In the run up to Christmas, the last thing you might be thinking of is decorating your table. However, if you do feel like sprucing up your Christmas table, here’s a few ideas.

Kitsch accessories

I am definitely one of those people who loves a kitsch Christmas; and why not bring some of that kitsch-ness to the table? Grab your bits of Christmas decor from elsewhere in the house; nutcrackers, trees, figurines, and add them to the table for a bit of festive fun.

A table runner

Sometimes, keeping it simple is best and a pretty table runner is all you need. Layer it over a tablecloth or directly on the table, add some greenery, and voila.

Baubles

Baubles don’t just have to go on the tree! This is a really easy way to add a bit of interest to your table, because chances are you already have some baubles in the house. Save a few and then add them to the table; either on plates as name tags or scattered among the center.

Lights

What is Christmas without some fairylights and candles? Go for a cosy vibe and light some pillar or tapered candles - bonus if they’re on a Christmassy candlestick. Or - save some fairylights and wrap them around the center.

Hanging displays

This is probably the idea that requires the most effort but is definitely a showstopper. Hang a branch from the ceiling and display baubles, lights and other decor on it for a dramatic centrepiece, or use a table stand like this one below.

Greenery

Bringing some festive foliage to the table is a lovely and simple way to add a bit of interest from the table. Arrange it down the center of the table and add sprigs to each plate.

Christmas tableware

I love the nostalgia of having special kitchenware that comes out every year just for Christmas (serving bowls, mugs, teapots, plates…) - and bonus points if it’s beautiful and adds some style to the table.

Chair decor

Finally, don’t forget the chairs! Add a little extra pizazz by tying little wreaths to the back of each chair, or using some fabric to tie a bow.
