1. Create a Christmas Centerpiece
Add a few festive pops around the house with Christmas table decorations. Put together easy holiday candle centerpieces with a few things that you can find at Lowe’s or take your pick from last year’s collection. First, choose a decorative plate. It can be a wooden charcuterie board, gold tray or any platter you have around the house. Next, arrange a wreath, some candles and a tabletop Christmas tree on the plate. Based on the size of your tables, you can create small or large arrangements for any room of your house. You can even add some pine cones and berries for more texture and color.
2. Set Up a Christmas Dinner Table
The quickest way to create a Christmas tablescape is to find a matching table runner, napkin set and dinnerware. If you want to go beyond the traditional Christmas plate settings and tabletop décor, a little creativity and some Christmas essentials are all you need for a holiday upgrade.
- Lay a basic burlap table runner down the center of the table.
- Place garland on the runner.
- Add in more greenery, like Christmas picks or something fresh from your backyard.
- Get candle holders of different heights and arrange them together or apart.
You can experiment with different themes and color palettes for your dining room Christmas decorations. Design Christmas place settings with ease for any décor style, from winter wonderland to vintage.
3. Create a Whimsical Experience
Get your kids even more excited about the winter holidays with an interactive Christmas centerpiece. An Advent calendar is a fun way to keep little ones engaged throughout the season. You can fill up the calendar with mini gifts or add clues for a cool treasure hunt. Complete the tabletop décor with candy Christmas trees, Santa decorations, candles, pine cones, berries and more.
Make opening gifts a post-dinner ritual that your kids will look forward to. You can do the same thing for your pets too.
4. Create a Modern Holiday Table
If you like to keep it simple during the holidays, small Christmas table decorations in muted or neutral tones are perfect for you. These understated holiday décor elements add a little cheer to your home without overwhelming the space. A few tiny tabletop Christmas trees, red berries, wreaths, gold accents and some battery-operated lights to set the ambience are all you need.
5. Layer Your Christmas Décor
If you love Christmas crafts and would love a do-it-yourself project, this one’s for you. Put your cake stands to good use by transforming them into holiday centerpieces. Create a tiered or an elevated centerpiece by adding holiday table decorations, ornaments, floral décor, garland, pine cones, tabletop decorations and any other holiday knickknacks you can get your hands on. You can create a variety of elegant Christmas centerpieces based on the theme of your seasonal décor.
