Hello everyone, and welcome to our first ever blog post! As our brand new Christmas collection has just dropped, it only felt right to dedicate our first ever blog post to affordable Christmas styling for your festive #tablescape!
Pictured here is our beautiful #christmastablescape. This winter is all about layering - candles, textures, and neutral colours.
Our online collection will provide you with simplistic country pieces to transform your table scape ready for lots of entertaining during the festive season!
Read our styling tips below to create a #timelesstablescape!
STYLE TIP ONE: TABLE TOP RUNNER/CLOTH/BARE TABLE?
First of all, when styling your table your first port of call should be deciding on whether you are having a table cloth, runner or bare table top. It is so important that you think about the colour of your theme and the placemats you will use when deciding this. We recommend having a simplistic tabletop base, either keeping it fresh with a crisp white table cloth or using our stone linen runner as a basis for your centre piece decorations. If you are going to be choosing a thick material placemat, having a bare table would work best.
You can shop our stone linen runner here, it is only £20 and is 150cm in length: https://www.oliveandwoodinteriors.com/product-page/stone-chambray-table-runner

STYLE TIP TWO: PLACEMATS!
If you have opted for a white table cloth or bare table, you can add texture to your tablescape by adding quilted placemats!
Rectangular placemats are in fashion this season, and can be a fantastic statement part of your table. Don't over crowd your table with colours, keep it clean and fresh by using a white placemat with quilted detail, so you can build colours in with your foliage and centre pieces.
You can shop our quilted placemats here, sold in a set of 2 for just £18: https://www.oliveandwoodinteriors.com/product-page/quilted-placemat-white-set-of-2
STYLE TIP THREE: NAPKINS! Three words: linen, linen, linen! The most in style napkins these season have to be those made in a linen fabric. You can shop our range of #linennapkins here, we have a range of styles and colours which will all work well on a neutral placemat such as the one above. If I had to choose, I would pick the white linen napkins. Keeping it simple, snowy and fresh this season!

STYLE TIP FOUR: GLASSWARE!
Extra tall, extra delicate, extra detailed! 2021 is all about elegance and class with glassware, and our Heather Collection is perfect for this new fashion.

1) Bud vases - style with real foliage cut from your garden or faux flowers, these add detail and a fresh touch to your table. Shop our set of 4 #budvases here for only £12.99:
