Celebrating spring in style

Fresh trends for festive tables

2 Feb 2026

From Easter to Mother’s Day, spring offers many occasions to celebrate. We gather around beautifully laid tables, which are transformed into festive spring settings with tableware and linens in light colours and carefully selected decorative accessories. A themed in-store presentation creates a feel-good shopping atmosphere and promises refreshingly strong spring sales.

Soft colours take their place at the table

Whether it's a large family celebration or a cosy brunch with loved ones, the focus is always on the lovingly decorated festive table. In spring, light and delicate colours dominate, continuing the ‘pastel’ living trend. Combined with gold-coloured cutlery, candles and colour-coordinated flowers, even everyday tableware takes on a festive mood.

“Raw” by Aida

A natural look combined with clean design and Nordic nuances: the “Raw” tableware by Aida is the perfect basic for a versatile table setting. “Raw” looks particularly elegant in Sandy Beige when paired with the matching gold-coloured “Raw” cutlery.

“Mix & Match” by Räder

A good meal is more than the sum of its ingredients. Räder translates this idea into table decoration with its “Mix & Match” collection. Cups and plates in various designs can be rearranged again and again with decorative accessories such as candlesticks.

“Everyday Alice” by Greengate

“Everyday Alice” by Greengate has been hugely popular for ten years. From casual to festive – thanks to its wide product range and ever-growing choice of colours, the stoneware series with its characteristic ribbed design adapts effortlessly to any style.

Yellow – the colour of spring

Many spring flowers such as daffodils, tulips and primroses bloom in yellow. Inspired by nature, this shade gives every table a soft, modern touch that invites us to enjoy life. Yellow symbolises joie de vivre, optimism and lightness. On top of that, this feel-good colour in all its shades is the perfect match for Pantone’s Color of the Year 2026, Cloud Dancer.

Pip Studio’s motto is: “Happy products for happy people”. This is reflected in its products, which are created with great attention to detail and enrich everyday life with unusual designs. Traditional yet original – Pip Studio products always reveal small, delightful surprises. In radiant yellow, the popular “Lily & Lotus Collection” invites us to celebrate life this spring.

Table linen turns a table into a banquet

Table linen is the foundation of every table setting and plays a decisive role in creating atmosphere. The festive spring table favours fine materials such as linen and damask, soft colours and fresh floral designs. Table runners add structure and create decorative accents, while matching textile napkins underline the festive occasion.

“Grace” by Winkler

Sustainability and naturalness are at the heart of “Grace” by Winkler. The linen-look table linen is made from recycled cotton and is available in many trendy colours. The Winkler brand belongs to the French home textiles specialist Maison Vivaraise.

“Lara” by LinenMe

In no time at all, the high-quality linen tablecloths by LinenMe transform the table into a festive setting. “Lara” in subtle cream provides the ideal backdrop for any tableware and creates a calm atmosphere. The linen is easy to care for and machine washable.

“Bettys Tulipaner” by Ekelund

The spring collection by Ekelund features cheerful floral patterns. The “Bettys Tulipaner” design also reflects the awakening of nature in fresh colours. The table runner is an elegant alternative to a full tablecloth and can be used in a variety of ways.

Small accessories, big impact

You don’t need much for a varied table decoration: with a little imagination and carefully chosen decorative accessories, the table can be reinvented time and again. Grouped arrangements of small vases or candle holders create eye-catching highlights, while coloured drinking glasses or unusual napkin rings add surprise and spark conversation among guests.

“Boston” by Villeroy & Boch

With their all-over diamond-cut design, the glasses of the “Boston” series by Villeroy & Boch add sparkling accents of colour. They become a stylish table decoration in the “Pearl” colour variant, whose iridescent effect makes the crystal glass seem to glow.

Napkin rings by Wildlife Garden

The hand-carved and lovingly hand-painted napkin rings by Wildlife Garden are real eye-catchers. In typical Scandinavian style, they combine nature and craftsmanship. There is a choice of different bird and animal motifs such as squirrels or hedgehogs.

“Lumi” by Born in Sweden

“Lumi” is the coloured glass series by Born in Sweden, available in two versions – for tealights and for standard candles. Offered in six colours and clear glass, the candle holders provide variety. Arranged as a group, they become the centrepiece of the table.
