If you’re anything like us, you’ll be looking forward to Christmas celebrations more this year than ever before. Completely understandable!
Since so many of us will be spending the holiday season here in HK, it’s an ideal time to go to town on the festive décor in our homes.
As the Indigo team says, it’s all about celebrating and being grateful for those around us and the moments we have together.
So, here’s their easy-peasy guide to setting up a smorgasbord of Christmas delight in your own home. (Dare we say, Yule thank us for it…)
#1 Decide on a Theme
Every momentous Christmas feast begins with a stunning table-scape. Whether you’re going for the classic red and green pairing or a contemporary setting, pick a theme that you can go all out with!
#2 Gather Your Supplies
Plan ahead and figure out all the pieces you need – think gleaming ornaments, celebratory linens, modern vases and other eye-catching décor.
#3 Organise Your Linen
Generally speaking, a crisp white linen table-runner will do. But if you’re looking to up the ante this year, go for one with subtle prints on it.
