Setting The Table For Summer
When it comes to summer entertaining, having a beautifully styled table can instantly elevate any gathering, whether it’s a casual family dinner or a special get-together with friends. Today, I’m sharing my easy summer tablescape ideas that are perfect for both everyday dining and outdoor celebrations! I’m styling a round table that is 60 inches wide for four settings, incorporating a fresh and airy design that brings the best of summer into your home.
Creating the Perfect Summer Tablescape
Designing a summer table setting doesn’t have to be complicated! The key is to keep things light, inviting, and functional while incorporating beautiful textures, colors, and natural elements. For this setup, I’m using a mix of neutral tones with pops of color to keep things fresh and timeless.
The Base: Summer Table Runner & Linens
A summer table cloth is a great way to set the foundation for your tablescape. I opted for an Beige striped cloth adding a pattern without overpowering the table. Pairing the cloth with simple, neutral-toned placemats helps define each setting while keeping the overall look cohesive.
Table Settings: Casual Elegance
For my summer table settings, I’m using woven rattan chargers as the base, layered with white dinner plates and salad plates. This combination creates a beautiful contrast while maintaining an effortless summer vibe. Gold flatware adds warmth and pairs beautifully with natural elements.
For glassware, I love using ribbed clear drinking glasses that reflect the summer light. Stemmed wine glasses or elegant tumblers work perfectly for serving refreshing drinks during your gathering.
Urban Garden Prints
Our dining room just got a fresh update with the Best Fronds Pair wall art from Urban Garden Prints, and I’m in love! These botanical prints bring the perfect organic touch to our space, adding a modern yet timeless feel. I chose the 30 x 40 paper prints and framed them with a sleek Amazon frame – such an easy way to elevate your home decor. Whether you prefer paper or wrapped canvas, these prints are a beautiful statement piece that blends seamlessly into a neutral, earthy, or coastal-inspired home.

Simple Summer Table Centerpieces
A summer table centerpiece should be both beautiful and functional. I’m keeping it simple with a large, ceramic vase filled with realistic faux stems and a pop of color with some faux lemons. The greenery adds a lush touch. If you’re hosting an outdoor event, consider using a mix of fresh florals to keep your centerpiece looking vibrant throughout the evening.
This keeps the centerpiece light and airy while adding a subtle charm to the table. A few tall candles in holders complete the look or one accent candle, creating a warm and inviting ambiance as the sun sets indoors or outdoors!
