Christmas dining room - IH

Lay a festive table for Christmas entertaining

Get your dining room ready for Christmas in no time at all with our simple decorating ideas

Dress the table with festive red-and-white tableware, coloured glassware and cut-glass candlesticks.

Continue with berry-red and white decorations around the room. Hang big, bold paper stars and snow flakes low over the table, then add silver and crystal details for extra sparkle.
