3 Tips: how to set your holiday table

How to set a Holiday Table?

First, choose a theme: Decide on a theme or color scheme for your holiday table. This could be traditional, modern, rustic, or anything else that fits your style. Coordinate your tablecloth, napkins, centerpieces, and other decorative elements to create a cohesive look.

Second, create a centerpiece: A beautiful centerpiece can instantly elevate your holiday table. Consider using a festive floral arrangement, a seasonal fruit display, or even a collection of candles to add a touch of elegance to your table. Make sure the centerpiece is not too tall or obstructive, allowing guests to see and converse with each other comfortably.

Third, pay attention to details: Small details can make a big difference in creating the perfect holiday table. Use decorative place cards or personalized name tags to add a special touch for each guest. Consider adding festive touches like holiday-themed napkin rings, miniature ornaments, or small seasonal decor items. Don't forget to ensure there are enough utensils, glasses, and plates for each course of the meal.

By following these tips, you can set a holiday table that is both visually appealing and functional for your guests to enjoy.

Sustainable furniture in Marin County

Prevalent Projects is one of my favorite interior design stores in Marin County. They offer sustainable, non toxic furniture in downtown Mill Valley, California. I love their Scandinavian - Japanese design style (Japandi). As a local Mill Valley Interior Designer I love resourcing at Prevalent Projects for my clients in Marin and San Francisco.

One of my favorite Marin County home design store is Prevalent Projects based in downtown Mill Valley. The furniture and home goods sold at Prevalent Projects reflect exactly my personal interior design style. Emphasizing a Japanese/Scandinavian (Japandi) aesthetic, the wide selection features transitional looks that can fit seamlessly into your home right alongside other styles.

I love to offer a warm, cozy comfort of Scandinavian style — think hygge — to my clients. Prevalent Projects sells many of my favorite brands that are difficult to find in the U. S. I’m originally from Switzerland and know most of their brands from living in Europe. Many of the chairs remind me of my time in Copenhagen. There’s nothing to like about Scandinavian Design. It makes everybody happy that appreciates high quality design which means sustainable material from Europe.

If you ever visit Mill Valley go and visit Prevalent Projects which is right across from The Depot restaurant.

Shopping at Prevalent Projects can be an investment but well worth it. You will keep your furniture or home good for years to come. If you need some assistant with choosing the right pieces, I’m available for a successful shopping trip on an hourly basis.
