Decoration

Whether for a special occasion or just for your own pleasure, discover ways to delight your guests with original, tasteful decoration!

Choosing coulours

In general, no more than three colours should be used on a table to ensure that the overall look remains harmonious.

Shades of white (white, beige and mole grey) are ideal for an elegant look.

Shades of green (khaki, lime green and yellow) are perfect for summery and outdoor meals.

Prefer warmer shades (red, orange and a hint of lime green) for a meal amongst friends because you can use them to create a fun atmosphere.

Table centrepieces

Adapt to the shape of your table: a round centrepiece for a round table and a long one for a rectangular table.

Ensure that your installation is stable: forget about layers of pots and candlesticks! Also think about the height of the centrepiece and how much room it will take up on the table. It should not hinder conversation amongst guests or the handing of dishes.
