Wow Christmas Mix it ups!

As festive colour schemes are no longer just basic red, white and green; at times finding a stimulating combination for the dining room place settings can be a challenge.

"Now that we have embrace hues like coral, fushia, gold, bronze, blue and silver as holiday colors, these seemingly endless palette possibilities are further increased by pattern combination options as well." Charmaine Wynter

Because we've been frequently asked "How do you combine patterns so successfully?" we've devised a basic step by step guide to aid you in creating balanced pattern combinations that will give you that perfect place setting you see in fine decor magazines every time.
                                                                                                                                                                        Three points you should remember when decorating your dining room table are as follows:

1.  Combine repetitive patterns with overall patterns to create a multi-dimensional look.
2.   Layering textiles with related colours will add interest to the design.
3.   Don’t forget that adding a solid hued place setting to your layered look can neutralize additional patterns. Victoria Seguin
