Dressing up the dining table will get you into the Easter spirit. No need to hop from store to store to find the prettiest tableware and accessories with these fresh home-grown ideas from the best tablescapers across Ireland: they’ll give you good reason to call off your hunt for good.

Hostaro Tableware’s Samantha Ashe has curated beautiful looks to give customers a helping hand when it comes to tablescaping and general styling ideas; we particularly love the Lemondade tablescape in spring-fresh blues and yellows; www.hostarotableware.com. Cleverly, Clodagh McKenna suggests buying natural linen (layering two colours like sage green and biscuit) by the metre in a fabric store and using the fabric as a tablecloth and a runner. And The Designed Table, launching later this month in Brown Thomas, has the most beautiful bamboo placemats with a soft yellow or green border as well as white linen-mix napkins with a yellow or green embroidered edge and yellow and green velvet bow napkin rings; www.thedesignedtable.com. Tablescaping aficionado Maria Reidy has designed a stunning Irish linen stripe tablecloth and the result is too beautiful to pass up; www.signature-editions.ie.  

Whether you’re hosting a formal family affair or a laid-back brunch, you’ll need on-trend patterned table linens, welcoming candles and a fun centrepiece like hanging ribboned eggs from artfully arranged blooming branches (like dogwood or cherry blossom) … Find some inspiration below.
