The Base Layer: Set the Scene with Linen


Napkins
It's no secret we are obsessed with gorgeous napkins and this year we are over the moon to have created our very own collection of norsu STUDIO Scalloped Napkins in all our favourite colours. Whether your a neutral lover, or happy to embrace a little colour, there's a set to suit your style. Designed not just for Christmas but flexible for use at any gathering.
Style tip: Don't be afraid to mix and match your napkins for a fun festive look.

Napkin Rings
We couldn't just stop at the napkins this year, so we've also designed our own gorgeous norsu STUDIO Marble Napkin Rings, made of solid Rosso Levanto marble in the perfect shade of burgundy. Each ring is truly a work of art.

Tablecloth
Cover Up! Got a trestle table? No problem — make a statement with the L&M Home Riviera Pear Tablecloth, and no one will know your hidden little secret underneath.

Placemats
Continuing with the scallop theme, we've designed the most precious scalloped placemats in burgundy and blue. Sadly, they've sold out in record time, but more are on the way for 2026 - stay tuned...

The Centrepiece Layer: Creating Interest


Foliage

I always start with foliage - it sets the tone and it's placement sets the foundation for where you will position other items. This year, I've gone with a mix of Eucalyptus Parvifolia Burgundy leaves with Hydrangeas, Wax Flower, Blushing Bride and Chrysanthemum florals.
Tip: You’re often amazed at what you can grab from your own garden so check there for foliage options first!


Place your Decorations
You didn't think the tree was the only place to feature decorations did you? The table can be every bit as decorated on the big day, along with other parts of your home such as consoles, coffee tables and fireplace mantles. This year, we've had so much fun designing colourful norsu STUDIO acrylic trees in a combination of neutral tones, and vibrant iridescent to reflect sunlight and anything colourful nearby. By scattering them through the floral arrangement in an organic way. Not only do they add colour, they also reflect the gorgeous candle light, creating a beautiful inviting ambience.

Cluster candles
We’ve selected elegant pillar candles and brass holders from the Black Blaze collection to scatter along the table. It creates a magical, inviting glow that will make your guests linger longer.

Place Card Hack
I'm going to let you in on a little secret... Our norsu STUDIO Oversized bells, also double up as the perfect place card holder!! ;)

The Final Layer: Add Some Fun 

Now it's time for the final touches, and this year, we've made them extra fun!!

Our new norsu STUDIO Grinders make the perfect colourful statement, adding a practical and stylish addition. Available in four chic colours so you can mix and match them perfectly to your table accents.

We've also welcomed back the norsu Studio Christmas Crackers again this year, and they're even better this time around with fun new designs, velvet ribbon, and your choice of the the most wonderful surprises inside.

Oh, and don't forget to finish it all off with some fun wine glasses, tumblers and coasters.

Styling Tip: If you're feeling extra festive, grab yourself some norsu STUDIO Velvet Ribbon in different colours to tie bows onto your champagne flutes and wine glasses. They not only look great, they also help to identify your guest's glasses.

The Feast

I always use our kitchen island to house all of the food. Let's face it, the table decorations don't allow much space for shared dishes! It's also another excuse to add in a festive moment.

This year, We've served our food in the new Eden Ceramic collection in the most delicious shade of Duck Egg Blue, and our hero of the season the norsu STUDIO Entertainer! This stunner is not just for keeping drinks cool, it also doubles as the ultimate seafood server!!
Tip: Pre-freeze decorative ice cubes for you to use in drinks and also for serving. Think berries, herbs and fresh fruit. We've used a combination of pomegranate seeds with mint in large cubes to sit under the seafood, which adds the most delicious festive touch.

We've also created a beautiful dessert moment at the other end of our island, for guests to grab and go. these parfait glasses are sitting beautifully in our norsu STUDIO XL Lacquered Scalloped Tray.

My Biggest Tip

Always set your table the night before. Save yourself the stress on the big day by taking one thing off your plate. Trust me, this is a non-negotiable if you want to play the role of the effortless host for your guests.

And most importantly...enjoy! xx
