Our favourite accounts to follow for tablescaping inspiration

It’s hosting season.

Though sitting at a wine bar for a long lunch will always be appealing, there’s someting to be said about the power of an at-home dinner party. Whether its gathering around someone’s cramped sharehouse kitchen or reclining in a leafy garden, sipping on a DIY aperol and eating someone’s botched focaccia is an exercise in bonding. The table is yours for as long as you wish.

Interested to hear how others navigate the world? Head to our Life section.

If, like us, you feel that the key to nailing a good friendsmas dinner party is not necessarily in the food itself but in the presentation, then we’ve got you covered. We’ve curated a list of our favourite food-adjacent Instagram accounts, with feeds full of inspiration as far as the eyes can see.
