When colour sets the mood at the table

Sometimes one colour is enough to make a big difference. Whether bright, soft, contrasting or tone‑on‑tone, colour sets the mood and brings a special energy to your table. It can call to mind a season, a feeling, a memory or a celebration. Bright plates, bold-coloured napkins or a lively centrepiece can turn a simple meal into a joyful shared moment. Play with colour palettes to create unique, lively looks that feel like you.

How to set a warm, elegant winter table

Winter is the perfect time to make a table feel cosy, friendly and full of charm. Here are simple ideas to create a successful winter table.

  1. Warm materials
    Choose a thick linen tablecloth, a boucle or faux‑fur runner, and felt or wooden placemats. These textures add softness and depth.
  2. Seasonal colour palette
    Pick winter tones like white, cream, pearl grey, pine green, burgundy or midnight blue. Add small gold or copper touches for a festive feel.
  3. Soft, low lighting
    Use candles at different heights, frosted tealight holders or a string of warm lights on the table. They give a gentle, comforting glow.
  4. Natural accents
    Add fir branches, pine cones, red berries or dried orange slices for an authentic seasonal touch.
  5. Careful tableware and details
    Choose simple, elegant crockery and cloth napkins tied with twine and a small sprig (rosemary, cinnamon stick or eucalyptus). Add pretty place‑cards for a personal touch.
