If there’s ever a time when you can pull out all the stops to create a stylish and decorative table, Christmas Day is it. Simple touches, such as tying a plain red ribbon round the back of a wooden chair or adding some green fern and red berries to plates, can make a big impact. Sparkling tealights dotted around the table create a magical, cosy atmosphere and a seasonal floral centrepiece looks natural and elegant. A scattering of silver snowflake decorations will finish your setting perfectly.
