6 hanging Christmas centrepiece ideas you can DIY
Hanging Christmas centrepieces over dining tables are having a moment.
If there’s one trend we’ve spotted coming to the forefront for Christmas over the last few years, it’s for hanging a festive foliage display over the dining table.
Whether real or artificial, traditionally festive or not, it’s a trend that’s being interpreted in all kinds of forms – but that really delivers the ‘wow-factor’ when it comes to your Christmas dinner table.

Just be careful to keep your foliage away from potentially hot elements such as bulbs.
