16 Dec 2025

The end-of-year period is the perfect time to get together, enjoy good food, share warmth and create unforgettable memories. A beautifully decorated dinner table instantly creates a festive atmosphere. With these 5 tips and the warmth of the Spaas flame, you are sure to bring your guests closer together. 

1. Put together a festive colour palette

Start with a clear colour palette that suits your style. Classic red and green instantly create a Christmas atmosphere, while silver and white give a modern winter look. If you don't have the budget for new decorations, see what accessories you already have. Complement these with festive napkins, stylish candles and possibly a table runner in the same shades to create a harmonious whole.

2. Mix materials and textures

A table really comes to life when you play with different materials. Combine shiny cutlery with linen napkins, crystal glasses with wooden accents. This mix of textures gives your table depth and makes it visually interesting. Do you like to be creative and want to save some money? Then take a walk in the woods. With pine branches, pine cones or tree bark, you can put together lots of fun table decorations yourself.

3. Create a centrepiece with character

A centrepiece is the heart of your table. Think of a combination of evergreens, Christmas baubles and elegant Spaas dinner candles in burgundy or ivory. You could add a scented candle for a subtle fragrance that will immediately put your guests in a festive mood.

4. Add highlights for atmosphere

Candles are the perfect way to create a festive atmosphere. Place dinner candles in stylish holders, scatter tealights and rustic candles across the table, and choose a few candles in glass holders that beautifully reflect the light. The soft flickering of the flame not only provides warmth, but also creates a sense of connection. Because the warmth of the Spaas flame brings people closer together.

5. Add a personal touch

Want to really wow your guests and make them feel at home right away? Add small personal details that will put a smile on their faces: a handwritten name card, a sparkling mocktail for those who are designated drivers, or a small gift on each chair. This personal touch adds a little magic and creates an evening full of memories.
