COUNTRY COOL

Luxe but laid-back, this year’s festive countryside trend is all about pairing tactile textures with high-end details. On the dining table, combine smart china and glassware with crumpled linen and natural foliage or pine cones for a look that sets an elegant tone and feels very welcoming. Neptune and The White Company stock tableware that fits the style. Add extra comfort to wooden furniture by draping soft sheepskin rugs along dining benches or fold a woollen throw over chair backs.
