Table-setting

Table-setting, or tablescaping, is an activity involving the setting of sometimes elaborate dining tables in artful, decorative or themed ways for social events, and in a variety of categories for competitions and exhibitions.

For the arrangement of tableware for serving and eating, see Table setting.

Tablescaping can also refer to any decorative treatment for any flat surface in any room; these are often more permanent installations that will only change with the seasons or with a change of decor in the room.

In the United States and Australia there are formal tablesetting competitions and exhibitions that date back to the 1930s and 1940s.
