What is Christmas without the family sitting at the table to enjoy dinner? From the tablecloth to the glasses going through details such as the napkin rings; At the best tables, not a single detail is left to chance. The main activity of the Christmas parties takes place almost entirely around the table. That is why we are going to give you a few ideas to decorate yours and make it super pretty and perfect for this Christmas.
Tablecloths and table runners
They are the fundamental pillar of the tables, the base on which to build the rest of the decoration. Choosing a nice tablecloth is the first step. Here are a few ideas that we love:
1- Simple table runners
If you plan to use ornaments and decorations on the table, we recommend that you do not fall into overindulgence and keep the rest of things quite simple. Use a table runner like this in neutral tones and let the bright red items stand out.
2- Christmas colors to decorate the table
If you want the colors of Christmas to be present on your tablecloth, you can choose some table runners like these. They are simple, beautiful, and you can reuse them at other times of the year since they are not necessarily “Christmas”. Of course, combined with a few ornaments, you will get the total Christmas effect. We love them!
3- All red
Tablecloth with Christmas motifs
If your thing is to risk, go for a patterned tablecloth like this one and leave all your guests speechless. Of course, try that the rest of the accessories are a little more reduced. Some napkins in neutral colors will be your best allies. If you already want to leave everyone with their mouths open, take a look at this post to learn how to fold napkins in an original way. They will love it!
4- Bet on a classic
Deep red tablecloth
Nothing screams “Christmas” more than the deep red color on your table. If you don’t want to complicate things, spread out a scarlet tablecloth and decorate the rest of the table with green and gold. Total Christmas!

Hit the crockery and glassware
We agree, the important thing about Christmas meals is sharing them with the people you love and putting all your love into cooking something delicious. That does not mean that how you present the dishes is not important. A beautiful tableware with personality will be the icing on the cake for your dinners, guaranteed success!
8- Take a risk with the colors
A Christmas tableware does not necessarily have to be in red colors and with patterned reindeer. Christmas, in the end, is about celebrating so you can also get something more festive and original tableware. These in dark and golden tones have enchanted us. Do you dare with something a little different?
9- Stylish glasses
Simple and elegant glasses
We recommend that if you are going to use more ornaments on the rest of the table this Christmas, keep simple elements such as cutlery, glassware … Of course! It does not suggest that you leave everything to chance. Simple but stylish glasses like these will go a long way with a well-arranged and decorated table.
10- Christmas mugs
When we talk about decorating the Christmas table we always focus on lunch and dinner, but what if you also have a tradition of organizing a breakfast? We could not resist this beautiful mug. See us and we want to have a hot chocolate while we open gifts, doesn’t it happen to you too?
Other accessories to decorate your Christmas table
Many times among the nuances is the true charm of a well-arranged table. A few cards with the diners’ names or even simple candles can totally make a difference in your Christmas meals. The consideration to detail does not go unnoticed by anyone. These are some of the elements that we like the most:
11- Functional decoration
The cutlery is to eat, yes, but what about how beautiful these matte gold cutlery are going to be on your Christmas table? Every detail counts and paying attention to the cutlery seems like a hoot to us.
If you need to go to the next level, you can customize your metal cutlery. Take a look at our tutorial and find out how.
12- Decorate the Christmas table with candles
It is not a mystery that we love candles. They are perfect for all occasions! For Christmas we like to choose simple candles or with typical Christmas colors so that they harmonize well with the rest of the decoration.
13- Golden candles
If you, on the other hand, are to risk a little more, we leave you here some golden candles that will not go unnoticed by anyone. Beautiful!
14- Diners cards
You don’t have to do a lot of shopping to pay attention to detail and enchant your guests. How about writing the names of your guests by hand on cards and presenting them in pineapples? They are sure to love it and, besides, it’s super Christmas!
