Design details: how to create a tablescape
Tablescapes are a good way to show off your favourite collections and add a new point of interest to a room. Homes & Gardens show you how to create tablescapes that are both stylish and practical. For more design ideas, visit housetohome.co.uk
White ceramics and neatly stacked books, some of which reflect the room's colour scheme, offer a point of interest.
