Christmas is a time to share quality time with your family and loved ones. Food is one of the protagonists of this holiday, so you will spend a lot of time at the dining table. Impress your guest and family with a unique decoration on your table.
All the best moments, especially on Christmas, happen sitting around a table. Make these moments even more beautiful with a well-decorated table. Decorate your dining table this Christmas with these simple but quite effective ideas.
Choose a neutral color tablecloth
The tablecloth is the base of the table decoration, it is better to choose a cloth in colors like white, cream, or beige. White and gold are very popular during Christmas. It is much appreciated for being an elegant, sophisticated, delicate, and decorative combination. Choose a white tablecloth and mix it with gold-edged tableware, cutlery with the same finish.
You may add some details in colors like red, blue, and green with the napkins, and decorate them with a Christmas napkin ring. You can do it yourself with a string and some red berries. This will give your table contrast and a Christmas touch.
A white dinnerware with gold trim, together with table linen of the same color can be a bit boring. The underplates can be another element to add a striking and original element that creates contrast.
You can also use a tablecloth with patterns or prints. Christmas prints with snowflakes and fir trees, as well as typical winter plaid or floral prints. Choose a simple pattern that matches the rest of the decoration. The idea is that the table does not look too overloaded.
Choose the perfect table centerpiece
The centerpiece is the most important part of your table decoration. You can do it yourself by taking a vase, placing a white candle inside, and then adding a few leftover ornaments from the tree. Some balls of different sizes, some garlands. All of them mixed together will help you to get a beautiful centerpiece. Create a line of green branches across the table and wrap a garland of lights around it.
Red is the best color for Christmas centerpieces ideas because it goes along with flowers and plants, you can add golden candles and other elements of similar tones that will make an exquisite mix with that traditional touch we want in any Christmas decorations. You can also use elements like table runners, placemats, remnants, burlap, doilies, or wooden slices to add a different vibe to the decoration.
The important thing is not to overload the table too much. You should also avoid at all costs high decorative objects that make it difficult for the guests to see each other, for example, a vase of flowers, Christmas fir trees, or candles. You can use candles only if there is enough space remember that safety comes first, but It could be better to give some light to the table with light garlands.
