‘When planning your Christmas dinner party, making the space look attractive is key. Guests will appreciate a beautifully laid table, atmospheric candles and mood lighting. Natural textures and objects, such as mistletoe or pine cones will complement neutral-toned kitchens whereas pops of metallics add a striking
contrast with darker shades.’
Hayley Simmons, Director of Commercial Range at
