Festive Tablescaping: Four Ideas For How to Set Your Table this Christmas

This Christmas, it's time to gather around the dinner table with family and friends to eat, drink and be merry. Read below for our seasonal table dressing ideas and place setting styling tips for adding that extra special touch.

Set the table for…a Festive Lunch

For your Christmas lunch table, layer festive print on festive print with a joyful combination of Christmas napkins and table linen. Finish by picking some foliage from your garden to incorporate into your napkin wrap.

Set the table for…Christmas Day

Add all the trimmings to your festive table, layering up crockery in matching colours in an array of different patterns. Personalised Christmas decorations make a delightful table setting.

Set the table for…Candlelight Dinners and Evening Parties

When setting your table for a more decadent affair, Purple Poppies layered up with Gold Toast works a treat. Decorated with 22ct gold, this combination adds something special to any festive party table.

Set the table for…an autumnal feast

For a more evergreen table setting idea, why not try mixing in classic Black Toast & Marmalade with Oak? The large 10 1/2 plate and smaller 6 1/2 beautifully bookend our toast scripted 8 1/2 plate.
