Circle of light
A household tray can be transformed into a gorgeous centrepiece for your dining table. You can whip up this display in no time. Simply place some foliage around a tray – we used magnolia but pohutukawa will add a festive air – and place three different-sized candles in the centre. There you have it: an instant centrepiece that can also be used for other special occasions. Piccolo dining table, $999, from Freedom.
