Botanical prints have always belonged around food. Leaves, vegetables and natural forms connect the table to the ingredients on it without needing a literal theme.

A different kind of botanical

The WOLDS Botanical Collection takes its subjects from the kitchen garden: Asparagus, Lettuce, Red Cabbage and Walnut. The illustrations are deliberately paired with deeper, earthier backgrounds so the result feels graphic rather than overly decorative.

How to style botanical napkins

Let the illustration be the detailed element. Plain ceramics, natural wood, clear glass and uncomplicated cutlery give botanical designs room to work. If you want more colour, repeat one background tone rather than introducing several new ones. Our green napkins are a useful place to start for a natural table.

Use them beyond garden parties

Botanical does not have to mean spring. Deep brown, grey and muted green work particularly well in autumn and winter, while vegetable motifs make sense for lunches and dinners throughout the year. Browse vegetable paper napkins or napkins for an autumn table for related designs.

Mixing botanical designs

A mixed table can work especially well because the illustration style provides the connection. Different guests can have different designs while the overall setting still feels coherent.
