REVEL IN RED
Red adds warmth and richness to a table setting and,
as a traditional seasonal colour, can also evoke pleasing memories of
past celebrations.
Wendy Miranda at Lakeland says: “Red can't
fail to have impact and works beautifully if it's combined with a nature
theme, using berries and greenery from the garden or artificial
garlands, and this year you can enhance it by picking up on the trend
for featuring woodland creatures.”

TABLE TIP Create fashionable Scandi style with a simple red-and-white theme. Tie red ribbon and a red bauble around each napkin, and use the ribbon and a name label to decorate each chair. Conjure more formal grandeur by combining red with glittering gold accessories.

Place settings always appeal. B&Q has red glitter reindeer, £5 for a set of two, which would make ideal name-card holders. Make a focal point of a red Santa On Sleigh candle-holder, £14.99, which has space for four tea lights, from The Contemporary Home.
