Original, colourful and creative, setting a table with painter’s inspiration must obviously take all the elements of a painting studio.
Brushes, palettes, colours, easels, plates, napkins, you can use all of these to impress your guests on a special evening with an arty table. It’s really easy to do yourself!

Idea 1: Colours
It is easier to decorate after selecting a nice theme and being inspired by its colour range. This one all started from a painting by Paul Cézanne. Blue, yellow, orange, brown, 4 main colours stand out at first glance and thus will guide the set-up of the table!
