Time to reflect

Before the busy new year sets in, take time to savour special moments with friends and family. Style a calm, pared-back celebratory table by choosing rustic pieces in linen, pottery and brass, bound by a natural palette of oatmeal, grey and cream with pops of dusky green. Finish with plenty of candlelight and sprigs of fresh foliage.
