Whether you’re having a big family get-together, a quiet one with your loved ones or friends over for festive drinks, we’ve got the best dining sets for you this Christmas and our top tips to help your Christmas run smoothly.
The Large Family Gathering
If you’ve got a large family over for Christmas, you’ll want everyone to be comfortable around the table, but you also need to have a large enough table to accommodate everyone. This is why the Calenzano Dining Table and Blakely Dining Chairs Dining Set is perfect. The double extending table can seat eight to ten people, so it’s great for everyday living and entertaining.
Top tip: Don’t be afraid to use place names. It may seem a little formal, but it means you have full control of where everyone sits, ensuring everyone’s happy. Put yourself somewhere near the door so you have easy access to the kitchen. Place names don’t have to be fussy, a simple gift tag on the napkin will look lovely, but if you have the time why not go all out, it is Christmas after all!
White Christmas Luxe
White, silver and ice blue tones are perfect for adding a stylish yet festive look to your home. Carry the colour palette of your ice white Christmas tree through to the table décor by clustering luxe baubles on a silver tray or in a hurricane jar, alternatively try spraying pinecones silver and dotting amongst a garland runner. The Clover Velvet Chairs and Serena Dining Benches in blue grey would be perfect for this look. Style with the Mia 6 Seater White Ceramic Dining Table to complete your luxurious white Christmas look.@thelittleterracehouse combined the Zen white gloss table with Loop benches for her cosy, white Christmas look. For a similar style check out the Zen White Gloss Dining Table and Dover Bench combination for a crisp white and grey look.
Colourful Christmas
For a contemporary festive feel add bold colours to your space with pompoms, baubles or colourful candles.
Top tip: If you’re going for a colourful Christmas, be bold, really go for it! Don’t shy away, this is a time when more is more. Layer bright colours against a backdrop of crisp white gloss.
Christmas Games Table
The Curva white gloss Dining Table is the perfect setting for gathering friends for leisurely dinners and a board game; who doesn’t love a board game at Christmas? A round or oval table is ideal for entertaining as there’s a common centre that everyone has access to and the Curva table seats up to six when extended. The Theo Dining Chairs are so comfy with their premium faux leather upholstery and thick padded seating – perfect for that never-ending game of Monopoly.
Top tip: Create a zoned drinks area where people can help themselves. Not only will it make guests feel relaxed yet involved, it’ll leave you free to get on with other things. Having a dedicated drinks space also leaves more room on the table, this works well for dinner and evening games time.
Small Space Christmas Dining
Top tip: – If you’re concerned about space on the table for decorations once the bowls of cranberry sauce and sprouts are laid out, think about hanging your décor over the table. Different heights should always be considered when decorating the table, so take it to new levels and hang your décor instead. If you have an over-the-table light already, try weaving some festive foliage around the lights, alternatively arrange large, statement baubles over the table, or decorate your pendant lights with subtle yet cute bows and miniature wreaths. But remember, don’t light candles on the table if you have hanging decorations.
