Christmas dining and entertaining ideas from Houseology

December 5, 2014 By Rachel Newcombe 2 Comments

Festive dining table ideas

T’is the season for entertaining! But there’s nothing worse than discovering you don’t have the right glasses, serving dishes or platters to suit the occasion.

If you’re looking for the perfect ways to serve foods and drinks in style, then look no further than Houseology (previously known as Occa-Home). The online interior design store specialises in selling luxury branded homewares and is full to the brim with inspiring products.

LSA International is just one of the many brands stocked by Occa-Home and you’re likely to be able to find suitably stylish glassware and tableware in their collection.

Serve cocktails in style at Christmas

The LSA paddle cocktail set is a beautiful way of serving drinks to your guests. The six elegant cocktail glasses are served from a hand finished natural oak board, shaped like a paddle.

Indented rounds on the board ensure each glass stays in place and makes carrying the board less of a worry. Inspiration for the design of the board came from the Tirol region of Austria, where drinks are traditionally served on similar wooden trays.

Glass tableware serving dishes

For dips and crudites, sweet or savoury nibbles, or even for serving a selection of vegetables at a dinner party, the LSA serve square platter does the trick fantastically.

The chunky glass dish is split into four sections, with a round central area, so you each set of crudites or nibbles is neatly separated. This is a piece you’ll use again and again.

Decorate your table for Christmas

You could even incorporate a decoration into it too, to add a festive touch. The round centre of the square glass serve platter dish is the perfect size to hold a candle, for example, and you’ve still got plenty of room in the four surrounding sections to serve nibbles or chocolates. A tall candle in the centre would be ideal for creating impact in the middle of a table laden with food. Fresh Design blog reviews Occa-Home serveware

Nothing marks the end of a special meal better than tucking into some tasty cheese and biscuits. In terms of serving them in style, the LSA International lotta dip platter ticks all the boxes.

The deep wood board is made from ash and is accompanied by a white porcelain dish to hold your favourite chutney. It’s a well made and sturdy piece that looks like it’s made to last.

All of the items come very well packed and boxed, so they’re ideal for Christmas gifts too. For more tableware and serveware ideas from LSA International and other top brands, check out Houseology.
