Christmas may well be a very different affair this year. Our Christmas dining tables may be welcoming a much smaller crowd. All the more reason why everything should be perfect. If you are only catering for a small gathering, make them feel extra special by going all out with your dining table décor. Whether you opt for minimalist chic or full on Christmas kitsch, make sure every item you choose is the best it can be. If you are tired of your usual Christmas décor, check out a few modern Christmas décor ideas. And see how some of our favourite bloggers style their Christmas dining table.
Dress Up Your Dining Table
Bring out the best festive china and layer your place settings with chargers, dinner plates and starter or dessert plates. We particularly like the Sketch set by Royal Crown Derby – monochrome, understated but with a lovely gold accent and a modern twist. Invest in some glamorous new glassware (we just love these champagne flutes from The White Company). Polish up the silverware, and make the most of Lockdown II by browsing magazines and online for dining table décor inspiration. So, where to start? With your dining table, of course. We have put together our pick of the best luxury dining tables for a spectacular, albeit small, Christmas gathering.
Our Top 10 Small Dining Tables
Ideal for two, four or six, with plenty of room for the turkey and all the trimmings. Let the beauty of deep-veined marble and bronze shine with minimal decoration.
A spectacular dining table and a departure from the norm. Striking Canaletto walnut contrasts beautifully with the Onice capuccino marble. Why not seat guests at one end with all the festive food at the other? Which end you choose depends on the size of your party.

Everyone loves a round table, especially at Christmas. Again, you can create your own fabulous dining table with a choice of metallic finishes, gloss or matt lacquers and exquisite wood veneers.
