Elevate Your Festive Tableware for the Holidays

When it comes to holiday entertaining, your table setting can make all the difference. As a design consultant, I always say: the table is where design and hospitality meet. From the first bite to the last toast, your tableware sets the tone for unforgettable moments with loved ones. This holiday season, why not elevate your dining experience with a thoughtful, festive table setting? Here are my top 3 colour schemes to inspire your tableware choices:

1. Classic White with a Modern Twist

Timeless and elegant, a white base provides a sophisticated foundation. But don’t stop there—bold accents, like statement plates or vibrant napkins, bring a festive flair. This combination is simple yet striking, offering the perfect balance between sophistication and seasonal cheer.

2. Red & Green with Hydrangeas

Who says you need a tree to bring in the holiday spirit? Skip the tree this year and let the rich reds and greens of the season take centre stage on your table. Softened by the delicate touch of hydrangea flowers, this colour scheme creates a gorgeous festive vibe without the need for a traditional tree.

3. Warm & Joyful Gender-Neutral Tones

This is my personal favourite! A mix of oranges, soft blushes, and gold accents creates a welcoming, joyful atmosphere — perfect for any gathering, whether large or small. It’s a playful yet sophisticated way to celebrate the season with a modern twist on traditional holiday colour.

The Truth About Tableware

It’s not just about the food; it’s about setting the stage for memories and conversations. Thoughtfully chosen tableware can transform your table into a photogenic and welcoming scene, making your gathering even more special. When every piece of your tableware has a purpose and place, it elevates your entire experience.

This holiday season, take the time to elevate your table and create an unforgettable atmosphere for all who gather around it.
