Refresh Your Table with Maxwell & Williams Basics and the Eucalyptus Bloom Collection

Summer is here and our thoughts naturally turn to outdoor gatherings, festive meals and celebrating with friends and family. Hosting a summer get-together means creating an inviting atmosphere that reflects the season's vibrant energy.

You may already have a selection of Maxwell & Williams white basics and other essentials on hand that can be used along with the new Royal Botanic Gardens Eucalyptus Bloom collection to refresh your table with a natural, vibrant aesthetic inspired by Australia’s native flora.

Here is how you can combine your favourite Maxwell & Williams pieces with this stunning new range:

1. Build a Botanical Foundation with Eucalyptus Bloom

The Maxwell & Williams Royal Botanic Gardens Eucalyptus Bloom 12 Piece Dinner Set brings native blooms right to your table. Start your setting with these core pieces to establish a beautiful floral foundation. The intricate hand-painted designs feature eucalyptus-inspired patterns that immediately add colour, depth, and charm to a tablescape.

Finally, let the Eucalyptus Bloom range shine by using the matching serve ware for appetizers, sides, or dessert displays. These serving pieces make a striking statement at the center of the table or as part of a buffet spread, bringing a cohesive look to the entire meal.

2. Add Maxwell & Williams White Basics for Contrast and Versatility

A timeless white dinner plate or serving dish, like those from the Maxwell & Williams White Basics range, provides the perfect backdrop for Eucalyptus Bloom’s intricate botanical designs. By layering plain, elegant white pieces with the floral patterns, you allow the Eucalyptus motifs to pop without overpowering the entire table. This combination is also highly adaptable—use white serving platters, bowls, and mugs for everyday meals, then add the floral set for more festive gatherings. Mixing these pieces gives you the flexibility to create either a more minimalist or more decorative look, depending on the occasion.

3.Complement with Textures

To elevate the entire setting, introduce natural textures and finishes that harmonize with the botanical theme. Think woven placemats, linen napkins, fresh flowers, Eucalyptus branches and wooden serving boards. For instance, place your Eucalyptus Bloom dinner plates on top of a woven rattan charger to enhance the natural, rustic feel of the table. Linen table cloths and napkins bring in a touch of understated elegance, while wooden boards make ideal bases for presenting charcuterie, bread, or dessert. These materials will tie together your mixed dinnerware set with an classy, inviting atmosphere.
