One of my favourite traditions for Christmas is decorating that all important table for Christmas day. I love any excuse to set up the perfect festive table and invite my favourite people around to celebrate the most magical time of the year. If you ask me, there’s no better way to gather together for a night filled with laughter, joy and drinking.
Being surrounded by beautiful products in the Fig1 shop everyday, I can’t help but find myself drawn to beautiful things (and putting together the perfect table settings in my head!) So how can you at home create the perfect Christmas atmosphere in your home this festive season? Keep reading for my top 5 table settings to try this Christmas!
Bringing the greenery inside
There’s something magical about making your own Christmas wreath. Collecting your own greenery, adding twinkly lights and adorning doorways – is there anything more magical? One of my favourite ways to dress a table is adding greenery, a touch of festive holy and winter evergreens adds a true touch of magical to any table. This simply stunning display pairs perfectly with the Simi tableware from Nkuku.
Baubles you need in your life
Simple but effective, baubles are the epitome of Christmas. For a simple table set up add a selection of baubles from one of our favourites – House Doctor – to a bowl and add to your table. Christmas can be a stressful time and this quick festive table hack is ideal for streamlining your Christmas!
Pair some of our stunning baubles with the Mbata candlestick holder for a simple Christmas look.
Christmas by candlelight
A more traditional set up, candlelight adds a cosy and inviting atmosphere to your home. Inviting people into a cosy festive atmosphere and out of the winter cold can’t be made any more lovely than by adding candles. Our favourite choice for this season is the Hurricane lantern from Nkuku – an effective choice for the dinner table with high sides to avoid accidents!
A modern touch
We adore pendant lights here at Fig1 – they create an unbeatable Scandinavian atmosphere in the home. To add some Christmas magic to your table, try adding hanging branches over your table adorned with baubles to create a magical Christmas look. For a simpler look add branches to a vase and adorn with baubles – creating a subtle but effective touch of festive joy.
Drinkware
If you’re like me, drinkware is of utmost importance on the table and with our selection of simply stunning glasses and decanters how could it not be. My favourite choices for this season has got to be the Yvette glassware range from Bloomingville. These classy grey glasses can’t help but add a touch of elegance to your table.
