How I Set the Table for a Special Evening (My Valentine’s Series - Part 3)
In this week’s How-To, I’m finishing off my Valentine's series by laying the table with you. After sharing the recipes in parts one and two, this final video is all about how I make an everyday table feel special without going overboard!
I talk through how I set our kitchen table, why I always choose pieces that work all year round, and how I restyle the same tablecloth, napkins and candles from Christmas through to February just by changing a few details. I also show you exactly how I lay cutlery properly, share some small but thoughtful touches like ribbon-tied napkins and garden foliage, and explain why I keep everything practical, relaxed and easy to live with.
I’m collaborating with Arthur Price in this video and sharing the cutlery I’ve chosen for our Valentine’s supper. It’s classic, timeless and made to be used every day, not saved for best. If you enjoy the rituals around sitting down together and those little details that make a meal feel considered, I think you’ll really enjoy this one.
I hope you'll join me,
Love, Charlie x
