‘Tis the season to get organised for Christmas! Now’s the time to prepare, especially if you’re planning a celebration with the whole extended family.
If you’re hosting all your relatives, you might be wondering how you’ll accommodate all those extra people around the dining table, snuggled on the sofa, or with somewhere to sleep.
Whether you’re cooking Christmas dinner for the first time, hosting family from afar, or planning seasonal drinks and nibbles with friends, we’re here to help make Christmas as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. Read on to discover how to make your home host-ready.
Gather round
Newton dining table | Lars chair
We’ve all experienced festive meals where the kids perch on stools, granny is on a garden chair, and you can hardly tuck into your roasties for fear of elbowing your great aunt. Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen this year!
Get ahead and give your dining table the upgrade it deserves. Our extendable tables can be easily adapted, making them equally suited to small family meals and big celebrations.
All together now

From Christmas Eve movie nights to opening stockings on Christmas morning, it’s safe to say you’ll be making memories on the sofa over the festive season. If you’re expecting guests, it might be worth considering a corner sofa. Not only are they a spacious choice for all your additional family, friends and pets, but also perfect for much-needed afternoon snoozing in the Twixmas period!
Make your space multipurpose
If you need extra beds for family or friends to stay the night, we have a range of two and three-seater sofa beds that can transform home offices, guest bedrooms, children’s playrooms and more into multifunctional spaces.

Whether you want to tune in for the King’s speech, doze in front of a festive film, or laugh out loud at a classic Christmas comedy, you’ll want to make sure you’ve got somewhere for everyone to watch TV.
Our sofas come in a range of sizes and styles to suit your space. Plus, there’s the option to match with a footstool for maximum comfort, with many offering handy in-built storage.
Table talk
It’s the season to indulge, so make sure there’s a spot for every guest’s Baileys, mince pies or plates of cheese and biscuits.
Whether you choose a useful nest of tables that offers a space-saving solution or opt for a stylish side table, we’ve got lots to choose from that will make your living room extra welcoming to visitors this Christmas.
Wrapped to perfection

It’s always a good idea to keep a few spare gifts stashed away for those last-minute surprises. Chocolates, candles, hand cream, or cosy socks make great emergency presents. Wrap in your favourite festive paper and hide in your sideboard to give to unexpected guests.
