According to a study from the National Kitchen & Bath Association, 57% of designers who responded to their annual survey prefer an eat-in kitchen, meaning there's no separate dining room. This isn’t too much of a surprise, as it's a trend that's grown throughout the past decade. What's noteworthy is that 20% of respondents said traditional, stand-alone kitchen tables are on their way out, replaced by multifunctional islands for a casual, modern look.
“In addition to being used as a gathering place, work surface, and dining table, the island serves as a design focal point in the kitchen with 43.8% of respondents selecting the kitchen island as the top place for a statement color,” the National Kitchen & Bath Association wrote in their report.

Dreaming of a green Christmas: make the garden the centrepiece of your festive table
From when I was a child, I’ve always loved gussying up the table for Christmas. Lots of candles are a must, in order to give that necessary festive twinkle, ideally placed at different heights (nightlights, low candlesticks, tall candelabras), to really make it sparkle. Nice table linen and glassware are important too. But the table arrangements really wave the magic Christmas wand, providing that all-important bit of theatre to memorably mark this special day of the year.
