Putting on the glitz and glamour in your house

So you have got the food all ready, you have sent the invites to your loved ones – now it’s time to get your dining table picture perfect for the big day.

And here are some ideas to help you transform your room for the ultimate festive feast. Wreath chandelier –

You can make a stunning wreath chandelier by using a hook and ribbon, suspended with the ribbons from the ceiling in a festive red or green shade. Fancy plates –

It is certainly time to bring out the fine china plates and to make them super festive - add some green shrubbery around the placemats and a runner to give it a truly festive feel. Adorned chairs –

This is a very festive twist to chairs at your dining table.

Simply buy small wreaths and tie to the back of the chair with a festive ribbon. Spicy wood centrepiece –

Using an empty vase fill it with cranberries, pine cones, cinnamon sticks and dried citrus and not only will it look stunning but will smell like Christmas trees too. Piles of gifts –

Using an array of boxes in various sizes, create a table centrepiece when you wrap them in festive paper.

You could put small gifts inside and surprise your guests. The white winter wonderland – This is a stunning alternative to the traditional reds, greens and golds for your festive table.

You could use your white tablecloth as a base, add some white napkins, snowflake napkin holders, white flowers to adorn the table and even white marshmallows in small vases or candles to complete the look.

Add a few candy canes with the red strip to really bring out the white on your table. Extra glitz –

Fill a vase or two with Christmas baubles, a great tip for creating a winter scene in any room. Wrapping paper rings – Why not be inventive with some Christmas wrapping paper and wrap it round your napkins. This is an inexpensive and effective way to dress up your napkins. Cranberry cones –

Simply spray paint a pinecone cranberry or green and you have an instant festive focal point. Jingle bell runner – It’s so simple, take a red table runner and add some bells at either end – stunning.
