Divine Dining
If you love to host friends and family, then having the right entertaining space is key. Our dining collections feature large dining tables like the beautiful Willow with pedestal legs and oval table tabletop. This elegant design will elevate your dining space and the design details including the wood tones and slatted legs give a Scandi-inspired feel.
Style your dining table with soft boucle style chairs to complement the natural wood table. Alternatively, choose velvet dining chairs to add texture and a touch of luxury perfect for Valentine’s Day.
For smaller dining spaces, round tables work well and are perfect for intimate dinners for two. The Jade round dining table in jet black makes a style statement. Pair with our cosy Freya armchairs in green velvet for a striking balance. Dark tones in furniture and subtle lighting will add to the relaxed ambience of Valentine’s evening.
Tablescaping
The art of tablescaping is not just for Christmas, you can enjoy creating themed tablescapes throughout the year. You may completely relish in table decorating for Valentine’s Day whether that’s using romantic colours like pinks and reds, scattering rose petals across the table or having a vase of full of flowers as a centrepiece for a simple touch. Add a few pretty candles at the centre of the table to create effective lighting and mood.
If you are playing host for friends, then you could create elegant place settings using napkin rings and coordinated place mats and coasters. The main thing is to have some fun and spark your creativity.
Serving trays like our Grazeley or Bosco are ideal for creating sharing platters with delicious nibbles starters such as bread and olives.

Consider your Valentine’s Day décor, which goes beyond the table decorations, think mood lighting, scented candles, and music.
Whether you are sitting in the dining room or relaxing on the sofa create the ambience with subtle lighting. The Sutton table lamp is made with smoked glass offering contemporary design with a stylish subtle glow, perfect for a sideboard or living room side table.
Alternatively, stick with the Valentine’s Day mood and try our Elland lamp in pink glass, the fluted glass offers a touch of elegance. Having tea lights and candles dotted around are a wonderful way to enhance the relaxing mood. Our range of candle holders and lanterns are perfect to add to the mantelpiece or dining table.
