Christmas Table Decor Zap!

Whether you are decorating for an intimate family dinner or hosting a larger festive party, creating an elegant Christmas table is one of the best ways to create a warm and inviting ambience. Using a simple white tablecloth, a woven table runner and a few strategically placed decorations can transform the entire look of your dining room. From a simple yet eye-catching glass bottle candle holder to an intricately decorated gingerbread house, there are so many options to choose from that will suit your style and budget.

Add a dash of sparkle to your Christmas table setting by layering in gold and silver ornaments. You can purchase a variety of different designs and shapes of decorations from discount home stores or craft shops that are both affordable and easy to use. You can even make your own table runner or centrepiece for an extra personal touch. Alternatively, use your favourite pieces of jewellery and vases that you already own and dress them with a coordinating ribbon or sprig of holly.

An all-natural centrepiece looks beautiful and costs nothing at all! Collect twigs of varying lengths and tie them together loosely with raffia or thin florist’s wire. Add a few gold-painted seed pods and a few herb sprigs that have been sprayed with a light coat of golden spray paint to complete the look. This style of centrepiece is ideal for smaller spaces and apartments as it doesn’t require any maintenance once hung.
