Holiday Dining

The holiday seasons have become quite stressful and more like a duty to fulfil for your family. It involves stress, so much money, and more stress. This year, our aim is to give a new meaning to it. We want to create fresh memories and make the occasion we host in our homes count once again, instead of just completing a task.

You can make a much wiser investment by putting thought and effort into the whole style of your holiday, and the sharing of your home by hosting wonderful dinners and an unforgettable atmosphere.

We spend masses of time and money on gifts for everyone, that might not be valued enough to make it worth the while. Instead, we could be adapting our traditions, by investing in our homes in a way that enables us to share memorable moments and a loving atmosphere for our friends and family. This way , we will ensure happiness and great appreciation, as well as being able to create a story in our home, that we get to tell, live and remember to build on for further traditions.

It is time to let go of some of the older traditions of which we have probably forgotten the meaning by now, and rather embrace the new ones, that have evolved over time, by opening up to new family members, emotions and hearts filled with warmth.

To begin with... THINK BIG ! The reward winning Danish Designers from Skovby, have created just the right dining tables for these type of occasions.

The very modern and intelligent design, allows for functionality, style and great practical use within your beautiful home. It turns a modest size table in the kind that can hold a feast for up to 20 people.

These are just a couple of examples, picked out from a wider selection of the Skovby Furniture range made mainly of Walnut and Oak Veneers in natural oil and lacquered finishes.

One of the main aspects that will create the ultimate WOW effect, is the experience of the actual meal you will serve.

In this case, absolutely EVERYTHING that comes across the table, will be important and leave an impression.

Therefore it is quite important to use the right serving dishes and decorate the table nicely. Don't exaggerate the decoration though - no one feels comfortable on a cluttered dining table - keep it minimalistic and original. The style and design of the whole display, works almost as a separate appetizer, and will create more enthusiasm to taste the delicious food.

Here a few examples of our WMF collection from Germany.
