How to Create a Perfect Christmas Dinner Table

Dec 13th 2018

With Christmas around the corner, families will be coming together. It’s no secret that the host of Christmas day wants to create that perfect dining room table place setting for their guests. However, trends change year after year. There’s no reason to use the same table setting all the time. You can change up your setting in just a few steps and keep up with the changing trends. 


Sky-High Centerpiece

In recent years, you probably have gone with the basic garland centerpiece with a few candles in the middle. This year, people are going tall with their centerpieces. This creates that elegant look for your dining room table. Be creative on how you add height to your centerpiece. You can stack cake plates together and add candles on top, or use large floral decorations in a vase. However you decide to put your centerpiece together, your elegant piece will be the focal point of your dining room. 


Lighted Mason Jars

As we mentioned in our previous blog, you can easily create lighted Mason jars yourself. Why not use these as your centerpiece? These beautiful, illuminated jars will add charm and a little light to your dining room. You can be a little creative on how you place them on the table, but the majority of people set them straight across their table vertically. If you want to add a personal touch to your dining room table, this is the way to go. They’re easy to make, and even easier to place on the table.


Create a Winter Wonderland

This year, people are being creative and moving on from the regular dining room table cloth. Instead, they are choosing a plain white cloth that has a little texture to it. This creates a neat dining room table setting that will grab the attention of your guests. You can be creative with the china set as almost any color goes with white. This place setting is perfect for the family that enjoys winter, and is looking for that creative look for their dining room table.


If you’re hosting Christmas this year, try these tips on setting your dining room table. Trends change every year, and nothing looks better than an up-to-date dining room table place setting. Be creative and add your own personal touches to any of these tips to make your dining room table setting tailored to your home.
