From home office to festive dining table

Do you work a lot at the dining table these days? It's time to make it a bit festive. Change in 5 steps your 'home office' in a cozy and festive dining table. 

Step 1: move your work to the side

Is the dining table now also your workplace? Just as important as working efficiently, is that you can easily clear up your dining table for relaxation and conviviality. Make use of products that help you get rid of your workplace in no time. Use a wheeled trolley to store your stuff and change your desk chair for a dining chair.

Step 2: add textiles

Turn your efficient workplace into a warm, cozy Christmas table by adding textiles. You can do this for example by using a tablecloth or table runner. Choose a white tablecloth for a chic look. Use cushions or sheepskins to give your chairs softness and color.

Step 3: stacking plates

Have you spent your hours in the kitchen? Then you want to serve your dishes on a perfectly set table. Start with a bottom plate, place several plates and bowls on top of it, that belong to the different courses. Stack the plates from large to small, and use different colors and materials to create a creative effect. Add a personal touch with a card in the board.

Stap 4: verschillende soorten glazen

Kies per gang een glas dat perfect past bij de drank die je serveert. Zorg ook voor waterglazen en een karaf, zodat iedereen tijdens elke gang kan bijvullen.

Step 5: add lighting

To complete the festive vibe, all you need is lighting. Add tea lights, candlesticks and (led) candles in different heights and colors for a playful effect. Put a garland of Christmas lights (with rechargeable batteries) on the table for extra fun. Create the finishing touch with a beautiful bunch of (artificial) flowers.
