Christmas has arrived!
The countdown to all those meals that we have in these dates full of magic and illusion is here. Days that become a wonderful mess with friends and family. That is why today we wanted to dedicate this post to the Christmas tables. A fundamental element that concentrates all the looks of our guests, because all the celebrations are around them.
Next, we leave you the best tips to decorate the table that will help you create a presentation that conveys harmony and elegance:
1-. Table lighting is key. It is important to create an intimate and cozy atmosphere. Therefore we recommend focusing the point of interest on the table, placing different candles or lighting. We recommend that the candles are not very long so that they do not disturb the vision of the guests during dinner.
2-. The tablecloth, very important element. It is the basis of everything we are going to put on the scene. Far are those tablecloths with drawings of reindeer and Santa Claus. We prefer a linen tablecloth with a plain color of earth tones or soft tones.
3-. The napkins, an element that does not have much prominence but with which we can give the different touch contrasting colors. In addition, you can add some decorative element to create a greater point of interest.
4-. The cutlery, remember that the knife and the spoon will always be placed on the right and the fork on the left. They are placed according to the order of arrival of the food at the table. The knives always with the edge inwards.
5-. On glassware it has always been said that it has to be all of the same model. We prefer to combine different styles and colors to give dynamism. Mixing different styles will make your table more original and personal.
6-. And finally, but not least, the crockery. If you use a single tablecloth for the whole table, use a low individual dish for each of the guests. This way you visually create a limitation between each one of them and help you to give a more elegant touch.
These points are still small guidelines that can guide you when decorating your table. However, you should not forget to put your personal touch and let your imagination flutter. Sometimes the best is out of the conventional. Remember that we are between family and friends, and you do not have to follow the protocols at the footnote Personalize your space!
