Go green
Create an impactful table centrepiece of seasonal evergreens such as holly, pine or spruce. Head to a John Lewis store to explore our new foliage stations, full of faux flowers, picks, and accessories.
Lighten up
Don't underestimate the power of lighting to effortlessly create a cosy, festive atmosphere. Tall candles, lanterns, or twinkling string lights will transform a dining space.
On the nose
Scent is such an important part of the magic of Christmas. You can't go wrong with winter or festive scented candles dotted along your table or dried fruit to deliciously infuse the whole house.
Festive fun
If there will be little ones around your table, prioritise making it fun with the obligatory Christmas crackers, plenty of special festive tableware and - why not - novelty Christmas pudding napkins.
