All set: Impress your Easter guests with experimental table settings

What a Catch Sea Life Collection is Sophie Allport's new range of table linens in pale blue with sea creature motifs. It's perfect for casual entertaining both indoors and outdoors (set of four placemats €33.50, set of four napkins €18 from www.sophieallport.com).

Making the dining table the focus of gatherings this weekend is an opportunity to experiment with fresh new styling looks and to utilise tablewares in a variety of new ways, writes Carol O’Callaghan
