It’s the most wonderful time of the year! At Urban Nest, we just LOVE anything festive. This year it’s all about balancing the cozy ambiance of evenings at home with the excitement of being able to share the festive season with family and friends. Let the festivities begin!
Styling A Marvellous Christmas Table
Christmas table is one of the most exciting and important elements of the holidays. Elevate the festive mood, highlight the food and bring the ambiance to life! We are sharing lots of ideas and inspirations for a beautiful table setting that will bring all your loved ones together!
1. Start with the Base.
Like a true artist that you are, create a base of your canvas. Table cloths or runners don’t have to be traditional, have fun with textures and colours. Doing Goods throws are fun, unique and handmade with love. Choose from array of patterns to create a personal style that speaks to you!

2. Mix and Match Ceramics.
We love pieces that last a lifetime, like our natural handmade ceramic plates and mugs. Incorporate the sets you already have in your possession to create a lively and homely setting.

3. Add a Frosting.
You can’t go wrong with frosted metallic cutlery at a table setting. The silverware is easily incorporated into any festive theme and you can continue using it year after year.

4. Impactful Centrepieces.
The centrepieces give a focal point to your table, you can choose to go with a vase of beautiful flowers or a candle arrangement. Make sure it is positioned in a right way that you can still see your guests across the table.

5. Au Naturel.
At Urban Nest sustainability and conscious living are our core values, we suggest using décor elements that can be easily found around your home. Think branches of palm trees or pinecones for a table garland and arrangement of fruits and vegetables, like pomegranates, oranges and mangoes.
6. Scents Matter.
To create a festive ambiance, scents are key! Dry cinnamon sticks and fruits add a Christmas feel, flower centre pieces look beautiful and smell fresh & divine, herbs can be used not only for cooking, but as a decor element!
7. Sustainable Decor.
Create a beautifully styled table settings using natural materials. Go for cloth napkins instead of paper and invest in pieces you will reuse in the future, like our timeless Puik glassware.
Festive Tip: For something a little extra, create special ice cubes for the drinks, filled with berries and mint leaves.
