How To Use Color With Your Neutral Table Decor Including Accent Plates and Vases

*This post is sponsored by Lenox

Hello and good morning friends! As summer has finally arrived, I am taking the opportunity to share some fun ways to use color with your neutral table decor! This can easily be done with accent plates, fresh fruit and vases with blooming flowers. Lenox kindly sent me some of their beautiful products to share with you for this post today and I can’t wait to show you how it pulled all together!

For starters, it is always a good idea to use painted vases on your tabletop and add even more color with flowers. These Lenox painted indigo vases (Floral Tall, Drip Glaze Low, and Floral Tapered) were a lovely touch of blue. I chose to decorate with a trio of them as part of the special centerpiece arrangement. Here are some tips below on how you can also make these colorful arrangements…

Line your vases up along the center of the table. I kept them staggered by height.

Then, I like to use my fullest flowers first (i.e. fluffy hydrangeas and bursting peonies). Even smaller and shorter vases can hold bigger flowers just fine!

Next, begin to add filler greenery or smaller budded florals. This creates height and interest to each arrangement.

And because this post is talking about incorporation of color… I chose to pick one vivid colored floral to pop a bit in each bouquet. I quickly grabbed a bunch of our peach cottage roses from the front garden!

Even without the bright flowers, these detailed vases would bring such a lovely touch to any tablescape! I love the richness and pattern each vase showcases.

Now onto dishes!

Here you can see this classic set of white dishware from Lenox. It is called the Tin Can Alley Seven Degree and it is a set that can be used for many celebrations, dinner parties and/or brunches to come! I especially love the detail of the ridges around each plate and the profile of the bowl. It is nice and low making it sophisticated for any setting.

Like most any decor, adding accents to the mix makes everything that much more fun! This Lenox Passion Bloom Accent Plate finishes the set in my humble opinion!
