Make This Christmas Special
14 December, 2021
A collection of tips to make your Christmas feel even more special this December.
Dining Tables
Choose a dining table that caters for all your events this season, and all your round. We recommend something that will make your small family gathering cozy, while also welcoming those bigger dining moments. Our Duca dining table with a ceramic mood is a great option. It comes in a dark and light color ceramic top to match your home, while also being extendable!
Decorating
Long decorations are the perfect choice for rectangular dining tables. Wreaths, candles, fruit, and other decorative items can be used across the table as part of the design. Adopting a long decorative approach will allow every person to be included in the festive vibe you are creating. A center piece on a rectangular table can exclude some of the guests, it is more suitable for round tables.
Natural Touches
Natural materials like wood, dry flowers, fruit, and candles are a great way to add a natural touch to your home. The warmth brought on by these natural materials will quickly spread around your home and to your events.
Candles add the perfect glow to your winter soirees. With candles, you can be as creative as you like by choosing candle holders of different heights, colors, and incorporating them around your home, in the salon, dining room, living room, etc. Check out our Millie Wooden Candle Holder made with a real wood base and available in natural colors.
Candle holders in different heights like our Everly candle holders do a great job of adding a luxurious touch:
Green leaves with branches and pine cones also add a natural and personal touch to your set up. For an unexpected, yet cheerful, surprise, try incorporating eucalyptus and citrus to your table this Christmas.
Table Setting:
The little details can make the biggest difference in your table setting. Here are a few ways we think you can uplift your set up and make your family and friends feel extra special.
Fold your napkins in a new way to create a simple yet elegant display on your dining set up. It's best to place it at the center of the plate. We also recommend choosing napkins that match the season.
Opt for a formal set up of plates, cutlery, and glassware to make your dinner standout. Here is a guide to help you:
Gift Wrapping
Go for a beautiful and elegant approach. Use plain and natural colored paper like white or beige and pair the papers with a velvet ribbon in red, green, white, or gold. This is another opportunity to bring in nature. Try adding dried or fresh leaves and pinecones to the box. Wrap your gifts alike so they create a nice visual under your tree.
Now that we’ve covered the dining room, what about the living room? Here are a few tips we think will help your living room embrace the Christmas spirit:
Pile your sofa with soft, cozy throws and velvety cushions. Keep this vibe going by adding the welcoming warmth of a shaggy rug on the floor.
Think green! Green is the color of life, of Christmas trees, and should be the theme of your Christmas living room. Whether or not you already have green accents in your room, you can still welcome this rejuvenating color through a variety of accessories or center pieces.
Use nature inspired decoration. A rustic wreath of thin boughs, enticing eucalyptus, and a twinkling of fairy lights, can really cosy the place up.
In line with the above, you can fill your vases with a mix of green leaves and dry branches; or decorate your walls with unique, handmade bouquets of natural green leaves with a touch of white leaves to give the snowy look.
Finally, place a large bowl on your coffee table and fill it with decorative items.
