There are various ways to fold a napkin, but no matter what method you choose, the napkin should be placed on the entrée plate instead of under the silverware. Easy way to elevate your table is by adding linen - a luxurious timeless fabric, that not only bring the feeling of home to your guests, but also be a functional piece of your setting.
