Summer Table Setting Ideas with Clic

Long days, warm nights, and good company that’s what summer dining is all about. Whether it’s a long, leisurely lunch outdoors or an evening dinner with the windows wide open, every meal feels a bit more elevated this time of year. At Clic, we believe tabletop decor is more than just functional, it’s an extension of your style, a celebration of the season, and an invitation to slow down and savor.

 

We’ve curated some of our favorite tabletop pieces to inspire your summer tablescape, from statement plates to artisan glassware and French linens.

The foundation of any great tablescape starts with texture, and Deborah Rhodes placemats and coasters set the tone perfectly. Known for her signature braided designs and wide range of sun-washed colors, her pieces are elegant, durable, and made for summer. Their Round Placemat in Denim and the Ikat Coaster Set of 4 in Jade bring a soft structure to the table whether you're dining inside or out and they work seamlessly with everything from formal flatware to casual ceramics. Think of them as your secret weapon when you're figuring out how to create a beautiful tablescape.

 

No summer dining table decor is complete without great silverware. Enter Claude Dozorme, a French heritage brand known for precision and craftsmanship dating back to 1902. Their flatware adds just the right amount of shine to the table classic, clean, and timeless. It's the kind of quality that elevates any setting, whether you're serving fresh oysters on the patio or a strawberry shortcake straight from the oven. The Two Piece Serving Set in Natural to offset the blues from Deborah Rhodes. 

 

Summer calls for refreshing drinks: rosé, sparkling water, fresh-squeezed lemonade  and you’ll want a glass that brings some personality to the party. Minizoo glasses are a Clic favorite for just that reason. Hand-blown and full of charm, these glasses come in playful shapes and unexpected color combinations. We suggest the lemonade in their gorgeous lemon glass, and then add whichever ones you decide. We think the Butterfly, Crab and Lady Bug glasses are perfect for summer! They’re conversation starters in their own right and the perfect addition to any beach table decoration ideas you’re dreaming up.

 

We love a layered look when it comes to plates and bowls. For a more playful take, Davistudio offers vibrant, hand-painted ceramics that bring an artful edge to your summer table setting ideas. Each piece feels like a little work of art, with bold color pairings and painterly details that don’t take themselves too seriously. From their Dinner Plate in Yellow, to the Pasta Plate in Blue there's never a dull moment with Davistudio

 

Looking for something more neutral and grounding? Standard Affair plates and bowls are minimal and versatile with soft curves and muted tones. Mix them with brighter pieces or keep things monochrome and calm; they play well in any setting.

We love the addition of TRP Charvet linen napkins. Woven in France using traditional methods passed down through generations, these napkins embody the quiet luxury of well-made things. Their subtle stripes, washed tones, and natural textures add just the right touch of softness and sophistication. Perfect for everyday meals or more polished gatherings, they age beautifully and bring a sense of casual refinement to the table. Their Bon Appetit Towel in Linen White says it all, you’re about to have an amazing meal. 

 

Every great table has a focal point. If you’re wondering what makes for the perfect summer table centerpiece, we suggest a vase from Gemma Orkin. Handmade in South Africa, her pieces are whimsical, sculptural, and just the right size to hold a few wildflowers or garden clippings. They anchor the table without overwhelming it, ideal for casual dinners or spontaneous lunches outdoors. The Medium Flower Vase in Green or The Large Flower Vase in White are hand painted and so alluring you might not even want to put flowers in them.

 

Think of a tablescape as a curated snapshot of your style. It’s more than just plates and napkins, it's how everything comes together to tell a story. Summer is the perfect season to embrace it: mix textures, layer colors, add a floral table centerpiece, and don’t be afraid to play. These pieces are meant to be used, enjoyed, and admired.

 

At Clic, we believe every table no matter how big or small deserves a little extra love this season. So pour the wine, light a candle, and set the table with care.

 

Summer's here. Make it beautiful.
