The first thing you need to know about tablescapes is that the phrase is technically one word. Yes, it looks all wrong and spell-check doesn\u2019t dig it. But even if the word itself is kooky, the concept is simply phenomenal.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What They Are<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The art of tablescaping involves the creative and interesting placement of objects and items on a table to make all the guests say, \u201cWow.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Actually, you don\u2019t need guests to have a tablescape. And you don\u2019t even need a table. You can showcase interesting objects and items on a bookshelf, mantle, stereo stand or even an area set aside on the floor, provided you don\u2019t have young children, pets or a Roomba.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Why You Want Them<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Tablescapes have the power to transform any ho-hum setting into an eye-catching point of interest. They can set a mood, showcase a theme, tell a story, make adults coo and make children giggle. They can also serve as an awesome conversation starter when guests who don\u2019t really know each other would otherwise be standing around and staring at their shoes.<\/span><\/p>\n
