Set the tone for this year's Christmas table
Before you start dusting off the glasses and setting out the fine cutlery, it may be worth thinking about how you want to decorate the Christmas table. Maybe you want to use a canvas in a special color? Start from what you have and think about which accessories could fit. Classic Christmas colors such as red, green, white or gold fit perfectly on the Christmas table. Look in kitchen cupboards, drawers or in the attic for nice Christmas decorations in similar colours. Often, you already have decorations hidden away that are waiting to come into their own. Create an additional Christmas atmosphere on the table by setting out candles and candlesticks that radiate a pleasant glow.
This is how you create a classic Christmas table
Do you want to create an atmospheric Christmas table in a classic spirit? Play with classic Christmas accessories that come in red, gold or silver. Let the tablecloth on the table form the basis - a burgundy tablecloth sets a special mark on a Christmas table. Also try placing a candelabra with candles on the table for a little extra cozy factor. Serve the food in pots and bowls with matching colors, why not put some raisins and almonds in a couple of classic dessert bowls? Also keep in mind that you can play with decorations on top - let snacks or dessert be served on beautiful multi-tiered cake plates. The glow of the candles and the classic elements of the table bring to mind the old days.
The Christmas table with elements of nature
If you instead want to scale down this year's Christmas table a bit, a rustic and close-to-nature decoration may be preferable. Be amazed at how small details can go a long way, you don't have to put out all the decorations to create the Christmas spirit. Play with elements from nature such as twigs or moss. A tablecloth in natural colors also fits a little better here, for example choose tablecloths with slightly rustic materials such as washed linen or coarse cotton. Tablecloths in slightly beige colors create a natural foundation for the rest of the decorations to stand on. Take the opportunity to present a candlestick in a modern design like our "Asta candlestick". Try playing with different materials on the table. Place the 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 designs before you find the right one.
