Life, Styled
We always say details matter, and that goes beyond a project. Your home is filled with details that tell your guests who you are and what matters to you. Artwork, pottery pieces, and furniture are just a few things that give homeowners a chance to show off their style. Another area is hosting, and tablescapes have become a beautiful, fun way to share your own unique design choices with family and friends. Whether it is for a small gathering to enjoy time with those you love or to celebrate a special occasion, there are many ways to create the perfect look. By combining different colors, patterns, or materials, you can create a tablescape that will dazzle your guests, whether you prefer an elaborate or simple design.
What Is A Tablescape?
A tablescape is simply the term used to describe the pairing of dinnerware with decor or the decor of the table by itself. It is organizing your table in a way that expresses your own creativity. It is meant to voice a particular theme, ambiance, or feeling for everyone who sees it, and it is not limited to the dining room table. You can create a beautiful scene on your coffee table, bedroom dresser, and even the fireplace mantle. The goal is to use design to create an environment where people can enjoy the beauty, heighten the guests’ experience, and help them feel at ease. It does not have to be elaborate to achieve these goals, just a touch of you and a dash of hospitality. Read a little more here.
How To Create A Tablescape
There are so many ways to form a winning tablescape, from elegant to elaborate; it is completely up to you. There are different themes, styles, and options that can produce exactly what you need and want. Here are some ideas to get you started.
- Minimalistic: This does not mean boring and bland; rather, it means choosing materials that tend to mimic nature, such as wood and glass. Europe 2 You, for whom we are authorized dealers, has a large array of items such as serving boards, woven baskets, glass jars, and wooden bowls that easily make any table look like it belongs in a magazine. We have used many of their pieces on several occasions, and they are always a winner.
- Fresh flowers: No matter what style, they always form a great core to build your design around or add the perfect finishing touch to the tablescape. Flowers send a warm invitation to your guests and can help them relax through their beauty so don’t forget to add a little to your next design, local farmer’s markets are a great place to grab some at affordable prices.
- Mix and match: Variety brings visual interest to any tablescape, including varying materials. Who said that a tablescape had to have matching pieces? Using bamboo plates with textured napkins makes for a fun place setting. Place your beautiful serving dish on a metal holder. Fill pottery vases with fresh flowers or interesting pieces of wire art. Incorporate glass jars containing colored rocks and add a little water. All of these different elements will result in a tablescape that is stunning and perfectly you. Mercana is another company that we are authorized dealers for, and they have a large collection of items that will make your design stand out!
- Color: There are so many ways to add color to your tablescape. Fabrics can be used in table runners, napkins, full covers, or even folded and layered. Accent pieces such as candle holders, napkin rings, greenery, vases, and baskets can easily add pops of color.
- Holidays: Often, some of the most fun tablescapes come from following a holiday theme, and it always makes the event more memorable and enjoyable for everyone!

The kitchen has always been considered the heart of the home, but in 2026, it’s evolving even further, becoming a space that blends style, comfort, technology, and connection. Today’s homeowners want kitchens that feel warm, personalized, and highly functional for everyday life.
At Greenbrook Design Kitchen & Bath, we’re seeing several exciting kitchen design trends shaping new builds and remodeling projects. If you’re planning a kitchen renovation, these design ideas are defining the year ahead.
We are honored to share that Greenbrook Design has been featured in the January/February 2026 issue of Kitchen & Bath Design News, appearing on page 66. Being recognized in one of the industry’s most respected national publications is an incredible milestone for our team and a testament to the craftsmanship, creativity, and collaboration behind every project we design and build.
Greenbrook DesignWhen it comes to remodeling your kitchen or bathroom, the choices can feel overwhelming. Big-box stores, online retailers, and out-of-town contractors all promise convenience, but there’s something truly special about working with a local design center
If you’ve ever watched a home renovation show or scrolled Pinterest for inspiration, you’ve probably thought, “I could do that myself.” DIY kitchen and bathroom remodels can seem appealing, especially when you’re trying to save money.
If you’re craving a home that feels fresh, calm, and elevated, without looking stark or trendy, warm neutrals are having a major moment. One shade we’re loving for kitchens, baths, and whole-home design is Sherwin-Williams Color of the Year: Universal Khaki, a grounded neutral that brings soft warmth, subtle depth, and timeless character to cabinetry and interiors.
