Set the tone for this year's Christmas table
Before you start dusting off the glasses and setting out the fine cutlery, it might be worth considering how you want to decorate the Christmas table. Perhaps you want to use a tablecloth in a special color? Start with what you have and think about which accessories could fit. Classic Christmas colors like red, green, white, or gold are perfect for the Christmas table. Look in kitchen cabinets, drawers, or the attic for beautiful Christmas decorations in similar colors. Often you already have hidden decorations waiting to be showcased. Create additional Christmas atmosphere on the table by placing out candles and candle holders that emit a pleasant glow.
Create a classic Christmas table - here's how you do it
Do you want to create a cozy Christmas table in a classic style? Play with classic Christmas accessories in red, gold, or silver. Let the tablecloth be the foundation - a burgundy tablecloth adds a special touch to a Christmas table. Also, try placing a candelabra with candles on the table for a little extra coziness. Serve the food in pots and bowls with matching colors, why not add some raisins and almonds in a couple of classic dessert bowls? Also, think about playing with decorations in height - let snacks or desserts be presented on beautiful multi-tiered cake stands. The glow of the candles and the classic elements of the table evoke thoughts of old days.
Christmas table with elements of nature
If you instead feel like scaling down this year's Christmas table a bit, a rustic and nature-inspired decoration may be preferable. Be amazed at how small details can go a long way; you don't need to set out all the decorations to create a Christmas atmosphere. Play with elements from nature such as twigs or moss. A tablecloth in natural colors fits better here; for example, choose tablecloths made of slightly rustic materials such as washed linen or coarse cotton. Tablecloths in slightly beige colors create a natural base for the rest of the decorations to stand on. Take the opportunity to set out a candle holder in modern design like our "Asta candle holder." Try playing with different materials on the table. Serve food on wooden trays or in small bowls - play with the colors and shapes of the food. Sometimes you have to try a few different arrangements before you find the right one.
