That time of year is almost upon us! Family, friends, presents, food and drink are huge parts of this festive holiday! Your dining room will host the main event, so you’ve started to look at Christmas table décor that will have your guests over-come with Christmas cheer! It’s a time to relax, catch up with friends and see your distant relatives.
So, whether you are hosting a Christmas dinner for your family, an elegant party for friends or an intimate dinner for two, you’ll surely find some Christmas table décor ideas to suit your style!
Sink into the Scandinavian style
Scandinavian design is a stunning trend which is sweeping throughout homes. So, it makes sense to embrace this ‘hygge’ style at your Christmas dining table. A wonderful aspect of Scandinavian design is how it utilises minimal and natural décor to create a powerful but uncluttered style.
Keep your items down to neutral colours, such as muted gold, greens, and exposed wood. If you opt for a tablecloth, go for cream, beige or a muslin material. Scandinavian Christmas decorations are the perfect choice of décor for those who don’t want too much on their table but still want to create a gorgeous setting.
Christmas table décor just in time for breakfast
The first Christmas meal of the day is breakfast! So why wait until the evening or the afternoon to get your table all dressed up? Whether you have friends or family staying over or want to create an intimate breakfast experience for you and your partner, your Christmas table décor shouldn’t have to wait.
For ease and simplicity, choose festive bowls and cups with a sprinkling of presents, stars and pine cones and a garland to inject some Christmas vibes. This is a great way to start your day off in the Christmas spirit but also to minimise how much clearing up you need to do before the main event! Small hints and odd trinkets are enough to create a pretty Christmas breakfast experience.
Dream of a pastel Christmas table setting!
Pastel Christmas decorations have been popular amongst the Christmas decor trends this year. Even the traditionalists out there have to admit there is something innocently festive about pastel Christmas decorations.
Pastel pink decor would combine perfectly with a white tablecloth and gold accessories like plates and cutlery. Throw in hints of pale blue to mix up your pastel decor, and voila! You now have a magical pastel Christmas table setting which looks beautiful.

If you are short on space, you can still create a gorgeous Christmas table decor with a few specifically picked and placed pieces. A great place to start is with your lights. Weaving warm-white lights over your table will create a cosy glowing atmosphere, but it will also act as an illusion to make your table appear fuller.
Choose golden or bronzed tall vases and candle holders, or candle sticks (as the light will reflect in a glorious way) and choose green or white candles. Fill your vases with pine branches, and if you are able, hang decorations over your table to help create a cosy and intimate feel.
Christmas table décor with a romantic twist
For an elegant and almost wedding-style table décor style, aim your decorations to focus on romantic design elements. These include rose-red items, such as napkins and candles. Mix these with golden knives and forks and weave beautiful red roses in the garland you have placed in the centre of your table. Choose crystal effect glasses for an added air of sophistication for the finishing touch.
