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.



Make a centrepiece
Use a teacup to stack a side plate on a dinner plate and top with another cup to make a cake stand.



Create place settings
Use candy cane-style spoons as party favours and name card holders.
Gift labels make pretty place-setting name tags.
