How do you set a table stylishly with Sola cutlery?

A well-set table contributes to an atmospheric and organised dining experience. By paying attention to the right layout and presentation, you create a welcoming setting. With high-quality Sola cutlery, you give your table an elegant and luxurious appearance. Here you can read how to set a table correctly and stylishly for a formal dinner with Sola cutlery.

1. Start with a solid foundation

A beautiful table setting starts with a tablecloth or table runner. This not only creates a neat look, but also protects the table. Next, place underplates as a stylish base. These can serve as a decorative element and support the presentation of the dishes. Use the beautiful Sola cutlery to complete the table setting.

2. Sola cutlery: the right order

Cutlery is laid out in order of use, from outside to inside. This helps guests intuitively choose the right cutlery for each course.

Forks from Sola go on the left side of the plate. The outer fork is used first.

Knives and spoons from Sola are on the right side of the plate. The cutting edge of knives points inwards.

Dessert cutlery from Sola is placed above the plate. A fork points to the right, a spoon to the left.

3. Placing glassware correctly

Glasses are placed right above the plate, increasing in size from front to back:

Water glass is closest to the plate.
Wine or juice glasses are placed next to it, depending on the menu.
Champagne glasses can be added as an extra element for special occasions.

4. Napkins and decoration

A napkin can be laid out in different ways: on the plate, in a ring or folded next to the cutlery. This adds to the luxurious look. Furthermore, add decorative accents such as candles or flowers, but make sure they do not obstruct the view. Combine these elements with the elegant Sola cutlery for a stylish look.

5. Additional details for refinement

Name tags: Help with an organised table setting.
Bread and butter dishes: Left above the plate with a small butter knife from Sola.
Water carafes and additional accessories: Offer convenience and enhance the look.

A stylishly set table exudes class and hospitality. By applying a logical layout and refined details, you make the dining experience for your guests even more special. With Sola's timeless and high-quality cutlery, you will ensure a luxurious look that perfectly suits every dinner. Good luck with your preparations!
