How to create a beautiful Christmas table?

Christmas is fast approaching. More than ever, we all need to gather around the traditional Christmas table. It's important to feel good and enjoy the time together with friends and family. 

For a perfect Christmas table, everything has to be mastered: from the small decoration, through the lights to the dishes! 

What atmosphere to create for your Christmas table? 

First of all, you should know that the basics are still the best. This year, naturalness is in the spotlight in our homes, especially at Christmas. But there are still many possibilities. You can create a sober, uncluttered table with a pretty tablecloth. For a sophisticated festive table, gold and black will be your best allies. For a trendy party table, multiply the shine by adding string lights and candle holders. No matter what atmosphere you choose for your wooden table, the main thing is that it is consistent with the atmosphere of your home.

Next, you may be wondering what colors to use for the atmosphere you have chosen. Green, gold, beige or red are perfect for the festive season. Red remains a great Christmas classic, and the tradition par excellence. However, you can opt for a burgundy shade, which is a good compromise for a traditional and modern Christmas. Shades of green reflect a modern and relaxed atmosphere. Nowadays, they are not only applied to the tree, but also to our solid wood tables for that little touch of nature around our glasses. Finally, white is perfect for creating a successful Nordic atmosphere. It goes with all colors and all decorations. 

Which decoration to choose for your wooden table?

Now that you have decided on the atmosphere you want to create on your table and the predominant colors, it's time to select the decoration! The secret to a beautiful Christmas table is to select small decorations so as not to overload it. Figurines, miniature baubles, candle holders, decorative napkin rings, fairy lights, centerpieces or table runners... Everything must be chosen with care. 

There is an order to the arrangement of decorative elements. It is necessary to start with the objects that take up the most space on the wooden table, and then refine the decoration with the smaller elements. So start with the runner or centerpiece. Next, place the garland of lights if you have chosen one, and then place the candleholders to create that sought-after light source. This will create a cozy and intimate atmosphere. Add the last elements you want: baubles, figurines, as well as the small decoration to spread on your table like flakes or glitter. Finally, for the perfect Christmas table, don't forget the main plates with smaller ones, get out your best cutlery, and place your wine and water glasses. These are great classics, but real essentials for a beautiful Christmas table. 

For a nature-themed decoration, as we have chosen here, we have been inspired by the forest with some freshly picked pine branches. This brings a touch of greenery to the center of our table. Next, let's match the colors that go with it. Let your imagination run wild with your Christmas table theme. For an inexpensive way to decorate, consider creating your own centerpiece, for example. Use pine cones and place them in the greenery and you're done! You are now ready to welcome your guests to celebrate the end of the year.
