How to style your Christmas table
It’s time to set your tables, the guests are arriving! Can you believe it’s officially December?
Whether you’re setting up for a small Christmas dinner or hosting for many, we have curated Christmas table setting ideas that will impress any guest and help you celebrate the magical day in style. Keep reading to discover our top 4 Christmas table setting ideas below.
Joyful Christmas
Add a touch of tradition to your Christmas table setting with a festive red and green colour palette. Our Joyful Christmas range is a playful take on a classic Christmas style, bringing the magic of past holiday seasons to the table and embracing nostalgia.
Create your own rustic Christmas table setting by adding reds and greens to your table, incorporating warm tones through woven placemats and coasters and adding the finishing festive touch with a holly inspired Christmas table cloth, Christmas napkins and Christmas table decorations.
Botanical Christmas
Blend the magic of Christmas with the beauty of nature this festive season with a botanical inspired table setting. Starting your Christmas table styling with a calm colour palette of fresh green and white, the botanical look is versatile – so you can pick your own adventure when it comes to styling it.
To celebrate Christmas in a uniquely Australian way, we recommend adding Eucalyptus motifs to your Christmas setting either through your tablecloth, placemat and coasters or by adding a Eucalyptus garland to your table centrepiece. Complete your Australian table setting with an arrangement of native Australian flowers that are sure to impress your guests.
Alternatively, take a more traditional approach to the botanical look by accenting your table setting with classic Christmas tree motifs. Style a Christmas tree print tablecloth with a dark green runner, add a pine leaf stem or create a centrepiece using Christmas tree table decorations to create a festive and fresh table setting full of the wonders of Christmas.
Coastal Christmas
Reminiscent of sand, salt, and sea, a coastal palette may feel more authentic to your Christmas celebrations. You need not be by the sea to enjoy a coastal-style Christmas. Layer blue and white table linen, scalloped placemats and accents of gold to create an elevated coastal look for your Christmas lunch or Christmas dinner. By adding shell, starfish or palm napkin rings and seaside Christmas ornaments you’ll create a Christmas setting that reflects the beauty of the seaside for you and your guests to enjoy.
Fiesta Christmas
This Christmas, we’re all about bringing vibrant colours, bold patterns and a lively, festive atmosphere to your holiday celebration. To create a Fiesta inspired Christmas table setting, pair brightly patterned table runners and napkins with colourful glassware.
Whichever theme you choose for your Christmas table setting, we hope you enjoy your holiday season! We can’t wait to see all the looks you create – be sure to tag us @pillowtalkaustralia on Instagram when you share your Christmas table styling.
