How To Romanticize Everyday Meals

 

In our busy lives, we can become so focused on "fast and simple" that the idea of setting a lovely table seems too much to bother. It's best to save our nicest tableware and decor for holidays, birthdays, and special gatherings, this is the antiquated advice we’ve either been given or have heard from others, But what if we shifted our mindset and started to romanticize everyday meals?, to put in a little effort to beautify our routine experiences?

I started to think about this over the weekend as I was preparing a little meal for our "dating anniversary" (yes, we acknowledge this special moment in our lives). As I was about to set the plates down, it dawned on me that just because I didn't "plan" a grand meal didn't mean I couldn't use my nice placemats, freshly picked roses, candle holders, and linen napkins to make our simple dinner so much nicer. It made me question why we are so set in our boundaries of only using our nice things or putting in extra effort for "special occasions." It really makes no sense if you think about it. I have set an intention to treat every day as a special occasion, and our table settings can reflect that. They can be as fancy and layered as you feel like!, it is actually a form of creative expression, and you are the artist of your meal.

Transform Your Daily Dining Experience

I wanted to share some tips on how jeuje up your simple meals and set a table that inspires, delights and shares love. Here's how you can transform your daily dining experience into a moment of beauty and connection with your loved ones.

The Power of a Beautiful Table Setting

A thoughtfully set table does more than just serve as a backdrop for your meals. It sets the tone for your day, bringing a sense of beauty and joy to your routine. If you have the essentials setting a lovely table takes but a handful of minutes! Using your finest ceramics, elegant glassware, and soft linens can turn even a simple breakfast into a delightful everyday experience and start enjoying your beloved things as they were really meant to - always!

Linens & Placemats

Having at least one set of placemats and a tablecloth instantly elevates your table!, Fabric napkins add the extra touch of luxury; I personally prefer 100% Cotton or 100% Linen, I do have to steam them, but I just adore their texture and natural fibers but if you prefer a less wrinkly option, polyester blends offer that for you. Start with the basics and then as you fall in love with your table settings you can indulge with a few other options.

Beautiful Dinnerware

Keep one set of dinnerware that is both beautiful and practical, and use it daily for all occasions, big or small. Not only does it save storage space, but it also makes you enjoy your "special" dishes during every meal! In my journey to simplify my life and surround myself and my family with beautiful and functional things, I gave away my old "fancy" gold-rimmed dinnerware and my everyday chipped store black dishes from forever ago. I invested in a 14-piece set of handmade lace stoneware. They add the perfect texture and tactile details that I love, and being white, they look clean on my white exposed kitchen shelves. Oh, and they’re dishwasher safe! I may love to cook, but doing dishes isn't my favorite activity.

Glassware

Upgrade your drink from a sad can or plastic bottle and serve it in your glassware. It takes but a second and makes the table and your experience so much lovelier!

Incorporate Natural Elements

My favorite thing to do is add a touch of nature with fresh flowers, greenery, or seasonal fruits. A simple sprig of rosemary or a few blooms in a petite vase can add a pop of color and a fresh scent to your table.

Setting the Mood

Creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere is key to romanticizing your meals. Here are some ideas to set the mood:

Soft Lighting

Use candles to create a warm and intimate ambiance. The soft glow can make any meal feel extra special.

I hope you start taking a little time to infuse your meals with little details and lots of love!, by incorporating these tips you can transform your everyday dining experience into a special occasion. Remember, every meal can be an opportunity to connect with loved ones and enjoy the beauty of your surroundings and what is more important than that?!
