There’s nothing quite like a classic green plaid to dress your festive table. Tara O’Connor’s The Designed Table offers ‘Tablescapes in a Box’ and you will find her wares online, at the Gather shop in Kildare Village and at the Clarendon Collection in Dublin 2. She pairs the tablecloth with matching check cotton napkins, red frilled cotton placemats and antler napkin rings. Tara’s green plaid ‘Tablescape in a Box’ for six guests is €299.
