A Nod to Nostalgia

This season, embrace vintage-inspired elements for a tablescape that’s steeped in charm but not stuck in the past. Antique-style accents—like ornate candelabras, fine china, and silverware—make a comeback, especially when paired with linens that evoke nostalgia, like tartan plaid, lace, and woven metallics. Mixing these classic touches with contemporary pieces creates a look that’s timeless yet modern, ensuring your holiday setup feels just right for 2024.

Seasonal Sparkles

There’s no such thing as too much sparkle during the holidays. Whether you’re going bold (looking at you, Helena Midnight and Metropolitans) or opting for a more understated shimmer (think The Jules), a splash of shimmer is a holiday tablescape essential. We’re all for layering different metallic tones with luxurious textures—hello, velvets!—for a setup that brings all the glam. For an unexpected twist, consider shades like Millennial Purple or Blue; they add a hint of holiday luxe without the usual red-and-green routine.

Winter Blues

Blue hues are stealing the spotlight this season, transforming tablescapes into winter wonderlands with an elegant, frosty twist. For a bold, rich look, try layering deep shades like Navy, Ocean, and Deep Sea velvets, then mix in metallics like Palmiers Slate, Metropolitan Aqua, Barcode Navy, or Panache Navy for a sophisticated glow. Embrace the magic of pairing blues of different textures and tones—whether velvets or shimmery metallics—to create a holiday palette that’s both classic and contemporary, bringing an icy yet cozy ambiance to your celebrations.

Berry Merry

Rich reds are holiday classics, but this season’s berry-inspired shades bring a fresh twist to the table. Rosamond Burgundy’s bold floral print balances femininity and festivity, while Velvet Merlot’s plush wine hue adds warmth and luxe appeal. For a bright pop of color, try Montana Suede Lipstick, or go neutral with Lexington Linen, accented by rosy florals and colored glassware. With these juicy hues, your tablescape will be as merry and vibrant as the season itself.

Playful Plaids

Plaids are holiday staples, but this year, they’re getting a stylish update. Mix and match different plaids for a punk-inspired edge with our Tartan Plaid Holly Berry and Scottish Evergreen Plaid, or choose a neutral pattern like Weston Wheat Plaid for a down-to-earth vibe and accent with a colored napkin. For a layered look that’s both rustic and luxe, try pairing Rustic Plaid Midnight with Velvet Hazel, finishing the look with Emilie Dove Grey napkins. This cozy combo brings the warmth of a fireside holiday gathering straight to your table.

Tie It Up with a Bow

Bows and coquette details are having a major moment, adding a playful and chic touch to holiday tablescapes. From tying napkins with dainty bows to adorning candlesticks with a ribbon accent, bows channel the charm of classic holiday wrapping and add a touch of elegance to your setup. It’s a simple detail, but one that instantly elevates your tablescape with a little seasonal magic.
