More good news: your tablescape doesn’t demand extravagant effort. With just a few creative touches, you can turn it into something extraordinary. No massive spends. Or tedious arrangements. Just the simple beauty of the season.

Simple Yet Stylish Centre Pieces

Your Christmas table needs a focal point. And a little winter foliage is an effortless way to add this. Wrap wreathes around your candles. Or adorn your table runner with festive verdure. Skip the runner to let your greenery be the statement piece.
Use your centerpieces as a way to bring texture to your table. Soft, feathery plants like pine sprigs allow you to drape them over the edge of your table. While the silvery-green leaves of eucalyptus add a contemporary touch; perfectly paired with the warm tones of gold or bronze.

Placemats and coasters are an essential for easy clean-ups. And they’re a great way to merge functionality with flair. If your table’s looking busy, keep it clean with single-toned placemats, napkins, and coasters. If your centerpiece is minimalistic, let these items add some detail. Do Christmas in style and match your colours with the accents in your home. Keep sustainability in mind – buy reusable, timeless items that can be brought out again next year.

Be selective and intentional in arranging your decor. Mix pieces with various heights for a little depth. But space out taller items so they don’t compromise conversation.
Play with unique displays for a distinct style. Hang statement pieces from above. Add spicey scents like rosemary or cinnamon. And seek out aesthetics that speak to you. Inviting your unique taste to the table.
Cast A Merry Glow

Light has the power to transform spaces, especially during the festive season. Cast a welcoming glow with organic candles of various heights. And use delicate fairy lights for that whimsical feel. Don’t limit them to the tree – let them drape down your curtains or hang over doorways and stairs. Be careful not to overdo them – they should add to your ambiance, not take centrestage.

Add a personal touch with handwritten place cards and simplify your seating plan. Forage your garden and tie foliage to spice sprigs or dried orange slices. Pin these to chair backs or napkins for a delicate, final touch to your display.
