Date set, friends free, you have that new recipe you wanted to try and a vision of a get-together to remember...what next? Your elegantly thrown together tablescape of course!

Kids and mealtimes are like walking a tightrope. To make it that little bit easier, the Maxwell & Williams team share their easy recipes ideas for busy weeknights with kids. These quick meals pair perfectly with our new children’s dinner sets from our Australian artist collaborators, Pete Cromer and Sally Howell.

We love seeing our collections come to life in your homes, and our friend Geneva Vanderzeil always creates an incredible tablescape.
