"Hi! My name is Isabel Ramirez. I'm from Wesley Chapel, Florida. On behalf of Expert Village, I'm here to show you how to set a dining room table. After you have set your charger plate, you want to place down your dinnerware. You want to make sure that the placement of the dinnerware, your dinner plate, is centered directly over the charger plate. You also want to assure that the dinner plates that you use are smaller in size than the charger plate that you use so that you can enjoy the decorative use of your charger plate. Next, you want to pay attention to the detail of the dinnerware you choose. As you can see here, although I have used a white plate, there is a woven design around the edges of the dinner plate that give it that Thanksgiving feel. When choosing the color of you dinnerware and the style, it's important to try to stick to a neutral. This will help you with your decorating. This way you don't really have to worry too much about matching all of the items on your table. You can just really focus on picking those key decorations that bring life to the dinner table. Although I've used white, I can add extra color later on in the decorating process that I will show you."
