Traditional hearty French country affair:
There is nothing like a traditional French Christmas eve dinner (Le Réveillon) with smoked salmon, oysters and champagne for starters, a hearty meal with chestnut-stuffed turkey or roasted chicken and typical chocolate Bûche de Noël melting the cold away as you finish with dessert in front of the fireplace.
The food makes for glamorous decoration and with a country home interior and French style furniture in oak or antique finishes you have no choice but a gigantic Christmas tree (Le Sapin de Noël) in true French tradition. We love the red pomegranates for table centerpieces, glass jars filled with holly berries, pine tree leaves and elaborate red bows for chandeliers and wall decorations.
Minimalist decorations for a contemporary Christmas celebration:
Perhaps a traditional Christmas is not your thing! Why not something minimalist to complement a contemporary wooden dining table, modern dining chairs or black & white upholstered prints.
A simple decoration with pine tree twigs and a touch of red holly berries combined with rustic ceramic vases and geometric shapes symbolising stars goes very well with modern dining chairs featuring monochrome or black.
Adding natural fibre for gift wrapping with simple black & white prints and a modern Christmas tree with glass baubles is brilliant with contemporary wooden tables and glossy finishes.
If you have limited space for a large tree with chunky upholstered dining room sets, why not try this creative visual tree on your wall with some of your best memories this year and a simple table setting with touches of black stars and stripes to compliment a modern look.
