How to Style Your Table with Rond de Serviette Globe (6 Steps)

Quick Answer

Use a rond de serviette Globe to add a natural, textured accent to your table. Simply slide a folded cloth napkin through the raphia ring and place it on your dinner plate.

How to Set a Table with a Rond de Serviette Globe

1. 1. Choose Your Napkin: Select a cloth napkin that complements your table setting. Cotton or linen napkins work best because they hold a fold well. Avoid paper napkins; they tear easily and don't hold their shape inside the ring.
2. 2. Fold the Napkin into a Rectangle: Fold the napkin in half, then in half again to form a long rectangle. This creates a clean, uniform shape that slides easily through the ring. For a fancier look, fold the napkin into a triangle first, then roll it into a cylinder.
3. 3. Slide the Rond de Serviette Globe Over the Napkin: Open the raphia ring gently and slide it about one-third of the way up from the bottom of the folded napkin. The ring should sit snugly without slipping. Don't force the ring; raphia is natural and may crack if stretched too far.
4. 4. Center the Ring on the Napkin: Adjust the ring so it sits evenly on the napkin. The fold lines should be straight, and the ring should be parallel to the table. A lopsided ring can make your table setting look messy.
5. 5. Place the Napkin on the Dinner Plate: Set the napkin with the ring on the center of your dinner plate. The ring should face upward, with the napkin ends pointing toward the chair. If you're using a charger plate, place the napkin on the charger instead.
6. 6. Arrange Other Table Elements: Position your glassware and flatware around the plate. Keep the napkin ring as the focal point by avoiding clutter near the center of the plate. Overcrowding the plate can hide the ring's decorative effect.
