How to Create a Luxurious Dining Experience at Home

The end of the year is an occasion for people to spend time with relatives, friends, and colleagues. Every year, such a gathering typically takes place in a large-scale restaurant with family. However, due to the impact of the epidemic, this year I am considering organizing it at home for a more cozy and safe experience.

With the right arrangement and choice of decorative details, a meal at home can be just as romantic and luxurious as dining in a high-end restaurant.

Personally, I always pay attention to the presentation and decoration of the food, whether it’s a home-cooked meal or takeout. I have drawn some tips from my own experience when hosting a party at home.

Tips for arranging a luxurious dining table at home

Here are a few tips for setting up the dining table:

1. Choose a dining table style

For this year-end party with my family, I decided to go with a blue color scheme. I used blue napkins and dishes to maintain a cohesive look, avoiding the use of other colors that could make the dining table appear cluttered. Alternatively, you can go with red tones to match the Lunar New Year theme.

2. Fresh flowers

Fresh flowers are essential for adding life to your dining space and creating a vibrant atmosphere for your guests. Opt for flowers with a gentle scent to enhance the freshness and relaxation of the space. Choose colors that complement the theme, but avoid using too many different colors to maintain a cohesive look.

3. Uniform dishes

High-end restaurants often use dishes with similar materials, colors, and textures to create an aesthetically pleasing and organized look. For my own setup, I selected plates and bowls of various sizes made of ceramic and porcelain with blue textures and a white background. I also emphasized the cutlery, such as knives and metal spoons, and kept the napkins simple.

4. Tablecloths

Tablecloths play an important role in creating a luxurious dining space. I chose beige tablecloths made of plain, rustic materials to enhance the presentation of the dishes, plates, and food.

5. Candles

Adding a few candles can make the party atmosphere more enchanting, especially for dinner gatherings. There are various beautiful combinations of candles and flowers available in the market that you can consider.

6. Food decoration

When it comes to food, consider the preferences and tastes of your guests. Regardless of the dish choice, make sure they are clean and neatly presented. You can garnish and decorate the dishes to make them more visually appealing and exciting for your guests. If you’re short on time, you can also order pre-prepared dishes and arrange them nicely on a plate. I opted for a meal for 3-4 people with a price range of 400,000-600,000 VND, which is affordable yet delicious and impressive.

Lastly, don’t forget to pair your home-cooked meal with a good wine to make the dining experience even more perfect.
