Compose a formal table board.

Answer four questions and read back a structured hosting plan. Everything is a styling suggestion you can adjust, never a guaranteed outcome.

The board updates as you adjust the brief. It is a styling suggestion, not a fixed rule, so adapt it to the pieces you own.

Dinner for Six table reference

Dinner for Six for 6 covers

A composed ink navy table planned for 6 places. Use it as a styling starting point and adjust to the pieces you already own.

Place setting

  • Charger and dinner plate per cover
  • Fork left, knife and spoon right, neatly aligned
  • One water glass and one wine glass per cover
  • Folded napkin with a silver ring beside the plate

Serveware checklist

  • 2 silver-tone serving dishes for shared courses
  • 2 porcelain serving bowls in graduated sizes
  • One oval serving tray for carrying dishes to the table
  • A covered tureen or lidded dish as the centre serving piece

Linen & colour

  • Ink navy tablecloth with ivory plates
  • 6 napkins, burgundy napkin folded at each cover
  • Lightly relaxed cloth for an easier table

Centre line

  • A pair of taper candles and a small low arrangement

Ink navy reads as the anchor; keep metals polished and plates ivory so the table stays calm.
