6 MUST-HAVE FESTIVE TRENDS

This Christmas, impress your guests with a festive table that’s so on-trend they’ll be tripping over themselves to Instagram it first.

From sophisticated metallics to fun tropical fiestas, we’ve created the ultimate Christmas table using six of this season’s must-have trends that’ll take you from Christmas Eve right up ’till New Years Eve.

For more ideas and inspiration, explore our trend-led collections below.

GEOMETRIC

For a playful take on festivities, experiment with geometric shapes. This is a great chance to practice your origami skills and get creative. We love the idea of folding up paper fortune tellers for each guest. Our top tip? Pair clean straight lines with softer shapes to keep things light-hearted.

ECCENTRIC OPULENCE

Christmas is about indulging in more than just mince pies. Celebrate the most wonderful time of the year with opulent eccentricity – we’re talking rich greens and shimmering blues. We love the idea of introducing jewel tones into the mix to give your table a luxurious feel.

MONOCHROME & METALLIC

If there’s any time to overdo it on metallics, it’s Christmas. Don’t be afraid to mix gold and silver tones together. Paired with a monochrome colour palette, metallics will create a sumptuously chic festive look. This style is also perfect for ringing in the new year: think Gatsby, but 2016.

NATURAL SCANDI

It’s fair to say that Scandinavian Chic has been the trend of the year, but as the chill set in we saw a new – more rusticated – version emerge: Natural Scandi. Full of texture, this cool, woodland-inspired look is all about pared back simplicity. This is perfect for a down to earth Christmas or intimate family gathering.

TRADITIONAL WITH A TWIST

Breathe life into old favourites by updating a classic look. It doesn’t get more traditional than red, so try adding touches of gold to give your table a more contemporary feel. For extra style points, spray paint traditional festive fruits, like pears and clementines, in gold and red – we also like the idea of adding a pine cone or two.

TROPICAL FIESTA

If you’re determined to make this Christmas the biggest and brightest yet, go tropical. Although not the most obvious choice, pairing pinks and oranges with more festive tokens like crackers and tree decorations, is the perfect way to inject some fun into celebrations. This is also a great option for New Years Eve – who doesn’t love a pop of colour?
