Seasonal Table Trends for Spring 2026

Pinterest has spoken – cabbages are this year's 'It vegetable' (yes, there is such a thing), and this means using it in more ways than boiling or sautéing.

To achieve this earthy, bountiful look, lean into bright, bold colours that reflect the meal you’re providing.

Begin with a crisp white tablecloth and use real vegetables as your centrepiece along the middle of the table. Next, turn to the Bordallo Pinero playbook for place settings and serveware: lay the table with the brand’s range of ceramic vegetables such as cabbages (of course), avocados, artichokes, pitayas, kiwis and tomatoes.

Extra points if your floral arrangements match the vegetable colourways of those found in your menu.

Our stylists’ response to the ongoing mindful eating trend, this look ensures nothing on the table is louder than the contented silence of well-fed guests.

Soft, tactile pieces in natural, blush-tone finishes – linen napkins, place settings and artfully draped embroidered tablecloths – are accented with gentle scalloped edges.

Heritage wooden boards and organic shapes in dark colourways provide grounding, while gold-tone cutlery reflects the warmth of candlelight.

Finally, rustic, hand-finished stoneware, such as these plates from Maison Margeaux, deepens the table’s sense of intimate, artisanal polish.

Leaning into Versailles-meets-Bridgerton grandeur, this heritage-inspired look brings maximalist elegance to the modern home.

Pastels, toile de Jouy prints, textured crystal and warm accents capture the aesthetic of stately homes, while abundant foliage and florals (we recommend Silk-Ka's faux flowers) add life and texture.

Don’t be concerned about mixing patterns and colours – it’s part of this trend’s charm, giving your table a rich, layered personality.

It’s clear that the natural world is a key theme this season, and this grounded display offers leafy, verdant vegetables as the central motif.

Bordallo Pinheiro once more takes a starring role – we see you, cabbage plates, bowls and tureens – while more rustic finishes like bamboo-handled cutlery from Les-Ottomans and wicker napkin rings from Cabbana Magazine give the overall aesthetic a charmingly hand-finished quality.

For a high-contrast note, scatter ripe tomatoes on the vine throughout the tablescape, and use blooming white roses to highlight intricate cream embroidery, creating a look that’s soft but curated.

Leaning into the importance of tactility and natural materials, this setting blends rustic hospitality with contemporary style.

Imagine that the fields have been harvested, the fireplace is lit and the organic wine is aerating, ready to bring a warm glow to the evening’s entertainment. This is a seasonal spread for the modern countryside home – or one that uses that aesthetic liberally.

Touches of rich, pigmented colour complement the natural, grounded presence of creams, bronzed metallics and cider-hued bases, as though posies and poppies were blooming over fields of barley. Warmth is key: wax-strewn candlesticks are welcome, contrasting patterns like stripes and checks coexist in harmony, while mixing cutlery from your favourite collections adds playful character.
