Four Colour Combinations That Make the Table Setting Magical in December
December is filled with dinners, gatherings and moments that deserve to feel a little extra inviting. A beautiful table setting sets the mood – and with linen, it becomes both effortless and timeless. The fabric softly catches the light, adds natural texture to the table and creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere with very little effort.
Here we share four harmonious colour combinations that instantly elevate the table. Perfect when you want to create a personal, elegant and inviting table setting during the most atmospheric month of the year.
1. Misty Stripe Forest tablecloth + Lovely Jeep Green napkins
A soft forest-toned linen tablecloth with subtle stripes creates a calm, living base. Paired with Jeep Green napkins, the result is a natural contrast that feels both harmonious and grounded.
This combination is perfect if you’re looking for a clean, stylish table setting with a warm Nordic expression – ideal for both everyday meals and special occasions.
2. Misty Edge Real Red tablecloth + Lovely Real Red napkins
Red doesn’t have to be loud – here it settles into a deep, elegant tone. A linen tablecloth in Real Red wraps the table in warmth, while matching solid-colour napkins enhance the festive feel.
A combination that stands beautifully on its own and creates instant atmosphere.
3. Lovely Jeep Green tablecloth + Lovely Avocado napkins
Two green tones that come together in a modern, harmonious look. A Jeep Green tablecloth provides a calm and steady base, while Avocado napkins add freshness and energy.
An ideal choice if you love a nature-inspired table – relaxed, vibrant and thoughtfully styled.
4. Lovely Cabernet tablecloth + Lovely Real Red napkins
Cabernet is the colour that brings depth and character to the room. A linen tablecloth in Cabernet paired with Real Red napkins creates a sophisticated, warm setting where every detail feels intentional.
This combination is ideal for evenings by candlelight – when you want the table to feel intimate and welcoming.
Tips for creating the right atmosphere
- Colour combinations do a lot, but small details enhance the overall feeling even more.
- Mix textures – linen, ceramics, glass and natural materials create balance and depth.
- Frame the table with greenery such as pine, spruce or eucalyptus.
- Vary the height of candles to create a soft, warm glow.
- Keep it personal – tie the napkins with string or add a small sprig for a thoughtful touch.
