Summer 2024 - 76

C&F sees themed serveware, barware, table linens
and ornaments donning holiday tables this year,
creating a centerpiece for gatherings - and the more
elaborate, the merrier.
HOLIDAY GIFTING:
2023's TOP 5 TOY GIFTS
FOR KIDS
" Layering is key. You can start with a basic staple
placemat, then layer other mats, chargers, napkins
and runners along with festive hard good decorations
to create a more formal or more casual look depending
on the situation, " Hall said. " Tabletops are easy
to switch out throughout the season for different
occasions. That staple layer to build upon is key.
Additionally, I'd plan for trends that can work for not
just Christmas, but also carry through New Year's and
winter in general. Snowflakes are a classic icon, but
still trending and being interpreted in new ways. "
HOME DÉCOR TOUCHES
Rising holiday décor themes for 2024 are nostalgia/
vintage for the traditional consumer, as well as
incorporating dark hues for a high-contrast look that
modern, trendy decorators love. Carryover trends
from 2023 include pastels, gingerbread and woodland.
" Woodland is hot. Think mushrooms, deer, birds,
forest colors and creatures, " Parker said. " Or if you're
not into that look, go with a red and white theme like
baking or gingerbread - either mini or oversized. "
