Proper Arrangement of Silverware in your Rental Apartment in Gainesville, Florida

If you want to impress the guests at your dinner party, every detail must be considered. Between preparing the food, cleaning the apartment, and inviting all the guests, setting the table is often overlooked. This results in hastily throwing plates and silverware on the table minutes before company arrives, a sloppy solution at best. There is a proper, standard silverware set-up you can follow to give your dinner a fine, restaurant-quality presentation.

If you’re serving a full menu in your rental apartment in Gainesville, Florida, you should arrange the silverware in the order the food will be eaten, starting outside and working in toward the plate. For example, the salad fork should be to the farthest left, with the dinner fork next to it on the right and the dessert fork closest to the plate. On the right side of the plate, the knife should be closest, followed directly by a small spoon and then a soup spoon. The plate should be in the center with a salad or soup bowl on top of it.

As for glassware, a coffee cup should be placed at the top right of the dinner plate, with both a water and wine glass behind it. Following this set up will help give your apartment the feel of a five-star restaurant.
