The dining table signifies family time and celebrations. The table settings you pull out year after year becomes the backdrop for memories, so regardless of what you choose to set out, it is worth putting in some thought, says Open Home Ready’s Ana Stevenson.
I love styling tables for any occasion, it’s all about layering, using what’s around you and keeping it relevant to the season and the occasion. Peonies were the star in the table pictured, but in December, Pohutukawa, agapanthus, or chester daisies are all in abundance and accessible. The secret to an eye-catching table setting is the layers; layering a combination of texture, color and accessories creates a rich, beautiful tablescape. Be bold and throw a handful of petals as your pisita resistance.
Tips to create a holiday season table to remember:
Don't stop at your festive table, make the most of the time at home with family and away from schedules to play around and style other parts of your home. Choose a room or space and change things up, maybe replace your cushions and throws, you'd be amazed how it refreshes a room.
Enjoy the festive season and wishing everyone a fabulous 2023.
