Whether you’re the social butterfly around town at Christmas time; or the stay-inside, host with the most... the one sport you‘ll see everywhere you go this season is the art of festive table scaping.
Christmas is about bringing people together, so what better way to celebrate the season than with your loved ones (old and new), around the table? Especially when it’s the perfect opportunity to express your personality with all your favourite people in one place.
We’ve got the decorating details for you, for those who favour minimalism over maximalism, the co-ordination connoisseurs and even something for those who want to go all out and have a mini-Santa’s grotto right on their table! Without further ado, keep scrolling to see our top 7 decoration must-haves this Christmas time.
1. DECORATIVE DETAILS
Nothing captures the spirit of Christmas like sparkling baubles hanging from trees and windows, but why limit them to just the tree when you can bring that festive sparkle to your table? Start with our selection of , which add a festive touch to any meal. Scatter them around the table, using their ribbons to place them near glasses or cutlery. Your guests will love the extra details. Plus, they won’t take up much room, leaving plenty of space for serving your holiday feast. It’s the perfect balance of style and practicality.
2. GIVE BACK TO THE EARTH
‘Tis the season of giving, and we’re not stopping at just spoiling our friends and family this year. Give back to the earth with our Ambra Recycled Wine Glasses.

3. SET THE MOOD
Creating the perfect atmosphere for your evening gatherings often relies on the right lighting. Our best advice? You can never have too many candles, especially during the festive season. For a cosy glow, you can opt for our scented candles, which bring a warm fragrance to any setting, or choose the elegant Kala Candle Holder for stick candles, adding a refined touch to your table. Together or on their own, they create a scene as magical as placing a star atop your tree, turning your table into the centrepiece of your celebrations. Don’t miss out on these premium choices for your décor.
4. MODERN DAY MONOCHROME
If you’re new to hosting and dressing your table and don’t know where to start in choosing from the abundance of avenues, you could go down in colour schemes. Start simple with our ff-white Shoreline collection. This unique milky speckle glaze and hand-dipped earthware terracotta rim is what you’d agree is the epitome of ‘quiet luxury’. By starting your base with some signature monochrome pieces, you can build pops of colour around this, not to mention you can use them again for seasons after Christmas.
5. NATURAL FOLIAGE
Every year the same question comes around: “Isn’t it funny that we put a tree inside our houses and decorate it?”. Well, we’re fully embracing it and suggesting you carry the theme into your table décor by using branches with and ribbons. For a side centrepiece, pair any foliage with a bold yet elegant vase. The perfect finishing touch for those looking to break away from the traditional Christmas look and feel.
