There’s something magical about yellow—it’s the colour of sunshine, joy, and everything summer! Creating a yellow tablescape for your summer dinner party instantly sets a cheerful and inviting tone. Whether you’re hosting outdoors under twinkling string lights or bringing the sunshine indoors, yellow brings warmth, energy, and a touch of whimsy to your table.

#9 – Blue and White Pottery
This is perfect if you have antique Flow Blue Pieces. You can find them in thrift stores, flea markets, and yard sales. Look-alikes are also a good option and are available in lightweight plastic for hanging.
#10 Add another Bold Colour
Blue is a perfect complementary colour for a yellow tablescape. Add a little or a lot.
#11 Go Nautical
Add a nautical look with a coastal-style tablecloth. Add a runner and some yellow dishware, and you have a beautiful seaside look.
#12 Sunny Sunflowers
Pretty sunflowers are always in style. Add some real (or silk) sunflowers and sunflower dishware, and you have a beautiful end-of-summer look.
#13 Fresh and Lemony
This is a great way to create a budget-friendly yellow tablescape. Purchase fresh lemons, cut slices, wedges and leave some whole, and add them to a tall clear vase. Cover them with some water to keep them fresh-looking.
#14 Sunny Yellow Tablescape
Set the room in yellow plaid with curtains and a matching tablecloth. Finish off the look with yellow tableware and napkins
#15 Yellow Candles set the Mood
For an evening dinner party, set off your yellow tablescape with some pretty yellow taper candles to match the yellow dinnerware.
#16 Yellow Boho Style
For a Hippie Chic look, swap out a light fixture for a modern retro chic light. Add yellow paint to thrift store rattan chairs and use natural elements in the dining room.
