Organize an elegant spring table with flamingo style

With the return of spring, the desire for freshness, light, and convivial moments resurfaces. It's the ideal season to welcome family and friends around a good meal in a soft and elegant atmosphere. If you like flamingo style, you have all the keys to create a refined spring table, both natural, warm and full of charm.

The Flemish style is distinguished by its timeless elegance, its noble materials, its soothing colors and an aesthetic that subtly blends tradition and modernity. It's perfectly suited to this time of year when nature comes back to life and we seek to bring more lightness into the home. Here are all our tips for organizing a spring table in the flamingo spirit, simple, chic, and welcoming.

Focus on a soft and natural palette

The basis of a beautiful Flemish table is a harmony of sober and luminous colors. We forget the overly bright shades and we favor a nature-inspired palette, both fresh and elegant.

Colors to favor:

Off-white, linen, ecru : neutral shades that bring light.
Sand beige, pearl gray, light taupe : perfect for gentle structuring.
Sage green, pale blue or powder pink : for a subtle and refined spring touch.

💡 Decorating tip: Use these shades in touches on napkins, flowers, candles, or tableware. There's no need to overdo it: two or three well-chosen shades are enough to create a harmonious ambiance.

Choose a tablecloth or table runner made from natural materials

In the Flemish style, textiles play a key roleThey add texture while remaining understated and discreet. For spring, the idea is to keep a light and natural base.

Which subjects to choose?

Washed linen : crumpled, supple, elegant, it is ideal for a tablecloth or a table runner.
Natural cotton : simple and soft, it adapts easily.
Fine jute or hemp : perfect for a more rustic and textured touch.

You can opt for a plain tablecloth in a light tone, or choose one table runner centered, with the exposed wood table for a more natural feel.

💡 Decorating tip: If your table is made of weathered or bleached wood, leave it partially visible to enhance the natural and authentic effect.

Favor simple, artisanal tableware

The Flemish style values thecraftsmanship, simplicity and authenticity. The dishes must therefore be elegant but not excessive, with a preference for raw materials and matte finishes.

The essential pieces:

Ceramic or stoneware plates, with slightly irregular shapes.
Clear or lightly tinted glasses, with a sober design.
Brushed stainless steel or black metal cutlery, depending on the general tone of your decoration.
Small side plates or bowls, for bread, starters or desserts.

💡 Decorating tip: If you mix old and modern pieces, make sure to maintain consistency in the colors so as not to disrupt the visual balance.

Integrate plant elements for a spring touch

Spring is here the ideal season to put nature in the spotlight on your table. Seasonal flowers, light foliage or dried bouquets are all ways tobring life and freshness, respecting the Flemish aesthetic.

Flowers and plants to favor:

Tulips, peonies, ranunculus : for their softness and pastel colors.
Eucalyptus, olive or lavender : for a more Mediterranean touch.
Dried flowers like gypsophila or grasses: very trendy and durable.

Arrange the flowers in a vase in matte ceramic, stoneware or blown glass, in the center of the table or in small vases distributed among the cutlery.

💡 Decorating tip: Choose a low arrangement so as not to obstruct the view between guests. A small bouquet in a simple pot can be as charming as a large centerpiece.

Add discreet but refined accessories

To give character to your table, think about a few well-chosen objects, always in natural materials and simple shapes.

Some ideas:

Tea lights or thin candles, in glass or ceramic tealight holders.
Coasters made of rush or rattan, to structure the places naturally.
A handwritten menu on textured paper, placed on the plate or next to it.
Cloth napkins tied with a sprig of thyme or a dried flower, for a poetic effect.

💡 Decorating tip: Limit yourself to one or two decorative accessories per person to avoid cluttering the table.

Create a bright and warm atmosphere

Even in broad daylight, light contributes to the general atmosphere. For a spring lunch or dinner, consider add some soft light sources to prolong the warm effect of the flamingo style.

To be expected:

Natural candles with vegetable wax, for subdued lighting.
LED light garland, if you are outdoors or in the evening.
Small table lamp to place nearby, if the room lacks natural light.

💡 Decorating tip: Avoid lighting that's too white or too bright. Warm lighting (2700K) will better highlight the natural materials and colors in your decor.

Think about the external environment

If you're hosting a meal on a terrace or balcony, the ambiance of the venue is just as important as the table. In the Flemish spirit, the outdoors should remain simple, green and welcoming.

Add:

Of the potted plants around the dining area.
A natural fiber outdoor rugs under the table.
Of the linen or cotton cushions on the seats for more comfort.
A ruffled linen tablecloth for more lightness in the wind.
