One aspect of Christmas that sets it apart from the rest of the the year is that it’s usually a time when we have to host (and feed) a larger number of people than at any other time of the year. Often this leads to furniture stress as we find that the dining table isn’t big enough, there aren’t enough chairs and Auntie Edna can’t get up from the sofa. But with a bit of forethought, hosting for Christmas doesn’t have to be chaotic and stressful, and Peppermill Interiors has come up with some ways to make your furniture work for you when hosting for loved ones at Christmas. Read on for tips on how to make things smooth, effortless and practical!
The Extending Dining Table
Inviting more guests around your table has never been easier with an extending dining table. This Padstow model makes the day feel seamless by simply extending to create more space for dining, playing games and chatting all evening long. Perfect for country farmhouse inspired kitchens or dining rooms, the Padstow is hand crafted with natural oak and will be the showstopping, characterful addition to your dining room this Christmas.
Space Saving Drinks Storage
Creating new drink concoctions from your home bar or dining room this Christmas can feel organised and effortless with a drinks cabinet. The stunning Arizona has a solid cornice top the perfect height to rest a drinks tray while you prepare your favourite cocktails. Featuring symmetrically carved palm leaf motifs on each door and a spacious interior with two removable wooden shelves, the Arizona Drinks Cabinet is the perfect space saving storage that will ensure your evening drinks run smoothly.
Creative Kitchen Island
A kitchen island is the ideal way to serve buffet food. The mobile Zinc Top Kitchen Island is a lovely, rustic companion to your kitchen, and the ideal space to get creative with food and a buffet spread. Store your cocktail making tools, pots and pans in the pull-out storage crates, and your recipe books on the slatted base of this kitchen island.
Spacious Bench
Rather than struggling with individual seating, a dining bench is a great way to utilise space for all of your guests. The traditional Tavistock invites elegance and class to your dining room, with plenty of natural, rustic charm, and French country details like authentic original wood grain and baluster legs with delicate detailing. Pair the Tavistock Bench with the Tavistock Dining Table which brings the same elegance and class to your dining space.
Festive Decor
What says Christmas better than aesthetically pleasing festive decor? Inspire the warm, Christmas spirit in your guests by creating the perfect tabletop that includes an enchanting centrepiece, Christmas crackers, candles and elegant cutlery. The Castle Dining Table shown here with its a stunning reclaimed pine finish is the perfect base for your festive decor.
