Christmas is just around the corner and many of us are starting to think about planning our festive table setting ready to get the party started. Keep on reading to find out our top tips on how to wow your guests and style the perfect Christmas Tablescape.
The first step to planning your Christmas Tablescape is to consider your colour scheme and how you can integrate this into your decorations. If you are using your regular serving wear sets, a great place to start would be considering the colour of your plates, bowls etc. If you have white dining sets, the opportunities are endless however if you have more unique colours such as red or black, we recommend planning your decorations to match these colours.
Now we have your colour scheme and your centrepiece together, we almost have a finished Christmas Tablescape! It’s time to start considering the finer details such as texture and how to introduce this into your table.
Texture can be included into your design in many ways such as your napkins, your placemats and even any foliage that you may want to add to your table such as fresh flowers or greenery. When you are considering your napkins and placemat combinations, we recommend two options; creating a contrast with colours and materials or creating a solid and uniform colour such as linen placemats and napkins to match or alternatively, a black placemat with a high contrast napkin to make the tape design pop for example.
If you would like to introduce foliage into your table design, a great way of doing this is by picking a garland of your choice and weaving it down the centre of your table. This is a brilliant way of being able to create the illusion of an intricate florist inspired table plan without having to break the bank.
