Holiday Table Decorating For The Christmas Season

Christmas is just around the corner and with the quick change of holidays, it can be difficult to find inspiration to decorate. The holidays bring family and friends together and there's no better place to do so than around your table. Dining room tables are essential in gathering everyone during the holidays, and spending quality time while indulging in delicious food. Decorating your table this holiday is one of the best ways to bring the Christmas spirit into your home. Make sure to dress up the rest of your home with a beautiful Christmas decoration collection as well.

Smells Like Christmas 

One of the best things about Christmas is all of the amazing scents that you can infuse your home with. Decorating your placement settings with natural scents such as pine spruces and cinnamon sticks is a great and simple way to bring your Christmas table together. A napkin, a piece of pine, and a cinnamon stick can be wrapped up in neutral twine for a seasonal, scented finish. 

Use Natural Materials

Going on a nature walk to collect pinecones and pine branches is a great way to get outside and be active during the winter. However, if you're not sold on the DIY nature walk, you can also find pine cones at a local craft supply store. You can also call your local florist to see if they sell pine garlands during the holiday season. Many floral companies will be selling garlands and wreaths to aid in your decorating. Instead of using placemats this year, switch it up by using wood slices for a rustic, woodsy feel. Finish this look off by adding an assortment of white candles throughout the center to warm the table during your Christmas meal. Natural materials are a beautiful way to decorate a table during the holidays.

Unexpected Colors 

Incorporate non-traditional Christmas colors this year! Just because it is Christmas time, does not mean you have to focus your home or table decor around green and red. Explore cool colors and bold blue hues for a modern vibe this holiday. Bring in white cotton branches in vases throughout the center of the table for a fun way to change up your Christmas decor. The bold blue color and the funky cotton branches will bring a cool winter feel to anyone's home.

Ornament decor

Another great Christmas table decoration idea is to use ornaments as your centerpiece. This idea is both fun and flexible. Regardless of the color scheme in your home decor,  you will be able to find bulb ornaments to match. To make this look come to life, layer your table by first using pine pieces. Secondly, incorporate different-sized and colored ornaments to create dimension throughout the center of your table. Lastly, finish off this holiday look by adding glass votives throughout your spread. A great place to find glass votives this time of year is World Market Cost Plus; They carry a wide variety that is quite affordable.
