4 tips for a festive table

It’s not that I’m not a fan of the “less is more” trend, but when it comes to tablescaping more is always more. A table should be warm, inviting and full of colour. I always try to make it look like a little piece of art, because if you love a beautiful table as much as I do, you truly look at it that way. These four tips will make your next table just a little more special.

Tip 1: Theme and Colours

Choose a theme for your table to create a coherent atmosphere.The theme will depend on the kind the occasion. A Christmas table will typically be filled with warm red and green colours. If you want to create a lighter table for a brunch or easter festivities you could go for a softer colour palette with pastels and whites. Try to find small decoration pieces to add to your table within this theme.

Tip 2: Table Linens

A nice cotton or linen tablecloth will automatically give your table a welcoming atmosphere. It will be the canvas for everything that is added later on in the process, so choose it wisely. A light or neutral one will allow for a great number of options later on, but a busier printed alternative will immediately give your table a unique vibe.

Tip 3: Candlelight

Nothing can ruin a cosy dinner like harsh lightning. Turn off or dim the main lights in your dining room, turn on your decorative lamps and add a lot of candles to your table. Either use several long candles in a tall candle holder or use tea lights. They are such a vital component of a cosy table, bringing everyone into a festive atmosphere.

Tip 4: Flowers

My decoration of choice is usually flowers. They add colour, a nice smell and vibrancy to a table. Always go for flowers that are in season to create the right atmosphere. A large bouquet can often disrupt your guests’ view at the table, therefore aim to go for multiple small vases with just a few flowers in each of them. Another way to display flowers is by using the dried kind and laying them out all over your table.
