January Table Design
Featuring Modern Winter Styling
Winter events often call for a clean, elevated look that feels formal without being overly decorative. This month’s featured A1 Custom Print selections do exactly that by replacing florals with structured patterns, subtle texture, and a controlled mix of matte and shine. The color palette stays intentionally narrow. Black, grey, silver, white, and a touch of gold are all you need. This keeps the table polished and allows the fabrics and prints to stand out under evening lighting. This design story centers around four custom prints, Cube, Gemstone, Marble, and Shattered, that work well for any Winter event.
Why It Works:
Brings structure to the table with a modern geometric pattern. It adds visual interest without high contrast.
Complementary Fabrics:
Velvet Black works well as a basecloth, especially for head tables or feature areas. Its matte finish grounds the prints.
Twill White is ideal for napkins. It is crisp, clean, and photographs well next to metallic or dark elements.
Why It Works:
Has a faceted look that reflects light in a subtle way. It adds depth and pairs easily with both matte and satin fabrics.
Complementary Fabrics:
Velvet Black works well as a basecloth, especially for head tables or feature areas. Its matte finish grounds the prints.
Lamour Matte Satin Silver is a good option for runners or napkins. It softens contrast while keeping a modern feel.
Why It Works:
Clean and timeless. It works as a strong base for both bold accents and softer overlays.
Complementary Fabrics:
Twill White is ideal for napkins. It is crisp, clean, and photographs well next to metallic or dark elements.
Organza Silver adds dimension when used as an overlay. It works especially well layered over Marble White for upscale events.
Why It Works:
The statement print. The gold detail stands out best when used intentionally rather than across the entire table.
Complementary Fabrics:
Velvet Black works well as a basecloth, especially for head tables or feature areas. Its matte finish grounds the prints.
Extreme Crush Gold is best used sparingly. Napkin cuffs, ribbons, or chair accents are enough to echo the gold in Shattered.
