Tell me the colors of your Christmas and I'll tell you who you are.
- Gold = energy.
Light, wealth, and power. Gold is associated with the light of the sun's rays, able to transmit strength and warmth.
If you choose to bring this color to the table, you will give your table energy and movement. You can choose it for under plates or for glasses, but also for cutlery or napkins. - Red is power.
Always associated with royal clothing, red is a symbol of strength, power, luxury. But also love, welcome and life.
Choosing red for your table is an act of love. Simple and pure. Ideally, you should use it not exactly for everything. An example? If you choose a red tablecloth, tone it down with light accessories. Or, if the tablecloth is light, play with red accessories. - Silver Wisdom.
But also experience and nobility of spirit. A silver Christmas is one of elegance and solemnity. An invitation to seek within oneself what, usually, one seeks outside. Silver can be used for cutlery, under plates, goblets. But also for the bread plate. - White as freedom.
Yes, because it's not so much purity that inspires this color, as the ability to set you free from conventions and to mix tastes and styles. A color that can meet all needs. With white you can do everything, the important thing is to add the right amount of color. - Green, a great classic.
Color of tradition, which evokes the echo of Christmases passed with joy, happiness, love. A family love that warms the heart. But better than that on the table it is in small doses, for the water glasses, for example. Or for the details of the serving dishes.
Will the perfect color of your Christmas be a mix?
A Christmas table, however, can also play on different mixes and tricks.
You could choose a white tablecloth, the old ones, and start from there for your mix.
White will be your base, but you can have fun with the accessories and choose, for example, a set of gold cutlery, to be combined with plates with delicate red decoration. And if it seems that in this mix green and silver clash, it's only because you haven't thought about the centerpieces yet. Here you can have fun with compositions designed ad hoc.
