The salt and pepper shaker, your best ally at the table

When we have guests over for lunch or dinner at home, we generally like to be on the lookout to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible.

Our goal throughout the evening will be to make sure that everyone has a good time and is comfortable, that they feel at home. That is why we try to make our home as welcoming as possible: tidy rooms, a few candles lit, a well-laid table, and even the book we forgot to put away will give it a touch of life and warmth.

The culmination of this hard work of hosting is trying to anticipate everyone's needs to avoid awkward questions. And that's where our protagonist of today comes in: the salt and pepper shaker.

Asking about salt or pepper can sound a bit offensive to someone who has spent hours preparing a meal or dinner, which is why many people avoid bringing it up or do so in a low voice to avoid being heard by all the diners.

We therefore recommend that you plan ahead and present the table with the salt and pepper shakers directly on the table, almost as if they were part of the furniture. You have many options for beautiful salt and pepper shakers that also serve as decorative objects and, if someone wants to use them, they will not hesitate to secretly extend their hand without interrupting any conversation.

We offer you some colorful and very decorative options that will give light, color - and a pinch of salt! - to any table.
