How to style your dining table this Christmas

Get set for Christmas with a setting to impress for less

Tap into new style this holiday season, whether you’ll be gathering around the dining table or in the sun by the barbecue, the picnic table, or the pool.

Dazzle with colourful tableware

No matter how the roast potatoes turn out, your Christmas feast will still look pretty as a picture when set against statement stoneware. The Warehouse Maison d’Or Kina 12-piece dinner set in ocean aqua brings a playful pop of blue to any place setting, and at only $68, you can have your Christmas cake and eat it too. Mix and match the colours to create a playful Kiwiana effect that’ll have your whānau feeling full, happy and most importantly, jolly.

 

Create the centre of attention

With so many delights of the day, a table centrepiece is always needed to create an aesthetic focal point among the hustle and bustle. Grab inspiration from nature and create your own masterpiece with hand-picked florals and leaves in festive colours. Create a wreath or small bouquet to sit in the middle of your Christmas table. Remember to keep your centrepiece low to allow your delicious cooking to easily be passed around.

If your summer garden isn’t up to providing the festive goods, grab a 12-pack of The Warehouse Wonderland pinecones for $7 and nestle them among candleholders for a holiday scene that’ll appear like a Christmas wish come to life.

 

Add novel details

Bring out the table confetti, the napkins, and all the special little things that your guests will love.

A table runner is an easy way to tie festive colours together while providing the perfect backdrop for the main course. The Warehouse Wonderland cotton table runner is great value at only $15 and will smarten up any outdoor table for a summer day celebration in the sun.

 

Keep it simple and delicious

Christmas should be as easy as spending time with loved ones, so don’t spend the day stressing in the kitchen. Whip up a delicious Yuletide treat using The Warehouse’s grocery range that’ll keep your pantry well stocked at great value. The best thing on every Christmas table is always Mum’s baking, after all. Make sure to display your scrumptious shortbread up high where everyone can ooh and ahh over it, such as on the Living & Co cake stand.
