Hosting is an art, and at Christmas we rediscover its joy
Hosting is an art, and at Christmas we rediscover its joy. Where to begin? Definitely with an elegant Christmas table. For a striking result, you can opt for a creative, minimal-chic or traditional style. Alternatively, unleash your imagination and combine different styles. Here are some ideas for an out-of-the-ordinary Christmas table.
Which tablecloth to choose for Christmas? What colour? Are Christmas runners a good idea? Can stain-resistant Christmas tablecloths be used? Let's start by saying there are no set rules. Certainly, the Christmas table should differ from the everyday one, but it's better not to exaggerate with excessive decorations, oversized centrepieces and scented candles. Elegance meets simplicity.
For a truly effective mise-en-place, we suggest you to focus on the star of the table: the tablecloth. Choose one in a precious fabric, pure linen or embroidered cotton, and opt for a unique Christmas tablecloth with a striking pattern. Now you just need to follow your creativity: you can tie the napkin with a sprig of mistletoe, create cute seat markers and write your menu on paper stars. Your Christmas table is ready to amaze!
The Christmas table should be elegant and fairytale-like, but mainly playful and decorated with cheerful, festive and slightly wild colours. Tablecloths embellished with Christmas patterns (link to TTT tablecloths) take us back in time, evoking the tradition we loved as children. Enhance the setting with fanciful decorations such as a low centrepiece adorned with pine sprigs or berries. When you set the table for dinner, elevate the atmosphere with candles in unexpected colours like magenta for the red tablecloth, orange for the grey or green one. If the table is large, use matching Christmas runners to enrich the Christmas mise-en-place and create harmonious combinations. Play with tableware, serving, for example, cappelletti in broth in refined teacups. Long story short, unleash your creativity: the perfect Christmas table is the one that amazes and excites you!
Everyone has their own idea of elegance. Some love a minimal-chic table setting even during the holidays, while others embrace tradition, losing themselves in the Christmas atmosphere. Whatever your style is, choosing the right tablecloth is not simple and it depends on the atmosphere you want for your Christmas dinner. Fabrics have a key role to play. For a cozy Christmas, cotton tablecloths are perfect. Linen tablecloths add a more sophisticated and elegant touch, and they are also easy to wash and highly durable. Then there are linen-blend tablecloths, characterized by a high-quality fabric that enhances the table setting with style. Whether your Christmas tablecloth is round or square, red or green, it will look stunning only if it has a flawless weave. Tessitura Toscana Telerie Christmas tablecloths are perfect if you aim to bring true tradition to the table. They are crafted from the art of weaving pure linen and cotton fine fibres with the magical threads of authentic Italian style.
The moment has finally come! It’s time to show off the chicest Christmas tablecloths. But which one to choose? There are many types of elegant Christmas tablecloths. You're spoiled for choice: stain-resistant Christmas tablecloths when children are around, wrinkle free Christmas tablecloths when you don’t want to waste your precious time, embroidered Christmas tablecloths when you want to win your mum over, tartan Christmas tablecloths when you have lunch at your mountain house, fairytale-like tablecloths like those proposed by Tessitura Toscana Telerie. Each fantasy is inspired by a joyful and poetic Christmas tale. And that’s why the refinement of the fabrics blends with notes of festive bands, trains filled with smiling bears, fir trees surrounded by curious animals, sparkling snowflakes, and wishing whispers—creating a table that holds all the magic of Christmas.
