SET THE SCENE FOR: Christmas feasts

Christmas is a time for everyone to get together and enjoy a celebration full of traditional fayre. Which usually means extended tables, extra chairs and a pre-Christmas Day ritual of stocking up on additional tableware, table linen and glasses to ensure there is enough to go round. Seasonal colours usually dictate the style of a table setting, with white often winning over brighter shades as a failsafe option.

This year, adopt a festive take on classic folk style with rustic textures and seasonal fruits, berries and branches for decoration. Create a feast for the eyes
