Dining Tables In Time For Christmas

Transform your dining table into a festive centrepiece with a few simple touches. Start with a tablecloth or runner in a seasonal colour or pattern. A centrepiece is key - think candles, a festive floral arrangement, or a collection of pinecones and baubles. For each place setting, use charger plates under your dinnerware to add a touch of elegance. Festive napkins and napkin rings complete the look. Scatter some crackers and sprigs of greenery for extra cheer. Consider adding some ambient lighting with candles or fairy lights for a warm and inviting atmosphere. Remember, the key is to create a balance between festive elements and a stylish, cohesive look that complements your existing decor.

For a comfortable Christmas dinner, ensure enough space around your dining table. Ideally, allow 75cm between the table edge and walls or other furniture. This gives guests ample room to move their chairs in and out without bumping into anything. Consider the number of guests and the size of your dining chairs - larger, more elaborate chairs will require more space. If you're using extendable tables, factor in the fully extended size when planning your space. A bit of extra room also helps with serving and clearing the table during the festive feast. For a more precise calculation, measure your chairs' width and depth, and add this to the recommended 75cm clearance.

For a comfortable Christmas dinner, consider the number of guests. A 1524mm diameter table comfortably seats six, while a 1829mm table accommodates eight. A smaller 1200-1372mm table is suitable for four people, but can feel cramped with six, especially with Christmas dinner's extra dishes and decorations. Remember to account for space around the table - ideally 900mm between the table edge and the wall - so guests can move comfortably. For more information visit our blog post.
