Christmas Table

Start with the size and shape of your table, then consider how much fabric you would like to hang over each edge. Our tablecloth collections are available in a range of dimensions, from 180x260cm to 180x500cm, so we recommend checking the individual product measurements against your table before choosing. 

Rich burgundy, black cherry and forest green feel classic and celebratory. Warm amber, tobacco and mustard bring a softer, candlelit glow. Most of our table linens and taper candles come in a broad palette, so there’s room to mix and match different shades. These are deep, natural shades rather than bright festive prints, so they can be enjoyed long after the season ends.

This largely depends on the size of the table and the atmosphere you enjoy. For a standard Christmas dinner table, 4 to 6 candles is usually sufficient to add atmosphere whilst still leaving room for serveware and glassware. You can group several candles together as a centrepiece or place them at regular intervals along the table. Tall taper candles should be placed strategically to allow conversation to flow freely.

A charger is a larger plate that sits beneath your dinner plate and frames each setting. It stays in place as courses come and go, which gives the table a lovely sense of occasion. A charger is one of the simplest ways to elevate a table for Christmas dinner. Our woven rattan chargers are among our best-loved pieces. Your table setting doesn't need a charger and if you'd prefer a linen placemat instead this is also a great piece for any setting. 

To ensure your Christmas tableware and linens arrive in time for Christmas, please see the last order dates here. Our best-loved colours of table linens and taper candles can sell out as December draws closer. If you have your heart set on a particular shade, it’s worth ordering a little earlier. That also leaves time to wash and press new linens before the day itself.
