Evenings with friends and family in the dark season of the year invite you to set the table and decorate it with lovely details. This is not only an aesthetic feast for the eyes, but also a precious gift – it not only emphasizes the culinary enjoyment, but also creates an atmosphere that makes the get-together an unforgettable experience. Each DIY that we show you on the following pages reflects this appreciation for the time spent together.
Checkliste
(1.) THE RIGHT COLORS:Choose a harmonious color palette that suits the occasion and the season.
(2) CREATE A CENTERPIECE: Choose a centerpiece for the table – whether a flower vase, candle arrangement or a decorative object. It forms the centerpiece of the table decoration.
(3) DETAILS: Pay attention to small details such as name cards, napkin rings or the napkins that give the table a personal touch – you will find lots of inspiration for this on the following pages.
(4) LIGHT: Playing with light effects – candles, fairy lights or table lamps – makes every decoration perfect and creates a cozy atmosphere.
(5) FUNCTIONALITY: Even the most beautiful table decoration will get on your guests‘ nerves if it compromises functionality. All guests should have enough space for food and drinks and be able to look and talk across the table – the balance between aesthetics and practicality is crucial.
