Napkin Details: With Projects and Instructions for Folding Napkins

No dinner setting is complete without the correct napkin-you might say it is the icing on the cake. Napkin Details covers the history of the napkin, as well as the myriad colors, designs and options aside from the classic white. Using a variety of these napkin options, Margaret Caselton instructs on folds, placement and so many methods of decoration that your table need never look the same way twice. Beautiful photographs by David Lotus illustrate each fold and setting.

From large French napkins and delicate cocktail napkins to brightly patterned modern designs, there are napkins for every style of table setting. Using examples from the vast range of napkins available - in different sizes, colors and fabrics - Margaret Caselton presents a wealth of inspiring ideas. Classic Types covers the range of styles available and includes instruction for monogramming napkins. The Themes section has hundreds of suggestions for table settings using plain colors, white-on-white, checks and stripes, fusion and floral designs. Folding Napkins has detailed and easy-to-follow instructions for different types of folds, and in Decorating Napkins there are ideas for using napkins in more unusual ways.
