Daniel, who describes himself as a \u2018modern-day butler\u2019, tells MailOnline Travel: \u2018Whatever makes your guests gasp [or] comment&#8230; is a perfectly set table, in any format. If your guests have had a good time and enjoyed the table, then it was a perfectly set table.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/19\/15\/75592675-12535615-Daniel_has_been_a_full_time_butler_since_2009_and_works_for_a_va-a-4_1695133265321.jpg\" height=\"567\" width=\"633\"><\/p>\n<p>Daniel has been a full-time butler since 2009 and works for a variety of ultra-high-net-worth individuals in luxurious villas and estates around the world for several weeks at a time<\/p>\n<p>Successful table settings can be formal or more relaxed, depending on the occasion, the Devon native explains.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Some of Daniel\u2019s clients \u2018100 per cent insist\u2019 that he lays the table according to what&#8217;s known as the &#8216;butler&#8217;s rule&#8217;, which means that \u2018every placemat, napkin, glass is the same distance and every place setting is a mirror image of all the rest\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>However, that\u2019s not the case for every wealthy client. Some \u2018just want the table to look cosy and inviting\u2019, he says.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The most common request, he finds, is for a \u2018relaxed formal\u2019 table. Daniel says: &#8216;This still means attention to detail is high and the level of service is flawless but it\u2019s just done in a more familial, friendly manner.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><span>Regardless of the occasion, something it&#8217;s important to get right, he notes, is glassware. He says: \u2018If you are using multiple glasses, you want them in order &#8211; water as the first glass, then each glass for each course wine pairing followed by dessert wine then port.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p>He also recommends that you get creative with your arrangement. Daniel says: \u2018Make it festive, make it colourful, use your best china and napkins.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/20\/09\/75629831-12535615-Successful_table_settings_can_be_formal_or_more_relaxed_dependin-m-35_1695197461516.jpg\" height=\"771\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Successful table settings can be formal or more relaxed, depending on the occasion, Daniel explains<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/20\/09\/75629829-12535615-Daniel_occasionally_shares_videos_on_TikTok_of_the_stunning_tabl-a-14_1695197031420.jpg\" height=\"382\" width=\"305\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/20\/09\/75629847-12535615-One_video_that_Daniel_shared_on_TikTok_showing_off_his_beautiful-a-15_1695197033253.jpg\" height=\"382\" width=\"305\"><\/p>\n<p>Daniel occasionally shares videos on TikTok of the stunning tablescapes he has curated on the job, and they\u2019ve proven a hit.\u00a0One video that Daniel shared on TikTok, showing off his beautiful table arrangements, has racked up more than one million views<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/19\/15\/75592687-12535615-image-a-16_1695133305486.jpg\" height=\"845\" width=\"633\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/19\/15\/75592685-12535615-image-a-7_1695133273717.jpg\" height=\"650\" width=\"633\"><\/p>\n<p>The two images above show an \u2018edible centrepiece\u2019 created by Dan.

He says: &#8216;A personal preference is to keep napkins simple. I don\u2019t like them in glasses or folded into a waterlily.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I like them ironed, folded perfectly sideways so they are long and can drape off the plate or mat below the table with a simple flower, cut lavender or name card [placed] on them.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>And when it comes to adding final flourishes, there are many simple &#8211; and affordable &#8211; things you can do at home, Daniel reveals.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Daniel says: \u2018Definitely use what you have, go into your garden if you have one and see what you can bring in.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It does not always have to be floral. I cut whole branches of trees and bushes and then stuff them with tomatoes or lemons and limes and use that as the centrepiece table runner.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>He recalls: \u2018I once had to set a table for a black-and-white theme and I had so much fun with that. I used black sea salt and put black dye in the flower water, which, during the night, turned the white roses in the table vases black.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/20\/16\/75595051-12535615-_Whatever_makes_your_guests_gasp_or_comment_is_a_perfectly_set_t-m-48_1695223814461.jpg\" height=\"664\" width=\"633\"><\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Whatever makes your guests gasp [or] comment&#8230; is a perfectly set table,&#8217; Daniel says\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/20\/09\/75629855-12535615-image-a-22_1695197077419.jpg\" height=\"306\" width=\"306\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/20\/09\/75629849-12535615-image-a-23_1695197080903.jpg\" height=\"306\" width=\"306\"><\/p>\n<p>Daniel recommends using fresh flowers from your garden to decorate the table.

Daniel says: \u2018You want everybody to be able to have eye contact with each other so don\u2019t have a centrepiece, [such as] flowers or candles, that will block that.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Establishing the arrangement of the seating is another important part of the process.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Failing to leave enough elbow room or leg room between guests is a common mistake, he says, explaining: \u2018Guests being comfortable is so important, so sit in all [of] the chairs to see what the space is like around them and check that it\u2019s not too cramped.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>On top of that, Daniel says that failing to pay careful attention to the seating plan is a major \u2018no-no\u2019. He advises putting strangers together, avoiding putting two shy people together, and mixing up the seating plan if dinners are being held amongst the same group over several days in a row.<\/p>\n<p>Where did Daniel acquire his masterful table-setting skills? He says: \u2018I have to give credit here to a client I worked for in France for many years.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/19\/15\/75592691-12535615-image-a-15_1695133300783.jpg\" height=\"673\" width=\"633\"><\/p>\n<p>&#8216;If you are using multiple glasses, you want them in order &#8211; water as the first glass, then each glass for each course wine pairing followed by dessert wine then port,&#8217; says Daniel<\/p>\n<h3>How to sign up to The Mail&#8217;s WhatsApp Channel<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/20\/08\/75383141-12512879-Scan_this_QR_code_and_you_ll_be_taken_to_a_page_to_join_the_chan-a-236_1695194307163.jpg\" height=\"284\" width=\"284\"><\/p>\n<p>Scan this QR code and you&#8217;ll be taken to a page to join the channel<\/p>\n<p>If you are reading this on your <span>mobile web browser or in our Daily Mail app<\/span>\u00a0<span>on <\/span><span>Android <\/span>then\u00a0click on this invite link.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you are reading this in our <span>Daily Mail app on iOS\u00a0<\/span>&#8211; go to the App Store &gt; download or update WhatsApp &gt; tap the &#8216;Updates&#8217; tab &gt; hit + in the &#8216;Channels&#8217; section &gt; search &#8216;Daily Mail&#8217; &gt; hit + to follow.<\/p>\n<p>If you are reading this on <span>desktop\u00a0<\/span>you can use your phone to scan the QR code and you&#8217;ll be taken to a page to join the Channel.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you can&#8217;t see Channels in WhatsApp on your device, try updating WhatsApp via your app store.

He says: \u2018There will be 1,000 books to tell you how to set a table, especially in reference to bygone eras.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The main thing, he insists, is to have &#8216;fun&#8217; with it.
