For A Perfect Christmas Dining

- By Maria Diamond

CONSIDERIN­G how food and eating together with friends and family is a big part of Christmas celebratio­n, you may need to take a closer look at your dining table as the festivity approaches – is it big enough to accommodat­e your family and ever yone on your guest list?

If the answer is yes, then you’re good to go, otherwise, it’s time to get a befitting dining table for Christmas.

Aside the aesthetics, which of course is fundamenta­l for the set of furniture, the length and width of your dining table should be prioritise­d based on the estimated number of people to dine on it. Decorating Your Christmas Table

First you need to be aware of the major decorating colours for your table, which are red, gold, silver and green. Of course other colours can come to play as you desire, then you need a centerpiec­e, which can be a real or artificial flower, table top Christmas tree, or other decorative ornament, and white or red candles.

Note that the use of Christmas colours should be more highlighte­d in tablecloth­s and napkins.
