Christmas Tablescape Ideas

I haven’t started decorating for Christmas yet, but I plan on starting very soon and probably this week. We have a project we’re working on and I’m trying to get that all cleaned up before I start decorating. But it’s fun to look back at past years to see what I did around here. Today I’m looking at my tables for ideas on on how I can change things up and do something a bit different with the mix I have of Christmas decor. 

And a few friends are joining me today too and sharing some of their favorite Christmas decorating ideas, so please be sure and visit them too


A couple of years ago I did this pretty blue and white bowl filled with metallic ornaments and loved this look. The gold and white mixed with the blues is such a regal look for the holidays. 

I love a traditional plaid mixed with transferware, such a classic and elegant look. I get asked about these bamboo flatware and I’ve got them linked below. 

This was a fun table to set and I’m not positive what I’ll do this year, but I’ll come up with something I’m sure. 

Golds and blues are always a great combination and they sure look nice with my lamps on the sideboard.

Last year, I did this traditional look with a couple of nutcrackers and added more red in the mix and I loved it too. 

 

Same plaid placemats, but a different runner and plates. The red and white is another good combo for Christmas. You can put anything under a glass dome and it looks so festive and pretty. Those cute reindeer twig votive holders are from Amazon and I’ve linked them below too. 

I adore these metal twig deer votives that I found on Amazon a couple years ago. They add such a cute look to the place settings. 

Here are some similar items as you see in my dining room (affiliate links):

This was the first year we moved in our house and I did a simple display with a wreath and gold and white deer along with my blue and white dishes. 

No matter how I decorate the dining room, it will be fun to celebrate again this year. Are you getting in the mood to decorate this year? I think we’re all ready to get back to normal and enjoy the holidays with family and friends. I know I am! 

Here are some of the same or similar items that are in my dining room, so check out the widget below (affiliate links): 

Don’t miss these friends sharing their homes below. It may give you inspiration for your own Christmas decorating. I know I always look back on what I’ve done in previous years to figure out what I want to do this year. I try to change things up, but I keep my same tried and true treasures that have been with me for many years.

    I typically dont start decorating until the day after Thanksgiving or that weekend but I already have my colors/decor chosen and a game plan on how I am going to decorate. I am not a traditional red/green gal although I do like plaids used with navy/white. Last year, I used silvers and whites and this year I am adding copper in the mix that plays really well off my Moscow mule mugs and a new table runner with copper pinecones that I found at HomeGoods last week. I always add one or two new things each year to change things up and buy early weeks before Thanksgiving. Also in early November, I go through my Christmas decor storage tubs and if I see things I havent used in several years or more I take it to consignment and out of rotation. This keeps from having too much clutter accumulate. Speaking of clutter, I am a less is more type of Christmas decorator. I don’t like a too over-done look and think pieces stand out more if they aren’t overshadowed by having too much decor. Cant wait until all the bloggers do your annual Christmas House Tours!

      Hi, Teresa, sounds like you are very organized. I need to be better about clearing out old stuff and not packing it back up if I’m not using things. Those Christmas tours will be here soon!

      I enjoy getting it all done by Thanksgiving since it feels like I can then relax the whole month of December and enjoy it all.

    Rhoda, I always enjoy seeing your lovely tablescapes! You always do such a great job and give us lots of ideas for our Christmas tables.

    I just ordered the set of 6 Deer Tealights! They are just so cute and will look so nice on our table at Christmas. Thanks for sharing everything with us.
