During celebrations such as Eid al-Fitr, Christmas, or birthdays, families come together at home to share meals. In addition to decorating the living room, it is equally important to decorate the dining area, as this is where the whole family comes together. You can start by decorating the dining table with a vase of fresh flowers, changing the tablecloth to suit the occasion, and arranging your favourite tableware. The following tips can inspire you when decorating your dining table for special occasions.
Determine a theme
Before you start decorating, it’s best to decide on a theme and colour scheme. Consider rustic, traditional, or Christmas themes. Once you have decided on a theme, it will be easier to choose appropriate decorations.
Use neutral colours
Tablecloths in neutral colours such as grey, cream, white, and linen can be used in any setting. These colours can also be combined with different carpets and paint colours. Alternatively, you could use a neutral-coloured tablecloth with table decorations such as a runner or napkins in bold colours like deep red, sage, or blue.
Place a centrepiece in the centre of the dining table
If your table is large enough, you can place several centrepieces along it. These could include vases, candles, or decorations that match the theme of your meal. For example, on Christmas Day, place Christmas decorations in the centre of the dining table with a red runner and garland.
Custom Tablecloth
Purchasing fabric and making your own tablecloth allows you to choose colours and patterns that match your home’s ambience. You can also customise the length and width to fit your table perfectly. This way, you’ll get a beautiful tablecloth at a much more affordable price.
Combine colours and patterns!
Colours and patterns can create a fresh and creative impression, and this is especially true when applied to a dining table. When setting the dining table, don’t be afraid to use a variety of colours and patterns. You can use several patterns, but it’s best to choose ones in a similar colour scheme. Also, add cushions to the dining chairs that match the tablecloth and runner.
