3 Ways to Style your Festive Table Setting
The festive season poses many hosting challenges – will you be having people round for Christmas Eve drinks? For Boxing Day turkey pie? Or for the big event that is the Christmas Day meal for all the family? It’s fair to say that at some stage during the holidays, you will be hosting friends and family in some way, and so, our attention falls to how to decorate the home and most importantly – the table! From statement centerpieces to beautifully classic colour schemes and rustic details, there are so options when it comes to decorating your festive table scene. To help you feel inspired, we’ve put together three different ways to style your Christmas table.
Glitzy & Glamorous
If you favour traditional Christmas decorations and carefully considered, neat interiors, then opt for classic ornaments, choosing one base colour and one complementary colour for a considered aesthetic. Gold and red, silver and blue, purple and teal, or white and green all work well as pairs, providing you with a stylish home this December.
Modern & Scandi
If you favour pared-back minimalist design, then a modern Scandi approach is the festive style for you. Characterised by a neutral palette, hints of greenery and natural textures, this ‘less is more’ style delivers an overall contemporary aesthetic and calming feeling. Often completed with crinkly linens, delicately placed greenery and simple accessories, the modern Scandi look can feel just as festive as more extravagant Christmas styles and is perfect for those who prefer a less busy approach to decorating.
Rustic & Country
For an unreservedly classic Christmas look, it’s all about embracing a rustic charm. Reds, whites, greens and wood tones form the basis of this style as well as plenty of fir greenery and candlelight. Evoking a sense of homeliness and cosiness, the rustic country decorating approach is one that stands the test of time year after year, ticking all the boxes when it comes to delivering Christmas warmth and cheer. Complete this look with rustic table runners, charming trinkets and personalised finishing touches for the ultimate welcoming country table setting.
