Create a space that invites connection and celebration this Christmas.
-
Whether you're hosting on Christmas Day or planning a more relaxed seasonal gathering, the dining table becomes the heart of the home during the festive period.
With a little vision and thoughtful planning, it can transform into a stunning centrepiece that tells the story of the season.
PICK A COLOUR PALETTE
This year's hottest trends lean into earthy elegance and rich, jewel-inspired tones - think deep burgundy, olive green, and warm amber, paired with soft champagne accents for a subtle shimmer. These hues work beautifully with natural textures like wood, wicker, linen, and velvet to create a look that feels timeless, grounded, and refreshed.
BRING THE OUTDOORS IN
Sustainability continues to shape seasonal styling, with nature-inspired elements playing a starring role. Add organic texture and warmth with:
- Sprigs of rosemary or pine tucked into napkins
- Dried orange slices, pomegranates, or cranberries scattered along the runner
- Wooden chargers or rattan placemats
- Linen tablecloths and napkins in washed, raw fabrics

PERFECTLY IMPERFECT
Let go of rigid formality and embrace a more relaxed luxury aesthetic. This trend favours:
- Mismatched vintage plates and glassware
- Handmade ceramics with character
- Napkins tied loosely with silk ribbon or rustic twine
