On The Hunt: Spring Table Linens

Colorful and graphic table linens are a must this spring.

Spring is finally here and the sunny summer months don't seem so far off any more. But let's try to entice them to arrive quicker, shall we? Set your table for an early spring feast (head to your local farmers market!) with bright, vibrant linens that'll make your interior feel sunny -- no matter how many April showers are still in store.

Here's just a simple sampling of some of the beautifully colorful and graphic linens waiting to spruce up your table for the season.

Go Caribbean
With prints are inspired by many things, from banisters overlooking the Caribbean to gates leading into flowering gardens, Hammocks & High Tea's selection of colorful linens definitely won't bore any dinner guests. Plus, they're made from 100 percent organic cotton, so you're making a conscientious choice too.

Enter the Hen House
Hen House Linens' new colors for spring are suitable for multiple moods -- deep elegant blue or playful springy pink. Don't fit your fancy? Their previous collections cover the spectrum of colorful prints -- all in bold graphic patterns. For stores in your area that carry Hen House Linens, check out their store locator.

Patterns from top to bottom, left to right: Fleur-de-Lis in China Blue; Scrolling Pink, Lime and Lemon; Fleur-de-Lis Basil; Coral Coral; Prepster Stripe Ocean; and Spot on Raspberry. Prices: cocktail napkins (set of six), $25; dinner napkins, $7.50; placemats, $7.50; table runner, $20; tablecloths, $45 to $72.50.

Splurge Worthy
John Robshaw's hand-blocked prints fall on the high end of the cost spectrum – but they're well worth the price, if you have the money to spend. The colorful, graphic prints work in the modern home, but their Indian-inspired painterly aesthetics create a timely elegance that's sure to always be a stylish addition to your table.

Patterns from top to bottom: Lychee, Cicada, Nicosia, Rosado and Saragossa. Prices: napkins (set of 4), $95, placemats, $35 each; tablecloths, $100-$160.

Opt for Organic
The table linens from Plover Organic prove that going green is far from bland. The current collection of table linens -- place mats, napkins, table runners and two sizes of table cloths – has a pretty, unexpected colorway of turquoise and olive, a refreshing combo for spring.

Patterns clockwise from top left: Vine, Teal Squares, Olive Dots and Cartouche. Prices: placemat, $26, napkin, $13; table runner, $77; tablecloths, $88-$110.

Budget-Friendly
One of the best things to happen to price-savvy design lovers was when DwellStudio developed a line for Target. That line has expanded into more modern prints for the tabletop.
