Host New Year in style
For a festive look that is natural and easy to achieve, lay a crisp linen cloth and add sprigs of evergreen foliage from the garden.
Give it a twist...
If you want to prepare your table in advance and are worried about foliage drying out, then go faux.
Arrange a centrepiece
Display tapered candles in clear wine bottles for an elegant touch. Fill with distilled water (to prevent clouding) and place sprigs of winter foliage inside.
Give it a twist...
Fill empty bottles with battery-operated fairy lights before adding a coloured candle to the bottleneck.
Add a chair decoration
Eye-catching ornaments on the back of chairs give an unexpected seasonal flourish. Embellish with glass
