In the world of interior design and tableware, trends are constantly evolving to reflect our growing connection with nature. In 2024, the mineral trend is taking the world of tableware by storm, fusing timeless elegance with organic aesthetics.

Today, we’re talking to you about this exciting new trend that transforms our meals into a unique visual experience and introducing you to our Cottage collection.

Nature at Home:

The mineral trend highlights the raw beauty of natural materials, recalling the spectacular landscapes and timeless elements of our planet. Inspired by textures such as marble, granite and precious stones, this trend evokes a sense of calm and harmony in the home. We’ve captured this essence in our new collection, bringing a breath of nature to our tables.

Colour Palette:

A neutral colour palette defines the mineral trend. Soft shades of grey, beige, off-white and green combine to create a soothing ambience. We’ve explored this palette through plates, bowls and glasses that evoke the authenticity of natural materials while blending harmoniously into a variety of decorative settings.

Organic and geometric shapes:

Organic and geometric shapes blend together in Luminarc’s mineral collection. The clean lines and natural contours create an aesthetic that evokes both modernity and refinement. Each piece of mineral tableware has been designed to offer versatile options for both casual and sophisticated tables.

The mineral trend of 2024 offers an immersion in the raw beauty of nature, transforming our meals into exceptional sensory experiences. With its Cottage Granit collection, we offers interior design enthusiasts a unique opportunity to bring the magic of natural elements to their table. Embrace the mineral trend and discover how simplicity can be the ultimate expression of elegance in the home.

To create a warm atmosphere and a festive table for Christmas, the trend is towards plants. It is a chic theme, which can be minimalist or maximalist. The right combination of materials and colours in the tableware, table linen and accessories is the key to a successful table decoration. Adding a few sparkling sequins and candles to accentuate the festive aspect and delight children and adults alike.

 

Shades of white for table linen

In order to highlight the tableware and table decorations, start by choosing beautiful table linen. To make sure you don’t go wrong and to make the most of chic and elegance, opt for white tones: ivory, cream, ecru. The idea is to superimpose these different shades. This will create a light and warm base that will enhance the tableware and your decor. As far as materials are concerned, linen and cotton are the perfect natural fibres for a plant theme.

 

Snow white tablecloth for Christmas

The first element of the table linen is the tablecloth, either round or rectangular. It can be chosen in a pure white colour. This way, its neutrality accentuates the aesthetics and colours of the rest of the composition. Choose a thick tablecloth made in France, with quality finishes. Sprinkle it with gold glitter, which will sparkle in the light.

 

Ivory table runner

The table runner is the piece that structures the composition of the festive table. An ivory tone makes it stand out against the white tablecloth. It goes very well with natural decorations such as green foliage, brown wood and gold accessories. The ivory tone also brings out the transparency of the decanters and pitchers on the table beautifully.

 

Napkins for festive meals

When it comes to napkins, a third shade of white can be chosen. Together with the pure white of the tablecloth and the ivory of the table runner, a creamy white can be used. You can also choose napkins in a golden tone, in which the soft light of the candles will be reflected. To keep with the plant theme, consider tying a few twigs or ivy garlands as napkin rings.

 

Inspiration for a green Christmas table decoration

The purity of the white table linen highlights the natural materials chosen for the table decoration. The plant elements (fir branches, twigs, pinecones) bring softness and fit perfectly into the Christmas spirit.

 

Plant centrepiece

For the table centrepiece, you can choose delicately scented fir branches. The good scents of the forest will come into your home to the delight of your guests. You can weave them into a wreath and add a few pine cones and pretty baubles. You can also make small DIY decorations to complete your central wreath. For example, star patterns, snowflakes or characters (reindeer, Santa, snowman) made from twigs.

 

Natural wooden coasters

To enhance the aesthetics of your glassware, choose coasters made from wooden logs. Remember to cut them out of the trunk of the Christmas tree before you start decorating your tree. Placed next to the place cards, these coasters bring the warmth you want for a family meal. The natural wood on the table also gives a Scandinavian and cocooning atmosphere, perfect for Christmas.

 

Candles and candle holders

For a cosy light, natural and fragrance-free candles are ideal. Choose them in different sizes. They can be placed in golden candle holders to give off a soft light and make glasses and cutlery sparkle. Tealights can also be placed on small wooden logs. Place them all along the table. They give off a cosy light that is perfect for a Christmas meal.

 

Ideal tableware for Christmas

To make your Christmas table sparkle, it is advisable to choose white tableware and transparent glassware (glasses, jugs, carafes). Firstly, because white and transparent catch the light. Secondly, because these neutral colours are perfect for a plant theme.

 

White plates for Christmas

The layering of plates is decorative and practical. The soup plate placed on a flat plate is used for the starter or first course. This is perfect for a soup, for example. The flat plate is reserved for fish or meat. Both types of plates are chosen in a white tone to respect the theme of soft and vegetal decoration.

 

Fancy cutlery for the holidays

To play up the festive aspect, you can choose golden cutlery. They go well with white tableware. They also help to create the festive atmosphere that makes the eyes of children and adults shine.

 

Wine and water glasses

Placed side by side in front of each of your guests, there are the indispensable wine and water glasses. With their transparency and slender lines, these glasses provide the final touch of elegance. In addition, they encourage the play of light that candles, glitter and gold elements allow. You can choose a pair of stemmed glasses or combine a stemmed glass with a tall goblet. Champagne lovers can add a pretty flute as a third glass to this combination.

All year round there are special occasions for entertaining guests: Christmas, New Year’s Eve, birthdays, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. A beautiful festive table is the perfect place to gather around good food and a friendly atmosphere. Fine crockery, beautiful glassware, quality table linen, get all the decoration ideas you need to dazzle your guests.

 

Adapt your table to the occasion

It is quite possible to use the same accessories for different parties. You can set your table with your beautiful glassware, crockery and table linen. Just change the decoration to fit the theme of the party.

 

Beautiful linen: napkins, table runner and tablecloth

For beautiful table linen for all special occasions, it is advisable to choose thick and soft quality materials. So choose linen or cotton napkins, table runner and tablecloth. As far as colours are concerned, choose neutral tones, in a range of white or beige.

Chic and elegant glassware

A family celebration is an opportunity to set the table with quality glassware. There are various models of jugs and decanters that are perfect for a festive table. The slender lines of stemmed glasses add a very chic touch. For water glasses, you can choose transparent glasses, which are a sure way to add elegance. If you prefer glasses with a touch of colour, you can choose from tall tumblers.

White or patterned tableware

To be able to use the same tableware for different parties, it is recommended to choose a set of white plates or plates with sober patterns. A complete set of plates consists of a dinner plate, a soup plate and a dessert plate. It is more stylish to choose the set from the same collection.

Stylish cutlery for festive tables

Festive meals are an opportunity to offer guests a finely crafted cutlery service. The cutlery collections offer a wide choice of knives, forks and spoons. They should be chosen according to the dishes served during the meal. You can choose a 3 or 4 pronged fork for fish, meat or dessert. Complete your service with a meat knife and a fish knife. Among the spoons, different sizes are available: soup spoon 18 cm, coffee or dessert spoon 14 cm.

 

Inspiration to change your decoration for the holidays

If you have beautiful tableware, a different decoration is enough to change the atmosphere of the festive table. It’s also the good food that makes the difference. Here are a few ideas for adapting your decoration to the theme of the party.

 

How to make a nice Christmas table?

For the Christmas table, we want a cocooning and festive atmosphere. Therefore, we create a decoration with accessories that give off a warm and cosy feeling. Golden candles decorate the table with elegance. The different light sources make their golden colour flicker. Other candles are placed in candle jars or candle holders to give off a soft light and illuminate the glassware. Choosing candles of different sizes is a good way to spread a warm light.

To decorate the centrepiece, you can use natural elements such as fir branches and pine cones. Christmas purists can also place some pretty baubles and figures under a snowy bell.

Setting a beautiful table for New Year’s Eve

For New Year’s Eve, you need glitter. The tablecloth is therefore sprinkled with glitter to make the dishes, cutlery and glassware shine. Champagne glasses take pride of place at the heart of the decor. They can be slender flutes. The glasses are also ready to receive a few bubbles.

Gold is a popular accessory. For the change of year, the numbers of the new year are placed in the centre of the table. These numbers are also used to make napkin rings : you can cut them out of gold paper yourself.

Festive table for family dinner

To celebrate a happy event, a birthday, Mother’s or Father’s Day, the whole family gathers around a good meal. It can be a lunch or a dinner. The dessert is the highlight : the good homemade pie, the creamy cake with several layers, the ice cream presented in beautiful bowls. And for the pleasure of the eyes, the meal is brightened up with a top decoration.

For a nature theme, place small bunches of freshly cut flowers everywhere. Turn pretty carafes into vases to accentuate the country feel. Cups can also be turned into small succulents to add a welcome touch of green. Plant garlands, made from flowers or ivy, run along the length of the plates. They enhance the carafes and pitchers while adding a touch of freshness and lightness.

Colourful sweets are placed in pretty glass bowls. The pleasure is twofold. Firstly for the eyes, with their festive colours. Secondly, for the gourmet side: there is always room for a few sweets at the end of the meal. And if not, you can take these sweets home as a souvenir of a good time spent with your loved ones.
