Spring Table Styling Ideas for the First Day of Spring in the UK

The first day of spring in the UK falls on 20th March this year. It marks the moment when the days begin to feel longer and the light starts returning to our homes. After the darker months of winter, it often feels like the right time to refresh your table and bring a bit more colour back into your everyday!

Spring is also the start of a season of gathering. This year Easter arrives early on 6th April, which makes the beginning of spring a lovely moment to think about setting the table for lunches, dinners and long weekend get togethers with friends and family.

A spring table does not need to feel overly formal. A few thoughtful pieces of glassware, ceramics and linen can completely change the atmosphere.

Setting a Spring Table

Spring tables often work best when the colours feel light and relaxed. Rather than everything matching perfectly, mixing tones and textures usually feels more natural.

Start with linen as the base. Our Pink Double Piped Linen Napkins bring a soft layer of colour to the table while still feeling simple and easy to live with.

Glassware is an easy way to introduce colour without making the table feel heavy. The Green Pom Wine Glass paired with the Blue Pom Glass Carafe adds contrast while still keeping the palette fresh and balanced.

Adding ceramics can help anchor the table and give it a sense of weight. The Marsyas Ceramic Jug works beautifully as a centrepiece. It can be filled with water, fresh juice or a few spring flower like tulips or blossom (there's already so much of it this year!).

Small details make a difference too. Our Multicoloured Squiggle Glass Napkin Rings bring a playful touch and help tie the colours of the table together.

Gathering Around the Table

One of the best things about the start of spring is the return of slower meals and relaxed gatherings. As the days grow lighter it becomes easier to sit around the table for a little longer in the evening, without feeling like going into hibernation mode! 

Spring entertaining rarely needs to be complicated. Often it is just about creating a table that feels warm, relaxed and ready for people to sit around.
