PERSONAL TOUCH

Nikki Greengrass is the founder of the craft and design brand Rosie Dalia

Nikki, how do you build an Easter tablescape that feels cohesive?
“Start with a single thread – perhaps a colour, a textile or a personal story – and allow the rest of the setting to unfold around it, rather than leaning into novelty motifs.”

Which colours feel both classic and contemporary for Easter tables?
“The most timeless Easter palettes draw on soft chalky pastels, fresh greens and warm neutrals, and they feel modern when you layer artisanal ceramics and elegant printed textiles on the table.”

What are the trends in spring entertaining that you’re noticing this year?
“This year, spring entertaining feels more considered and craft-led, with gathered tables, hand-finished linens, sculptural candles and an emphasis on meaningful and storied pieces.”

Which simple details elevate a relaxed Easter gathering?
“Attention to detail – for example, handwritten place cards, tactile linens, warm candlelight and the feeling that every element has been chosen with care.”
