There are various ways of approaching the Christmas aesthetic: one is to go all-out sumptuous, with red, golds and greens. The other is to keep it pared back, cosy and calm, as with this inviting scene.

Look 2: Rustic And Natural
In all likelihood, there will not be many of us taking our feasting outdoors this Christmas (good riddance pandemic). However, this scene would be just as magical if picked up and placed indoors. As ever, it’s all in the lighting.

Look 3: Black And Gold
Keeping the lighting low and ambient is the first rule of setting a really winning Christmas table. We love this dark, brooding scene with its accents of magic thanks to its mirrored baubles and soft candle- and fairy-light.

Look 4: Traditional And Comforting
If there was ever a time to stick to tradition, Christmas is it. They bring comfort, joy and much merriment. We would like to climb inside this tableau and take up our place at this festive table. Instead, we shall have to recreate it ourselves.

Look 5: White Christmas
Are you dreaming of a white Christmas? None of us has the meteorological
power to make this happen, but we can at least set the scene indoors. This calm and soothing scene would make a Christmas lunch dream.
