, mix your napkin colours and build from there.

Mix the colours. Mix the textures. Mix the patterns.

Make it elegant or relaxed. Simple or abundant.

There are no rules.

Just your table, your people and your own version of beautiful.
