Glamorous

Pink for Christmas? That’s right! For a more restrained, resplendent vibe, gravitate toward gentle tone-on-tone accessories and see how they pop against gold and brass finishes. For overall flow, avoid distracting patterns and over-decorating for the holidays — a few discreet ornaments and fresh flowers are all it takes to elevate this ever-so-merry look.

Using a classic Christmas colour palette with playful motifs will get everyone into the holiday spirit. Don’t be afraid to throw in a couple of items that mix and match the theme — here we chose an adorable, holiday pup plate!

Scandi

Timeless and trim, a Scandi-style table invites those who gather to revel in life’s simple pleasures. Black is where it’s at here, paired with one or two soft and contrasting colours—in this case, green and white. To shine a spotlight on the Nordic-ness, try integrating a few organic accents, i.e., pine branches and pine cones.

Sophisticated

Gold and marble are the quintessential symbols of luxury and elegance, and you mustn’t overlook how a well-placed black tablecloth can usher in additional tabletop sophistication. For a proper nod to Noel, use caution and steer clear of looking too theatrical. Our solution: fresh flowers and red accessories.

Country

Leave it to nature to bring the rustic vibes — especially the polished, warm wood featured in our country table setting. Play with organic textures for the dishware and fabrics (linen, cotton, earthenware), add in some charming throwback Christmas motifs, and top it all off with an array of fragrant evergreens to complete the look.
