Create A Festive Dining Scene
Dining is so important during the festive period, a way to make the season memorable and magical. This year welcome family and friends with simple place settings or dramatic table scapes, be it for a cosy Thanksgiving dinner, an intimate Christmas Eve supper, the big day itself, or a relaxed Boxing Day lunch, but make sure you have a beautiful backdrop full of festive flourishes!
Whether you are in the country or city, celebrate the beauty of the winter season by dressing your table with seasonal foliage. Bring lichen encrusted branches inside for a timeless, natural way to display baubles and decorations, set this against the charcoal, hand drawn winter vines of Misselthwaite Wallpaper. Snip little sprigs of foliage to wrap around napkins, place on simple handmade crockery and mix with vintage silverware and twinkling candle light for warmth. Set it all off with a runner made of wallpaper offcuts from your last decorating project. We used the hand drawn snowflakes of Wilson’s Crystals Wallpaper.
The yuetide season is an excuse to create atmospheric vignettes all around your home, but especially in the dining room. Branches of fir fill the room with scent in celebration of the cosiness of winter, whilst a classic monochrome scheme is reminiscent of frosty mornings with a gentleness that comes from the hand drawn motifs.
