“We are currently seeing the latest trends and attitudes around making up for lost time impacting how people use their home and indeed their kitchen,” a spokesperson for the brand said. “There is a palpable hunger for glamorous, celebratory moments which bring people together—especially around the table.”

This “free-spirited sentiment” underpins the brand’s latest Christmas colour palette, which centres around Cerise, a bold cherry-red shade, Deep Teal, a vibrant jewel shade and “hints of shimmer and shine”. It’s a classic festive combination, but with a modern edge, as the teal hue presents a stylish alternative to a more traditional green shade.

When it comes to the products themselves, bigger, statement pieces are making a comeback, as we’re finally able to celebrate on a bigger scale rather than sticking to smaller family groups. “As the first Christmas for a few years that’s not been overshadowed by a pandemic, people are excited to host large groups once again,” the brand’s spokesperson said. “We’re therefore seeing people wanting to make a statement with their tableware,” they added, citing the Signature Round Casserole as a standout option that really makes an impact.

These are the colours to add to your festive tablescape, according to Le Creuset
