Hey! We get you. After working hard all day, you want to come home and relax in a space that is effortlessly beautiful, an oasis away from the noise and stress that comes with multitasking at work, on some days, way beyond your eight hours.

Sometimes parts of that oasis may need a bit of tweaking, for instance, swapping out the place settings on your table and giving your dining space the makeover it needs can do wonders for your well-being.

Here’s the thing we get though.

You don’t necessarily want to pour every last bit of your hard-earned money into putting said look together. However, you do want something special to signal this time of year, where the poui trees blossom their brightest and Easter signals a time of renewal and hope.

So when Dwellings invited us to take a first look at their latest arrivals of dining table accessories, which features lush patterns, fresh colours and affordable accessories, we happily acquiesced.

As expected from the store’s design team led by Vani Maharaj, we found the most gorgeous table linens, in patterns no less (these went home with us ), dishware that will add personality to your table no matter what its style, and vases with flowers that will lift your spirits with the added bonus of not having any impact on your sinus.

Here are three of our favourite looks from our private showing. All of them will work in a formal or family-friendly setting, in a large room or tiny nook.

All you have to do is this tailor the looks to your style or grab them, as is. 

The looks are all available in store now.

Wanting to bring the vibrancy of the outdoors inside your home is only natural when you live in the Caribbean. With this look, think of hues in blues and greens to add a warm, tropical feel to your space.

If you’re new to dining table decorating or looking to take your design skills up few notches think only of three words: layer, layer, layer!

Start with some tropical leaf patterned table runners and layer these blue hyacinth chargers and aqua seagrass placemats on top of them. Layering adds texture and dimension and will set the base for your visual feast.

Next, add a variety of white dishes in different sizes along with napkins. The white dishes will temper but not neutralize all the lush colours of this look.

Embellishments will always be your dining table’s friend. To enhance the look, don’t be afraid to add some more tabletop sparkle with these beaded burst aqua napkin rings along with some tropical faux florals in modern white vases.

You and your guests are guaranteed to love the island vibe of this tropical look.
