I recently ordered some beautiful African inspired placemats from the amazing Black Puppy Design. I was really excited when I received them and decided to create an African Inspired table setting for dinner that night. The placemats are “Afro Art” inspired – I ordered three placemats featuring the glorious Protea and three featuring Zebra hide – as I said true African Inspiration.

With the help of these beautiful placemats the overall effect I created was one of colonial elegance. The colour palette consisted of dark wood, deep rich amber, balanced with the monotone coolness of the placemats – awesome! All these glorious African colours, offset by vibrant yellow and greens from the lemons - used as a centre piece.

I had such fun doing this - I love entertaining and table décor should be inspired and allow your creativity to flow! Check out Black Puppy Design to see more of their great products and be inspired!
