A Vintage inspired table with Nina

Vintage-inspired table settings are making a strong comeback in 2025, blending nostalgia with contemporary style. A standout element in this trend is the use of chequered napkins, such as our very own Swedish cotton vintage chequered napkins. These napkins feature a classic Swedish checkerboard pattern from the 70’s with playful blue or pink edging, adding a touch of whimsy to any dining experience.

To create a cohesive vintage-inspired table setting, consider the following elements:

• Antique China and Glassware: Incorporate mismatched vintage china and glassware to add character and charm. Pieces with delicate floral patterns or bold, colourful designs can evoke a sense of nostalgia.

• Linen Accents: Utilize soft, vintage linens like lace tablecloths or embroidered placemats to enhance the table’s aesthetic. Nina D’s chequered napkins are an excellent choice, offering both style and functionality.

• Natural Elements: Incorporate fresh flowers, greenery, or even vintage-inspired candle holders to add texture and warmth to the setting. These elements can create a welcoming and elegant atmosphere.

• Layered Tableware: Embrace the ‘more-is-more’ approach by layering plates, chargers, and utensils. This technique adds depth and visual interest, making the table setting feel curated and inviting.

By thoughtfully combining these elements, you can achieve a vintage-inspired table setting that is both stylish and functional, perfect for any occasion.
