Holiday Entertaining

From Diwali’s first diya to Christmas crackers and New Year toasts, this is the season for generous tables and effortless hosting. Our festive dining edit brings together statement pieces from Liang & Eimil and Richmond Interiors – sculptural forms, elegant proportions and materials that feel luxurious yet liveable.

This year’s story is stone tops with soul. Travertine-inspired surfaces add warmth and character, while porcelain and sintered-stone give you the look with superb resistance to stains, etching and scratches – ideal for real life. If you love natural tactility, choose sealed travertine or engineered stone for robust, authentic depth. Prefer the glow of timber under candlelight? Solid wood offers timeless beauty and can be refinished for decades; high-quality veneer delivers striking grain on a stable core. For pure drama, marble remains spectacular – it simply rewards a little care. Finished with accents in antique brass, satin gold or matt black, these pieces are made to set the scene – and keep the celebration flowing.
