Add Elegant Christmas Decorations to your Dinning Room

Start with adding Christmas Decorations in your dinning room. Stay with one theme and color scheme to achieve a cohesive look. Here, I stayed with greens and golds for an elegant natural Christmas Tablescape.

I found gold mirrors on facebook marketplace to add to my mantle. Facebook marketplace is always a great place to look for antique items at an affordable price.

You can also shop some of my favorite gold mirrors here.

I hung oversized gold ornaments from my ceiling to add dimension to the wall. You can also hang smaller sized ornaments at varying heights to achieve the same look. (To prevent holes in your ceiling, command hooks are a great and easy way to hang things)

I also added Christmas trees for a magical twinkle touch.

Create a table centerpiece

The centerpiece is the focal point of the table. Make sure to keep to your color scheme when designing your centerpiece. A garland down the center will create an elegant look to any table.

Here I added dried oranges, and bells down the center for a hint of color. For more color or a pop of red, you can add berries, pomegranates or any fruit of your choosing.

I always like to use candles for an elegant Christmas table setting. Candles create a magical touch to any space. I used gold candles, with different heights down the center of the table. These candles are from an antique store but I linked similar ones here.

Set Your Elegant Table Setting

When you set your table, use elements that are in your theme and color pallet. I added gold chargers to bring in more gold. For the napkins, I used a green plaid and tied them up with a natural jute string. You can also add sprigs, cinnamon sticks, holiday festive ribbon, pine branches or holly to your rolled up napkins for added texture.

Use your creativity to design an elegant table setting for your guest! You can also incorporate name cards if you choose. Some of my favorite name card ideas are small wrapped presents, mini twig wreaths, and ornaments.

Other Elegant Table Setting Suggestions

  • Add twinkle lights for some more magic
  • Tea candles are a great substitution for candlesticks
  • Instead of rolling up the napkin, fold it in half and place it under the dinner plate.
  • Write names on glassware with a black sharpie (it will come off in the dishwasher!)
  • Give your guests something to take home when they leave, such as an ornament, place card holder, festive cup, personal sized dessert.

Before I had my blog I created a red and green elegant tablescape two years ago and never shared these photos on my blog! I used a lot of the same design elements this year!

Christmas is such a magical time of year, and creating an elegant table for your guest to enjoy is so very special. When you bring family and friends into your home, you are welcoming them into your heart. I hope this holiday season you cherish these memories that you will remember for years to come.

Wishing you the joy of family, the happiness of friends, and the love of Christmas! May the warmth and peace of the holiday season fill your hearts!
