How to lay the perfect Christmas Table

You may put some seasonal decorations up at Easter or Autumn but Christmas is the time of year where we all love to ramp up the festive decor in our homes.
Whether you go all in early at the start of December or later in the month, filling your home with twinkling lights, candles and shiny colourful baubles can lift your spirits on even the darkest of cold nights.

Theming your decor scheme has become increasingly popular and even the shops display their products in colour or style themes to help you visualise them in your home.
Generally these tend to be:

Traditional, lots of classic baubles, wreaths and…. with green, red and gold.

 

 

There is Scandi, a paired back version of the Traditional, same colour scheme but with more minimalist approach.

 

 

Boho Glamour, a newer trend of creamy white and soft pink textures with lots and lots of sparkle!

 

Jewelled Glamour a fabulous palette of turquoise, fuchsia pink or deep purple mixed with gold in a selection of more contemporary style decorations.

 

Why pick a theme?

Defining your theme can seem limiting but it can actually help create a stunning, cohesive scheme for your home. You can pick an area which is the focal point where all the colours and textures come together and then take accents of those around the house, this could be on shelving, window ledges, bannisters and fireplaces. An obvious focal point is your Christmas tree, the centre point to your room and therefor your colour scheme, however your dining table can be a lovely way to unite your decor and space whilst creating a stunning setting for your guests on Christmas Day.

 

Dress to impress

The success of a decorative display is all in the detail. Tie napkins in festive ribbon or get bespoke ring holders to keep them neat and looking smart. Glass wear can really elevate the look, look for gold rimmed or cut crystal style which will catch the light and make your display shine. Spoil your guests with a gorgeous festive display and create a day to remember.
