The perfect Christmas table
December is the month to bring warmth, decoration and a little extra sparkle into your home. The Christmas table is the heart of the festive season, the place where atmosphere and togetherness come together.
The Christmas table is the heart of all the ambience. We’re delighted to share some inspiration and ideas to help bring your table truly to life: from Christmas decorations and colour schemes to choosing the right table as a beautiful foundation for your festive moments.
Styling and atmosphere: a table full of warmth
A beautiful Christmas table tells a story. But how do you build a table setting that radiates warmth, layer by layer?
Start with the foundation: table linen. Choose a natural base such as linen or cotton, in soft tones like sand, olive or deep red. If your tabletop already has a beautiful tone that suits Christmas, opt for a runner and let the wood subtly shine through.
Green is always a safe choice if you’re unsure about the colour scheme. Add greenery with pine branches, eucalyptus or ivy. Lay them loosely across the centre of the table or form small wreaths around your candles.
Lighting sets the mood. Mix tall candlesticks with small tea lights at varying heights. Candlelight adds movement and softness. Note: a scented candle with notes of pine or cinnamon adds an extra festive layer.
When it comes to tableware and glassware, mix the old with the new. Use your heirloom pieces for special occasions, and add golden cutlery for a classic Christmas touch.
Colour palette: soft shine and natural accents
The Christmas trends for 2025 focus on natural luxury: warm wood tones, linen beige, soft greens and subtle hints of gold or copper. Add the timeless holiday colours of red and green, and you have a palette that’s both classic and contemporary.
Note: place several small vases of flowers instead of one large bouquet. It spreads colour evenly and keeps the table balanced.
Details that make the difference
A Christmas table feels more personal when it tells your story:
Name cards: write names on recycled paper or tie small tags to napkins with twine.
Scent: scented candles work wonders, but cinnamon sticks or dried orange slices bring a natural Christmas fragrance too.

The table as the foundation of Christmas
Once your styling feels just right, you’ll notice how essential the table itself is. Every decoration deserves a base with character.
If you’re looking for a dining table that adapts beautifully to every season, including the holidays, a solid oak table might be the one for you. Beyond the material, the shape makes all the difference: Danish oval, oval, and round tables are perfect for creating intimacy, where everyone can see each other and conversation flows naturally.
