Home for the holidays: ready for the festive season

Who doesn’t love meandering around streets decorated with twinkling Christmas lights on a dark winter’s evening? Bring that cosy feel indoors with candles for every room: tealight holders in a large dish on your coffee table, LED candles on your bedside table, large lanterns as a dining table centrepiece, or rustic lanterns on your terrace. Tip: add an extra dose of winter cosiness with a slow-burning scented candle.

The dining table is where the most wonderful memories are made. From Christmas lunch to New Year’s dinner: an inviting table is a must during the festive season. Only got limited space? Then go for a round or oval table. As nobody is sitting at the head or in the middle, this soft shape provides an extra dynamic and more interaction at the table. In a more spacious room, it’s better to choose a rectangular table that can seat a lot of guests. Whatever shape you choose, always use soft table linens and a classic set of tableware.

Inviting your whole family over for dinner or finding the perfect gift for your best friends: Christmas can sometimes be quite stressful. So be sure to make time to unwind. How about having a games night with your partner, making biscuits with the kids, or simply lingering over a cup of hot chocolate and a good book. Our advice: a handy side table is an easy way to dedicate a little corner of your home to rest and relaxation.
