HOW TO MAKE YOUR DINING ROOM TABLE INVITING & EXCITING
Tis the season! Is there anything more festive than gathering around a table to share a meal with your loved ones?
We love the coziness of the coming cold-weather months and the genuine joy of hosting guests around a table. Decorating your tablescape with seasonal decor and special touches not only elevates the table aesthetic, but it can also create a warm, inviting space to spend evenings laughing, talking, and sharing the excitement of the holidays together.
Whether you prefer whimsical whites, shiny reds, or elegant greens, there are ways to incorporate your personal style to set the perfect holiday table.
Five Ways to Set The Perfect Holiday Table
1. Linens
Linens are a great starting point for decorating your table, and a simple way to incorporate your color scheme and personal style. Try layering your table with a festive evergreen table runner or luxurious cream tablecloth. Placemats and napkins add depth and another splash of texture.
2. Centerpiece
The center of your table not only creates a focal point, it gives you the chance to be creative! Try laying down greenery and adding in candlesticks for a bit of sparkle. Ribbons, ornaments, flowers, or fairy lights are perfect accents to tuck in around the greens.
3. Festive Dishes
Each place setting is an opportunity to create some holiday magic for your guests to enjoy! Holiday dishes are lovely, but classic whites are a great option, too, and give you more flexibility when it comes to adding color and patterns to your table.
4. Pieces of Nature
Winter brings a lot of time indoors, which makes bringing nature inside extra special. Add pinecones, sprigs of evergreen, cranberries, or other natural elements to bring a fresh, sophisticated look.
5. Place Cards
Nothing makes a place setting feel more personalized than custom place cards for each guest. Handwrite each person’s name on cardstock, or tie a tag to a cinnamon stick, ornament, or floral stem. Not only does it look beautiful at each place, it shows you put extra time and thought into each setting – and every guest.
