The holiday season is finally upon us. And while it may look a little different than years past, the magic and warmth of the holidays is a welcomed change to what we’ve seen in 2020!  In preparation for hosting, we are taking notes from some of our favorite designers and how they have styled dining spaces to create the perfect setting for holiday memories to be made.

Double the Fun

Dining Room Chandeliers - Hosting

Why have one, when you could have two? These dining spaces boast not one, but two gorgeous chandeliers. Double fixtures work well in large dining spaces where a large table resides. This grand addition makes a big impact, and would set the stage for a breathtaking holiday tablescape!

Country Elegance

Nothing says “welcome and relax” quite like a country home. The fresh colors and rustic accents make us all want to take a deep breath and settle in with a sweet tea. In the dining room setting, you will find casual elegance in natural colors and materials. The perfect backdrop for a fun family thanksgiving gathering.

Modern Traditional

Modern traditional fixtures blend the best of two worlds. Easy to dress up or down, these fixture styles create the perfect ambiance for casual and formal gatherings alike. Sit back, relax, and have someone pass the Spiced Cider!

Casual Comfort

Perhaps a formal dining setting isn’t really your “thing,” which is totally okay! There is something cozy and comforting about an informal gathering that makes everyone feel right at home. The fixtures above your eat-in dining space should add just the right amount of character, making this space ready to go from pancakes in the morning to a turkey dinner in the evening. 

Make a Statement

Statement Lighting - Hosting

If making a statement before the place settings are down is more your style, than fixtures that pack a punch all on their own are a favorite choice! Providing that year-round wow factor, statement fixtures act as functional artwork – both impressing your guests and giving off that warm, welcoming glow.
