Whitespace: A Mexican Tablescape's Muse
Behold the quiet power of negative space, where the absence of color is the loudest guest.
For this Mexican fiesta tablescape, we use whitespace to isolate and highlight the vibrant colors of a serape table runner.
The magic of negative space allows colors to stand out by creating a visual contrast that emphasizes their vibrancy and hue. This technique draws the viewer's attention to the colored areas, making them appear more vivid against the simplicity of the unoccupied space.

Table Linens
- Start with a white base tablecloth
- Overlay two matching serape runners in a cross pattern
Set the Scene
- Cut a white felt or fabric square to cover the serapes in the center
- Cover display risers for the vases in white paper, fabric, or paint
- Coordinate 3 vase colors with your serapes; most serapes include many colors to choose from
- For multiple tables, alternate cool (purple, blue & green) with warm (pink, orange & yellow) colors at each table
- Another option is to choose a distinct single color for each table
Place Settings
- Alternate napkin ring colors on white napkins at each place setting
- I like to use party bead necklaces because they look elegant as napkin rings
- Then make a festive surprise that guests can wear
Your attention to detail can transform a standard gathering into a standout occasion, as well as enhance your reputation for meticulous planning and flawless execution.
