There are several ways to make an attractive table for guests, depending on the occasion and amount of people. Your dinner table decor can be very simple or may be creative. For example, a regular dinner invitation can include placing a colorized linen tablecloth. Lacy table clothes and fancy napkins can accent a table. Use complementary colors such as reds and greens for a tablecloth and use bowls and chinaware that have a pattern that would complement the cover. On the tablecloth, you could place lightly scented candles and a vase of fresh cut flowers to match the color of the cover. Roses and carnations are plain colored flowers that would give off a light scent and will match many patterns and designs on table clothes and napkins. The dinnerware and folded napkins should match the tablecloth.
