From choosing the perfect theme to adding final touches, we are going to gift you our top tips on enhancing your Christmas table styling allowing your tablescape to be off the naughty list this year!
Layering Linen
The foundation of any styled tablescape is the co-ordination of linen as it sets the tone for the rest of the setting. The key to your tablescape is the layering of linen evoking a sense of holiday cheer and being the backdrop of your chosen aesthetic.
Our favourite combination of linen this festive season is a lavish setting that includes a Casper White Weave tablecloth with Silk Chiffon – Champagne runner paired with our Velvet Eggshell Napkins & a white satin bow used as a napkin ring. The union of the white and gold evokes a sense of sophistication and warmth. The white tablecloth adds a polished aspect whilst the metallic shimmer brings a festive sparkle to the table!
For more of a dramatic setting our Merlot Velvet tablecloth paired with our Scalloped Edge Napkin – White & Pearl Napkin Holder exudes a regal aesthetic that creates a sumptuous backdrop. Also, the deep, rich tablecloth is captivating for the eye as well as haptic fulfilling.
Creative Centre pieces & Décor
There are no rules on style or décor for your centrepiece, however it is the focal point of your tablescape and should be aligned with your linen and theme choice. Whether you’re going for a magnificent showstopper with various Antique Candle Holders combined with blossoming florals or a chic minimalist style with our Dome Gold Table lamps, the centre piece should reflect your personal style.
To create the perfect ambience and drama to your table, add lighting of various heights scattered down your setting. Our LED Pillar Candles cast an enchanting glow that last for extended hours allowing for cherished memories to be made all night long.
Also, statement vases and bowls that are meticulous planned out in clusters add texture and interest to the tablescape.
Table Textures
A styled festive tablescape should be full of bright textures and hues reflecting the true sentiment of Christmas that would even make the scrooge smile. The key is to balance the elements in a harmonious way and keep your theme consistent. Whether you are going for a traditional palette, winter wonderland or rustic aesthetic you are promised to make Christmas miracles occur for your guests!
