The Founder

For me, the most beautiful moments start around the table. I'm inspired by antique markets, English gardens and long lunches that drift into summer evenings. I created The Table Stylist as a place to celebrate the art of gathering. Alongside a growing Instagram community, I share beautifully considered tables, seasonal inspiration and a timeless approach to entertaining, encouraging others to make those everyday moments feel a little more memorable. 

The Brand

The Table Stylist is a creative studio specialising in luxury tablescaping, floral styling and event design for brands, private clients and editorial campaigns. From intimate dinners to large-scale launches, every project is thoughtfully curated: from bespoke florals and layered tables to immersive styling that transforms a space and tells a story. 

The Latest

This season, I'm embracing a softer, more romantic approach to entertaining – think gathered garden florals, heirloom-inspired linens, sculptural vegetable displays and considered tables that celebrate the joy of slowing down. Alongside styling luxury brand events and private celebrations, I'm expanding my in-house floral offering to create bespoke arrangements and installations that bring each setting to life. As always, my inspiration is rooted in the seasons, with every project designed to make moments around the table feel special.

When has an oven dish ever looked this chic? It's designed to go straight from the oven to the centre of the table, ready for everyone to help themselves.

I've always been drawn to bringing vegetables into my tablescapes, whether it's artichokes, asparagus or tomatoes fresh from the vine. These woven napkin rings capture that same sense of playful elegance, celebrating the beauty of the kitchen garden in the most unexpected way.

There's something so welcoming about banquette seating – it creates a softer, more intimate dining space. This slipcovered design that comes in a bench, corner and extended corner has a lovely, relaxed feel, while the hidden storage is ideal for keeping placemats, napkins and entertaining essentials stored neatly away.

I've always believed the most beautiful homes are collected rather than decorated and this Astier de Villatte vase has that exact feel. Handmade in Paris, it will look perfect filled with garden flowers.

I've just ordered this pendant for our dining room. The right lighting has the power to transform a space and this floral-inspired linen shade feels both quietly elegant and completely timeless. 

I've always been drawn to tables that blur the line between nature and decoration. This sculptural asparagus candle is so unexpected; it celebrates the beauty of everyday ingredients in a way that feels both playful and chic.

This is the dining table I have in my own home. Whether it's an impromptu supper or a table full of family at Christmas, it adapts to every occasion. I truly believe the best dining tables are the ones that make it easy to say, 'There's always room for one more.’

To me, true luxury is making guests feel completely at ease. An ice bucket left within easy reach is one of those thoughtful touches that encourages everyone to pour another drink, stay a little longer and make themselves more at home.

It's the subtle details that often make the biggest impact and I love the delicate broderie anglaise palm tree pattern on this tablecloth. It adds texture and character without overwhelming the table. Whenever possible, I always size up my tablecloths. A generous overhang creates a softer silhouette and gives everything a more luxurious feel.

A well-laid table starts from the ground up. These scalloped placemats frame every place setting effortlessly, adding just enough polish while still letting the food, flowers and conversation take centre stage. They can also be layered or mixed and matched for a more undone look.
