Placemats and coasters are the first step to a festive Christmas
Placemats and coasters are great for protecting our furniture from spillage, but they are also an important decorative tool.
You can set them with colours and patterns to help compliment the room, and even draw people’s eyes if you are trying to attract attention to a table.
A simple Google search will unearth hundreds of unique ideas for placemats and coasters, so you’re bound to find something that goes with your festive dining decor.
Create a focal point for your festive dining experience with a table centrepiece
A centrepiece is the heart of any Christmas table decoration. Your guests will spend most of their time at the table. Because of this, you’ll want to put a lot of effort into making it look good.
Christmas Around the World has a lot of good ideas for centrepieces. If you’re stuck for ideas, you’ll definitely be able to find something there.

Choose a festive dining colour scheme and run with it
Choosing a Christmas colour scheme is important. Red, green, gold and silver are the tried and true options, however any hue can result in an aesthetically pleasing colour scheme.
The trick to finding a colour scheme that works for you is to take inspiration from a range of sources. To make your home as festive as possible, carry that theme throughout your home.
When choosing your color combinations, remember that most colors of equal depth and intensity will work with each other. Try different colour schemes until you find one you like, and run with it!
