Setting the Summer Table with Coral

Kim Seybert

Isn't this wonderful inspiration for setting the summer table? I love coral and turquoise and would definitely use this even for the Fourth of July in lieu of more traditional red, white, and blue. Here are some great ideas for setting your summer table with coral touches including a DIY.

Painted Wicker

Amanda Lindroth

The vast majority of wicker pieces on the market today are natural wicker. I love unpainted wicker, but then I see a piece painted like this, and I love it as well. Here Amanda's wonderful Sloane side table is painted in her signature Nassau blue. This piece is part of her new summer collection.

Blue & White

Meg Braff

 Blue and white with a real island, tropical, beach vibe in this pretty aqua blue featuring palm wallpaper, a faux bamboo lamp, bamboo pens and photo frame, and the iconic Elkins loop chair. Although the loop chair is not a chinoiserie design, I have posted myriad times chinoiserie rooms with a loop chair(s). This design plays so well with chinoiserie. The wallpaper in Meg Braff's Sporting D"Ete in Aqua.

Here is another view of this bedroom with Greek key bedding and a chinoiserie monogram.
