Our inspiration for setting a Christmas table

Christmas is the perfect time to gather around a warm, generous and magical table. Between timeless traditions and creative touches, the art of setting a festive table lies in combining twinkling lights, soft textures and details that delight young and old. Clean lines, subtle contrasts and mixes of materials enhance the whole, creating a festive atmosphere that blends modernity and conviviality. Whether you prefer a classic, elegant mood inspired by deep reds and fir greens, or a more understated, contemporary décor punctuated with metallic accents and graphic shapes, our ideas will guide you to compose a unique Christmas table where every detail contributes to the art of hosting with elegance and the magic of the season.

How to make a magical Christmas table: decorating, atmosphere and little details.

How to decorate a Christmas table

Start with a simple base: tablecloth, runner, plates and glasses that all work well together.

Play with colour, texture and materials to make the table warm and welcoming. Pick a clear theme or colour palette so everything looks neat and balanced.

Mix natural items like fir branches, berries, dried fruit or seasonal flowers with a few sparkly bits to bring magic and a real feel.

Tiny extras — name tags, hanging decorations, and flexible centrepieces — give the table character and surprise each guest.

Use wood, metal, glass and fabrics together to add contrast and interest. This makes the table feel modern and festive, and every detail helps create the Christmas magic.

Family moments and little surprises for the children

Christmas is the perfect time to create unforgettable family memories. Involve the children in decorating the table: folding napkins, making place cards, or crafting small ornaments. Play with colours and shapes to make the table playful and joyful while keeping a harmonious look.

Tuck a few surprises or treats at their places to spark curiosity and wonder.

That way, every meal becomes a shared moment where young and old take part in the magic of the holiday.

Lighting sets the mood

Light instantly transforms the atmosphere. Candles, Christmas lamps, string lights or lanterns bring warmth and intimacy to the table. Soft lighting highlights the decorations and creates a welcoming setting. Vary the light sources and play with the reflections on metallic pieces and glass to add depth and sparkle to your table and captivate your guests' attention.
