Deck the halls – or at least the dining table – with these lovely seasonal placemats. The Christmas table always takes centre stage during the festive season, so make sure it looks its best – you can leave these placemats in situ while the decorations are up to add a festive feel.
If you think that having placemats you only use for four weeks a year is a bit extravagant, we’ve also included some plainer options that you can use all year round – dress them up at Christmas with holly sprigs, gold paper stars or ribbon.
