I’m so excited to share one of my favorite tablescapes to date: a Van Gogh White Roses Tablescape inspired by the iconic painting by Vincent Van Gogh. When I discovered these exquisite salad plates on the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s website, I knew I had to design a table around them. There’s something so timeless and calming about Van Gogh’s White Roses—soft whites and greens that feel fresh, elegant, and full of artistic charm. It’s the perfect example of how art-inspired table decor can elevate everyday dining into something extraordinary.
The Place Setting
For the base of this table, I wanted something simple and fresh to let the White Roses salad plates shine. I started with a solid light green dinner plate—it’s subtle, but the soft hue picks up the greens in the artwork and creates a beautiful backdrop. (I bought the dinner plate at HomeGoods years ago so I can’t link them unfortunately but I’ve added some alternative dishes above and at the bottom of the post)
Layered on top are the Van Gogh White Roses salad plates, which serve as the focal point of the place setting. The delicate floral detail feels like a painting brought to life, an instant reminder of how art-inspired table decor can make even a simple meal feel special.
I paired the dishes with neutral white chargers and classic flatware to keep the look timeless. Light ivory colored linen napkins tie in the cream tones of the roses.
The white wooden charger is from Pier1 from years ago and I can’t find a link for it. You could use any wooden charger or this whitewashed wood charger if you like this look.
The Centerpiece
The centerpiece is where this tablescape really comes alive. I wanted to create something lush yet low enough to keep the conversation flowing across the table. Tall arrangements can be beautiful, but I prefer something that allows guests to connect and converse easily.
To create this look, I started with a 5-foot greenery garland as the base. I layered in additional greenery stems to give it more texture and movement. Then came the flowers: off-white roses and creamy peonies mixed with soft filler greenery to mimic the romantic feel of Van Gogh’s painting. This garland-style centerpiece runs the length of the table and brings a natural, organic element that feels both casual and elegant.
All the stems and florals I used for this arrangement are available in my shop, Shop Holly J Home, and I’ve linked the items throughout this post and at the bottom of the post for easy access. The best part? This type of garland centerpiece works for any season—you can add seasonal touches like Easter bunnies in spring or swap in pumpkins for fall, making it a versatile option for any art-inspired table decor.
Finishing Touches
To complete the look, I added a few carefully chosen accessories. Elegant candlesticks with slender taper candles add height and soft lighting without blocking sightlines. I used different shades of green for the taper candles, but you could easily change them seasonally—pastels for spring, deeper tones for fall.
Because this table was designed with Easter in mind, I included a few small bunny figurines, bunny rabbit place-card holders, and spring-inspired accessories, but they’re easily removed if you’d like to use this setting for another occasion or different season. That’s the beauty of versatile art-inspired table decor—by changing just a few pieces, you can adapt it year-round. For Fall you could add in some velvet pumpkins or any type of pumpkin or fall decoration.
The Joy of Tablescaping
For me, tablescaping is about more than pretty dishes and flowers; it’s about creating moments. There’s something so special about gathering around a beautifully set table, sharing food and conversation with the people you love. It’s an art form that brings together color, texture, and personality—and it’s always worth the effort.
I hope this Van Gogh White Roses Tablescape inspires you to bring a little art to your table. Whether it’s for Easter brunch, a spring or summer dinner party, or a cozy fall meal, art-inspired table decor can turn an ordinary evening into a cherished memory. Happy tablescaping and hosting!
