* The popularity of foods from around the world means meals are far less likely to be brought ready-plated to the table, as in many countries the act of sharing with your fellow diners is integral to a meal. Instead large platters and bowls allow everyone to help themselves, a trend that translates well into contemporary social settings.

* Think of your tabletop in the same way you think of fashion and add colour or texture with dipping bowls, platters and other smaller items.

* Another way to introduce personality is by mixing basics with well-loved, vintage hand-me-downs or flea-market finds.
