3 decoration themes to dress a stunning Christmas table in 2021

Christmas table decoration theme: nature and pine cones

The festive season is here, and it’s time to prepare your home for Christmas. Your dining room or kitchen table is the perfect place to start! A plethora of joyful (sometimes stressful) family meals await, and it’s your occasion to showcase your decoration skills.

Need some inspiration? Here are 3 themes to dress a stunning table for Christmas this year.

 

Theme 1: Invite Nature In

Time to put on your boots, take your raincoat and run to the closest forest with a basket! Not to collect mushrooms (except if you find some on your path), but to stock up on your table’s next best friends: pine cones, dried leaves and chestnuts! They make perfect ornaments. Place them around plates or use them to create a central decoration piece. Choose a beige linen tablecloth with autumn patterns that remind nature. Light some candles to bring in the warmth of a campfire. Get creative with napkin rings: dried flowers make the perfect delicate accessory.

 Theme characteristics

Colour palette: use beige and light green tones.

Elements: linen, (fake) fur, wood, hand-blown glassware, pine cones, chestnuts, dried leaves (tip: write your guests’ names on a leaf!), pine branches, flowery or wooden napkin rings, candles. Choose a linen table runner with delicate patterns to highlight your nature-inspired decor, and match it with autumn leaves placemats!

Theme 2: Let it shine

Turn your table into the main subject of conversation. Dazzle people when they enter the dining room. Make it glow, and make sure people will talk about it for years and years.

Okay, we might be exaggerating a bit. But there are easy ways to make your table literally shine this festive season. Put in some gold, let the angels sing their choirs and pick the perfect glassware pairings. Below are the key characteristics of this statement theme.

 

Theme characteristics

Colour palette: beige, burgundy, golden, silver, pearly white

Elements: beige linen, silver cutlery, porcelain plates, angel figurines, amber yellow glassware, diamond shapes, handwritten notes to make your guests feel like they’re VIP...and of course, foie-gras. Turn your table into a statement with sustainable linen, diamond patterns and luxurious hand-printed details.

Theme 3: Get funky

Why not break codes this year? Suggest something people have never seen before? Dare to be original?

It’s not because Christmas is in winter that we should be afraid to put in some colors! Christmas is also synonym with joy, reunion, delight!

Choose a bright-colored tablecloth and pair it with hand-blown glasses. Garnish the center of the table with a flamboyant, pompous flower bouquet, set chairs with jazzy vintage cushions, and use a bold table runner.

 

Theme Characteristics

Colour palette: vivid burgundy, red, orange, deep yellow, forest green, blue, lilac…

Elements: organic cotton, hand blow vibrant glassware, roses and daisies, hand-painted ceramic plates
