4 IDEAS FOR MAGICAL
CHRISTMAS TABLE DECOR
Make every festive meal special with showstopping table-setting ideas for every style and Christmas moment, from the 25th through to New Year’s Eve
Party Starters
Our colourful Party Starters festive tablescape is the perfect backdrop to holiday cheer. Keep your table runner plain to let the Christmas tablewear really sing. Bring out the seasonal crockery and glassware, from festive plates and platters to pretty, patterned Christmassy serving dishes. Dial up the party mood by decorating the table with bold festoon string lights, disco-inspired baubles in a rainbow of colours (or opt for a scattering of ultra-fun Percy Pig tree decorations) and finish with themed napkins.
Christmas Cabin
Deep burgundy red and unexpected colour pops are the starting point for this jolly Christmas Cabin tablescaping theme. Create a focal point with some festive greenery, pillar candles of various sizes in candy-striped candle holders and then scatter glass and vintage-inspired baubles. Novelty tree decorations, gingham tablecloths and embellished wine glasses add a cosy, traditional feel. Place a loosely folded cloth napkin at each place setting and tie with red ribbon as a festive finishing touch.
Nordic Notes
Make Christmas meals magical with this stylish Nordic Notes decorating theme. Start with a crisp white tablecloth, then add deep evergreen foliage to create a cosy, otherworldly feel. Thread through touches of metallics to add shine and sparkle, making a statement with decorative serving plates. Place elegant crockery and coasters at each table setting, with silver cutlery and decorative wine glasses, then add a festive flourish with a glittering foliage decoration on every plate.
Vintage Soirée
Team metallic elements with classic tableware for an elegant gathering. Create a centrepiece with a row of glittering Christmas trees arranged onto a seasonal table runner for a celebratory feel. Arrange pillar candles in holders of various heights along the length of the table. Build the place settings with woven placemats, seasonal crockery, silver cutlery and retro glassware. Finish with napkins weighed down with jewelled baubles and silver-themed crackers to complete the Vintage Soirée aesthetic.
