Decoration for the Christmas table 

Christmas dinner is one of the most awaited moments of the season, so there is nothing better than to prepare a table that’s well-decorated and suited to your taste. 

Place markers

Surprise your guests with personalized place markers! This is a small detail that will make all the difference in the visual impact and certainly create a reaction of surprise and appreciation from the guests.

Decorative wooden discs

Wooden discs are quite versatile and are easily included in a Christmas decoration. They can serve as a base for decorative ornaments like candles and vases, or even for serving dishes. Let your imagination run wild!

Star-shaped bowls

Combine several bowls with each other, or mix with round plates. These bowls give a special touch to the Christmas table without stealing attention from the rest of the decoration. In these star bowls, all the elements can be organized with great elegance, and can even serve to offer homemade cookies or nuts to your guests.

Decorative pine trees

The traditional Christmas pine tree can be present in another way, like these decorative pine trees from Asa Selection. They are available in three different sizes, allowing you to place them in small groups or individually, adding a different touch to your Christmas table.

Ceramic plate with pine trees

With a winter design, this ceramic plate is the perfect base for serving snacks (cookies, nuts or chocolates) to your guests. You can also use it as decoration in the center of the dining table, on a side table or on a sideboard.

Napkin rings

A napkin ring is pure elegance! It is an important accessory to decorate your Christmas table and one that you can use not only this year, but the years to come. Preferably, wrap each ring in a cloth napkin of a neutral color for a more sophisticated decorating style.

Decoration for living room, entrance hall and bedrooms

Decorate every room for Christmas! In fact, the decoration items we suggest here are very versatile. You can display them on the dining table as well as in any other area of the house, from the foyer to the living room.

Christmas tree set

This type of decorative element completes an environment that is elegant and, above all, cozy. This Stelton set, with simple lines, is composed of two trees of different sizes. Its brushed brass coating adds a modern touch to your home decor.

Decorative Christmas Tree

To replace the traditional Christmas tree or as a decorative complement, the Alessi Christmas trees are the perfect choice! Its magnetic decorations (six balls and a star) allow you to enrich and personalize your tree with photos or Christmas cards. It's not only an object of Christmas decoration, it's a true container of memories and affections.

Ornaments for the Christmas tree

The Christmas tree is arguably the main element of Christmas decoration. Are you looking for a fun and colorful style, or a sober style that merges with the current decor of the room? In this latter case, neutral tones, gold, brown and green are effectively the best choice. 

Bells

Despite being an object considered archaic, the bell is a very special ornament that you can hang on the Christmas tree, on windows and doors, or even display on a centerpiece. We love the Alessi 'Holy Family' collection of bells where the Christmas characters are represented: Baby Jesus, Joseph, Mary, Star of Bethlehem, Angel, Wise Men, Cow, and Donkey. The design of these bells has the signature of Marcel Wanders, and they are wonderful!

Geometrical ornaments

Because of their simple lines, geometric ornaments meet a sober and minimalist style, but also modern and graceful.

Animated ornament

Can't resist fun ornaments? Then check out this reinvention of old Christmas decorations. These vintage-style accessories can be hung on the Christmas tree or placed around the house to foster the holiday spirit.

Lighting

Does Christmas awaken your romantic side? Then you really need to place spotlights in the various rooms of the house, especially in the living room, even in a subtle way. 

Lantern

Light up your home and make it cozy with our lanterns to create a magical Christmas mood! Lanterns are great allies in decorating. They provide a warm and elegant atmosphere.

Candle holder

Candles are a way to offer more luminosity to a house. We suggest these copper candle holders, since this tone provides glamour and the nobility of the mate harmonizes perfectly with other decoration elements you already have at home.

Christmas crib

In addition to its religious symbolism, the Christmas crib is also a decorative element these days. This representation of the birth of the baby Jesus is available in several styles. Choose yours!
