We welcome the New Year and say goodbye to the old: New Year’s Eve is the time for doing a little extra when it comes to dressing up, eating delicious meals, having sparkling drinks - and when it comes to setting a beautiful table.
A beautiful table setting can create a delightful atmosphere for a dinner party, and it doesn’t have to be expensive or time consuming. In this blog post, we will inspire you to set a table for New Year’s Eve that will impress your guests.
Set the scene with lanterns and candles
Before you do anything else, plan how to create an intimate, festive and traditional New Year’s Eve dinner party. Make a collection of pillar candles on a tray on the table or simply put all your candlesticks and tealight candle holders on the table - they don’t have to match to look amazing together.
Focus on the whole room and not just on the dinner table. Place lanterns and candles in the room as a backdrop for the table setting. When including the entire room in your decoration, that’s where the truly magical atmosphere emerges: Your guests will be enchanted, encircled by flickering lights.
Mix and match your tableware
Now, concentrate on the tableware. Plates and bowls don’t have to belong to the same collection to match.
Use the vases as statement centrepieces on the table: Style them with branches and flowers and don’t forget that it should be easy for your guests to converse across the table. If your vases and flowers are very tall, place them at the end of the table.
Artificial flowers make decorating the table for New Year’s Eve even easier. You can do it well in advance, as the flowers maintain their fresh appearance. And as a bonus, they keep their beautiful looks for a long time to come.
The most important thing is to have fun and create memories for you and your guests. With a little creativity and a touch of JYSK, your New Year's Eve table setting will do just that.
Happy New Year!
