How To Create a Beautiful Holiday Tablescape

The holidays are a time for celebration and joy. They're also the perfect opportunity to share your love with friends and family in a special way, such as through an elaborate table setting. In this article, we'll show you how to create a beautiful holiday tablescape that is sure to impress!

Consider The Color Scheme
Before creating your gorgeous holiday tablescape, you'll first want to choose the right color scheme. While choosing green or red is traditional, you don't have to follow this palette strictly. Don't be afraid to try something different by using golds, silvers, wood, burgundy, or even blush colors throughout your table.

Choose The Right Lighting
Lighting is a crucial element when creating an attractive tablescape. You can use the right light sources to highlight your favorite pieces and decorations while also ensuring they are aesthetically pleasing from all angles of the table. For example, you might choose to include candles or twinkling Christmas lights throughout your arrangement or add additional lamps and floor lighting around the table to highlight your creativity.

Add Natural Elements
Making sure to include different fresh features in your home is essential to creating a beautiful holiday tablescape. Add a touch of nature to your holiday tablescape by incorporating natural elements such as pinecones, twigs, berries, fresh flowers, or even delicate tree branches to add color and texture to your table. There are so many creative ways to integrate natural elements, whether they're used as an arrangement to accompany your table decorations or as silverware holders.

Optimize Your Layers
There are many different layers to a beautiful holiday tablescape. First, make sure you're using all of the right materials and textures, such as cloth napkins, china plates, silverware holders, candles in clear glass jars or terracotta pots, and fresh flowers as the centerpiece. Then, mix and match these items, or layer them to create a unique, standout look for your holiday table.

Mix And Match Existing Glassware
You don't have to buy all new glasses for your holiday tablescape! Instead, you can easily make use of what you already own by mixing and matching different colored glassware, such as red wine stems with water goblets or clear tumblers. This adds a pop of color without having to spend an arm and a leg on expensive pieces that you might not use all the time.

Add The Finishing Touches 
To make your tablescape even more unique, add in a few finishing touches! These could include small details such as votive candles that are stored inside glass jars or wooden boxes for extra impact, fresh greenery that is tucked into each napkin fold to create an attractive focal point, or even a small bundle of pinecones tied with twine to take your tablescape from ordinary to extraordinary.
