Christmas is synonymous with warm, cheerful decorations. While the Christmas tree is certainly memorable, other areas of the home should also be well-decorated. The dining table is an important part of Christmas celebrations. For many, Christmas dinner is a tradition, as it is a time to gather with family and express gratitude. As with your Christmas tree, there are many color palettes and festive themes with which to decorate your dining table. Here are some Christmas dining table decoration ideas to inspire you.
White Christmas
Create a snowy landscape on the dining table with faux foliage, snowflakes, and touches of silver and gold. You can also decorate the table with table lamps and white star decorations.
Classic Forest
Create a cozy forest atmosphere by layering natural wickerwork over a tartan tablecloth. Add pine cones, fir cones, and berries to the tablecloth and sprinkle gold ornaments on top for a glamorous touch.
Bright, Cheerful Colors
Use bright colors like pink, yellow, and blue to create a vibrant Christmas dinner table. Place a colorful, floral tablecloth over a white one and top it with round, yellow placemats. Wrap small gifts for your family or guests in colors that match.
Red and White
Red and white create a cheerful atmosphere. Instead of decorating with candy canes, make things unique and glamorous by using shiny red apples as place settings. Simply write each person’s name on a leaf-shaped card and tie it to the stem.
Beach Charm
To create a relaxed beach atmosphere, use lots of different layers and textures in a nature-inspired color palette. Start with white linen placemats and oval woven napkins for contrast and texture. Give your family or guests something to take home: small potted succulents at each place setting.
Glittered Gold
Keep things simple with white linen placemats. Decorate the dining table with gold and white paper lanterns and a star garland. Combine them with tropical-themed tableware and utensils.
Tropical Cheer
Use a bright color palette of pink, peach, teal, and yellow combined with gold and copper accents for a sparkling look. Create a striking tablecloth with single-stem tropical leaves and place a pineapple in the center. Sprinkle shiny ornaments around for a festive touch.
Simple yet Elegant
For a simple yet elegant look, use plain white linens and a single sprig of eucalyptus at each place setting. Combine them with a green and navy blue color scheme for a subtle, elegant look.
Rustic Elegance
Use greenery from your yard as a centerpiece and add pinecones for a rustic look. Use a natural woven tablecloth and add a sprig of greenery to each place setting. Complete the look with shiny red ornaments.
