Beautiful New Year's decoration for the dinner - Details for the New Year's table setting
A New Year's dinner is not like any other meal, and therefore the table setting shouldn't be either. Whether you want to create a New Year's table setting in silver or gold, or perhaps even both, there are a few things that can spice up the dinner table and add that little extra touch. Let yourself be inspired by our tips here:
- The more the merrier. Remember to fill the table with porcelain, plates, candles, flowers, glitter, and other decorations. A New Year's table that looks bare and empty is not recommended. By creating fullness, you achieve a more luxurious feel. Dorre has beautiful details to adorn your table with. For example, place wine glasses on stylish coaster, and preferably place a beautiful oil & vinegar set that guests can drizzle on their salad or snacks.
- Set out knives, forks, and spoons for both appetizers, main courses, and desserts for an elegant touch to the table setting, and feel free to use a slightly finer cutlery set for the New Year's dinner. Dorres charming cutlery perfect for a festive dinner party.
- The little extra. Yes, when is there a better opportunity to glam up to the max than on New Year's Eve itself? For example, create a beautiful napkin fold for New Year's and add neat servettringar and decorate the dinner table with elegant candle holders in glass with candle lights for a warm and cozy feeling.

Your ultimate New Year's menu for 2024 - Starter, main course & dessert
Appetizer New Year - Luxurious toast skagen
Is there anything tastier and more traditional than toast skagen as a starter on New Year's? I don't think so. Buy a really delicious skagen mix, or make your own with shrimp, mayonnaise, red onion, and more, and serve it on grilled sourdough bread with luxurious löjrom and a small sprig of dill and a slice of lemon on top. Yum!
Main course New Year - Classic juicy beef tenderloin
What would New Year's Eve be without a main course that includes beef tenderloin and a bit of red wine sauce? You don't need to complicate things unnecessarily and come up with something revolutionary to serve as a main course when a juicy beef tenderloin always hits the spot. Do you also need a vegetarian main course for New Year's? Then make sure to prepare, for example, some portabello and grilled cheese so everyone has something to eat. Then serve the whole feast with a really good potato gratin.
Dessert New Year - Fruity & simple panna cotta
The Italians have many tricks up their sleeve when it comes to food, and panna cotta is of course one of them. This dessert is also perfect because it is super easy to make, contains few ingredients, and lasts in the fridge for a couple of days. You can therefore prepare your panna cotta for New Year's the day before so you don't have to stress on New Year's Eve itself, good, right? The only ingredients needed are: Gelatin sheets, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla sugar, and some berries or fruit as a topping, and voila, you have your New Year's dessert!
