The dinner table becomes the centrepiece on Christmas Day, and decorating it should always be a fun activity, not a stressful one! Preparing your table on Christmas Eve will ease any stress on Christmas Day when you want to be spending time with friends and family.

Whether you have recently moved into your new home, or you just want some fresh Christmas decor ideas, we’ve got you covered – here are some of our tableware favourites from Next and Anthropologie.

Next always has some great home decor options around the festive period. The Set of 4 Spode Christmas Tree Double Old-Fashioned Glasses adds a vintage feel to your dinner table. Christmas can hold a lot of nostalgia for so many people, and these glasses are great if you love the more traditional decor at Christmas whilst still being modern and matching with anything gold.

Every household needs a serving platter for nibbles and snacks for the family. This Oakley Ceramic Serving Platter would be great for the dinner table or even in the living room when everyone is spending time together and playing games.

Anthropologie has a great selection of fun and beautiful Christmas products. Add a bit of atmosphere to your table with the Jenny Glass Luminary, which casts a warm gold glow to any room with a candle of your choice inside. The great thing about this product is that it can be displayed all year round- not just at Christmas!

Add some decoration to your Christmas dinner table with Anthropologie’s Pinecone/Fir Garland. The woodland theme for Christmas is great to add some natural touches to your home whilst creating a cosy feel that will match your other decorations.

Christmas cutlery may seem extravagant to some people, but if you want your dining table to look completely different to any other time of the year, then having gold cutlery could be an option! This Anthropologie Streamlined Flatwarewould be brilliant to add something special to your tableware, whether you have a gold theme running throughout your home or if you just want a change from the traditional silver cutlery that most of us have year-round.

Want to coordinate with your gold cutlery? The Felicity Charger Plate will be perfect. This ornate plate from Anthropologie will nicely complement your white dishes, adding a touch of Christmas glamour to your table.
