Tableware

The key is finding the right balance. You need enough tableware for the food you’re serving, laid out in a convenient and aesthetically pleasing way. But you don’t want to overdo it. Even if you’re hosting a special dinner party, less can be more. Try to use colour to your advantage and make sure your table looks uniform.

The four main types of tableware you will find on a well-dressed table are serveware, dinnerware, flatware and drinkware. You need to have the right combination of all four to meet all your dining needs.

It’s as important as you want it to be. But setting the table for any Sydney meal can help to elevate the food you are serving and improve the Australian dining experience.
