17. The Driftwood & Candle Light

Simple, effective, and works in any season. It creates a serene, Zen-like atmosphere.

  • How to create it: Use a long, bleached driftwood piece as the anchor. Surround it with varying heights of pillar candles on white plates or glass saucers. Keep everything else very minimal—neutral linens and simple glassware.
  • Ingredients: Bleached driftwood, pillar candles of varying heights, white ceramic plates, neutral linen tablecloth.
