Well, the short answer is anything that brings the wow-factor to your table but doesn’t prevent your guests from enjoying the pleasure of each other’s company.

If you are after some inspiration, here some easy ideas for gorgeous centrepieces:

1. Statement Pieces – add large decorative accessories (ceramics, glass, wooden or metal), vases and jugs

2. Floral Arrangements – place plants, branches, feathers, flower arrangements (in vases or jugs), single stem flowers (in bud vases) at the centre of your tablescape

3. Lights and Candles – decorate your centrepiece using fairy lights (in vases or draped around trees or other decorative accessories), lanterns, candle holders and votives

4. Repurposed Objects – use decorative accessories from elsewhere in the home. For example, add photo frames, trinkets, books, boards, vases, jugs and beautiful glass bottles

5. Collections – curate a collection of decorative accessories to make your stunning centrepiece. Play with height, texture and depth.
