The best days of the year are approaching. We will gather with family and friends to celebrate all together. Many of us have spent a few days buying everything we need for lunch and dinner these days, but have we already thought about how we will decorate the table? We propose two very different ways to do it.
Elegance and sophistication at your Christmas table
If you have already saved a budget for the decoration of the table, we suggest that you spend it on decoration and not for the tableware, that is, we are sure that you have white plates, cutlery and crystal glasses in your home. Use this budget to buy, for example, a solid color table runner. Our tip is to put a dark color. Having the white plates makes the contrast very elegant.
We also recommend that you use napkin rings of the same color. These could also have a Christmas object or a small card with the name of the person who sits there. It seems like a very simple detail, but we all like to know that they have cared about us and seeing our name always brings a small smile to our faces.
If the table is wide and there is space between the diners, we recommend putting a centerpiece. It doesn't have to be very exaggerated or big. A little detail. It could be a couple or three candles or string lights that make the atmosphere more intimate and elegant.
Christmas table with its own style
Changing the style completely, now we propose one with much more color. A style that the smallest of the house can help you, since it is more of a free style or DIY style.
Our proposal is simple, create yourselves the centerpieces , the napkin rings and the table runner. Yes, you read that right. Why not do it ourselves? It's not very complicated. For example, to make the table runner, all you need is a piece of cloth the size of your table. Our tip is that you take a couple of colors that you like and that can combine well with your Christmas decoration and make a small border on the edge of the fabric. It shouldn't be very complicated. Quite the opposite. Something simple that children can do.
You can also make the napkin rings at home. Very simple with the paper roll tubes. It can be easily painted and decorated with the help of the little ones. You will see that you can spend a very fun afternoon with them. In addition, you can also put the name of the person who will sit there.
Finally, you can also create the centerpiece with pine bouquets collected with a pair of strings. A simple DIY but that is very successful.
Decorate how you decorate the table, the most important thing these days is to enjoy yours. Have an amazing few days and see you soon.
