A dramatic black table setting is perfect for Halloween but can even work for a wedding or Christmas. Here you see a place setting with black taped candles and black plates from Broste Copenhagen.

1. PORCELAIN FOR A DRAMATIC BLACK TABLE SETTING

The Nordic Coal plate from Broste Copenhagen has an intense black tone and allows you to create a more rustic place setting for your unique dinner party. You could choose to combine the black plates with a grey side plate or even something off-white for a more dynamic table setting.

Serve coffee or mulled wine in a black favourite from Stelton.

Warm drinks piping hot and serve them in style with the EM77 thermos from Stelton - a true black favourite.

2. EM77 - PERFECT FOR COFFEE AT THE END OF THE PARTY

The timeless EM77 thermos from Stelton in this gorgeous shade of black adds drama to your table setting while keeping your coffee or mulled wine (depending on the occasion) hot until your guests arrive. Perfect for a seasonal party.

Here you see the Cooee Design Ball vase in black on a black table setting, ideal for halloween or even a unique wedding.

3. BALL VASE - MODERN BLACK FAVOURITE FROM COOEE DESIGN

Beautiful fresh flowers and greenery always bring a little extra to the table setting and provide a little extra contrast. The Ball vase from Cooee Design has a tactile, matte black surface that and its round shape brings a softness to the table. Let nature's greenery take up residence in this cute vase and add some colour to your black table setting.

Here you see the Cooee Design candle holder and the Esther & Eric black candles on a black table setting.

Candles and candle holders set the atmosphere on any table setting.

4. BLACK CANDLE HOLDERS

Candles are perfect mood enhancers for any table setting and a black design makes it extra special. The Cooee Design candle holder and the Granny candle holder from Northern have been combined here for a dramatic effect with the candle holders all standing at different heights. We have combined them with black candles from Ester & Erik for a sleek, black monochrome look.

5. THE ELFLUGAN - A CLASSIC IN BLACK

Finally, the last black favourite on the list may be an unusual choice for a table setting: the Elflugan. We're used to seeing this timeless electric candle holder on the windowsill at Christmas, but why not try placing it in the centre of your table setting at any other time of the year? Evocative and out of the ordinary...
