How to lay cutlery on your table

Decorating with cutlery is an art which can take your meal from mediocre to memorable. Yet knowing what cutlery should be used for what occasion and where to put it can be confusing. Together with Hardanger Bestikk we give you our best tips on the right way to use your cutlery, whether you're planning a grand celebration or a relaxed mid-week dinner with the family.

Decorating a table when you have lots of courses that require specific cutlery really can be both an art form and a challenge. Nevertheless, it's also a chance to showcase your personal style and create an inviting atmosphere around the table! There are some fundamental rules to adhere to when laying the cutlery on the table, but remember that it's not the rules themselves that create the warm atmosphere around the table but rather you and your guests. Let your creativity loose and have fun when decorating the table!
