Christmas dining room decor
There are so many Christmas dining room decor ideas you can use to transform a year-round dining room into a resplendent entertaining space, from simple fresh, fragrant Christmas table centerpiece ideas and lighting clusters of candles, to hanging statement Christmas decor ideas above the table. To whet your appetite for the options available we've rounded up a host of our favorites below.
1. Go for a rustic, natural theme

Take inspiration from nature and create a calm, comforting space by pairing furniture and tableware in natural materials with winter foliage and candlelight. Let texture take the lead and set the scene with a rustic linen tablecloth, then layer with fir and pine Christmas table garland, placemats in woven jute, and wine goblets made from recycled glass, all available at The White Company.
'When decorating I love a combination of natural materials and finishes. From timber, stone, and sisal floors or rugs to touches of greenery that bring hints of the outside world in. And if possible, it is always great to have fresh flowers and a fire,' says Chrissie Rucker, founder of The White Company.
2. Create a sophisticated setting with white and navy

Create a timeless and elegant dining scheme by decorating with blue and white.
Set the mood for celebration with walls in a dramatic navy and pair with a crisp white tablecloth, simple white bone china crockery and elegant clear crystal glassware and candlesticks. Keep decorations pared-back with silver tealight holders, a white floral centerpiece and a simple fir Christmas garland idea.
3. Delight guests with a beautiful table gift

Christmas table gift ideas make a lovely surprise when guests take their seats and help spread gift-giving out throughout the day, plus they add a lovely decorative flourish to a place setting.
If your table is fairly pared-back, consider ringing the changes with a patterned gift wrap, as styled in this scheme by Neptune , and think about ways you can tie in the Christmas gift-wrapping ideas with the rest of your tablescape. For example, here each gift is finished with a sprig of foliage-sprayed gold to complement the elegant table centerpiece.
4. Channel a cool Scandinavian theme

Create a cool Scandi-inspired scheme by trading in classic red and gold for blue, white, and natural wood.
Switch a formal tablecloth for a rustic woven runner to expose the wooden table beneath and for a pared-back Christmas table centerpiece display sculptural branches in a rustic pot (filled with sand to keep them in place) and pair them with wooden church-style candles.
'Warm things up with wood grains, add fluffy throws on benches or scatter sumptuous cushions onto your bar stools. Anything that’s impossibly soft and tactile will encourage you to cuddle up and relax this festive season,' says Tom Howley, director of Tom Howley Kitchens .
5. Choose a warm berry palette

Warm, welcoming, and cocooning, a red dining room makes a fabulously festive setting for a cozy Christmas celebration and works particularly well when bedecked in a medley of berry and spice shades peppered with metallics. Decorate the table with simple dinnerware and a runner of Christmas foliage along the middle.
If it's not needed for serving then try styling up a sideboard with wrapped gifts and large paper honeycombs.
Hanging a rustic sculptural branch above, laden with pretty baubles, makes a beautiful Christmas wall decor idea.
6. Complement a colorful scheme

Dining rooms that are reserved for Christmas and special occasions can be fabulous places to embrace bold dining room color ideas.
Pairing dining chairs in rich berry-toned velvets with peridot green walls, as done here by Oka , is a great way to create a head-turning jewel-toned scheme, plus, upholstered dining chairs will offer wonderful comfort for guests.
When it comes to festive decor, to prevent a vibrant scheme from becoming overwhelming, choose pared-back decorations such as dried oranges and simple bunches of berry-laden foliage. For a nod to the colorful palette try adding bold dinner candles.
7. Create a colorful carnival atmosphere

Take inspiration from fabric designer Molly Mahon and channel a playful yet sustainable approach to Christmas dining room decor by trading in plastic decorations for a room bedecked in colorful paper streamers and paper chains.
This fun, fiesta-style decor idea works wonderfully with a table in folksy block-printed table linen and the paper chains are a great Christmas craft activity to do with children.
When it comes to how to set the perfect Christmas table, there are no rules, it's about creating an environment that is cozy and welcoming full of joy, so don't be afraid to put a twist on Christmas traditions and embrace the colors you love.

A handy bar cart is brilliant for serving welcome nibbles and drinks to guests, whether it’s a glass of mulled wine, a winter cocktail or something sparkly, plus it provides extra storage for large items like ice buckets that can dominate the dining table.
Set on casters, this Coniston trolley from Neptune be easily moved from room to room – why not wheel it into the lounge to serve after-dinner treats and style it up with fairy lights and a scented candle to set the mood?
9. Go for a quiet country look

Create a relaxed farmhouse Christmas look by teaming bench seating and a gingham tablecloth, such as this from Tori Murphy , with a centerpiece of humble clementines, candlelight and paper decorations.
Foraged foliage topped with fabric bows makes a cottage core-style alternative to a traditional Christmas wreath.
'Upholstered dining chairs have always been the go-to, but upholstered dining benches are also growing in popularity creating a slightly less formal set-up,' says Amanda Huber, owner of Dining Chair Co . 'Once you've picked the shape and design of the chair or bench itself, you can then get creative and have a little fun with your fabric choices and finishing details.'
10. Set the scene with beautiful table linen

No Christmas table is complete without a beautiful tablecloth, it forms the foundation for your table decorating and brings a sense of occasion to dining. Inspired by traditional Hungarian textiles and featuring playful bird motifs, Julia Brendel’s jacquard woven cotton/linen tablecloths and napkins are perfect for bringing an elegant yet folksy feel.
11. Hang your centerpiece from the ceiling

A festive centerpiece is a joyful thing – but not if it gets in the way of you either seeing your guests or being able to reach for the gravy.
‘If space is a concern, why not string a centerpiece above the dining space, leaving more room for food, drinks, and party games,’ says Claire Hornby, head of creative at Barker & Stonehouse . ‘Hanging fresh greenery and twigs accented with glittery baubles and twine will offer a natural twist, whilst a gathering of fairy lights and layered candlelight on the table and chairs will create a soft, cozy glow.’

Crockery is so much more than functional at Christmas – choosing festively patterned plates and more can do wonders for the design of the entire dining room.
‘Lay out your crockery in advance,’ advises stylist Kerry Lockwood . ‘It may seem unnecessary but laying out your crockery makes a huge difference to the overall impact of your table setting. I like to set my table on Christmas Eve so it’s a nice focal point on Christmas morning. Try mixing and matching your crockery to add more interest.’
13. Create mood lighting with candles
(Image credit: Future)
‘Mood lighting is important,’ Jessica Hanley, founder of Piglet In Bed .
‘If it is a special occasion, I often opt for candles in the center to create a more festive feeling.’
In this example, tabletop Christmas tree decor is paired with numerous candles for a glowingly festive look.
‘Candles are always an essential prop whenever I'm setting my Christmas table to create that soft, cozy glow that will create a magical seasonal ambiance to remember,’ says Lockwood. ‘In my opinion, you can never have too many candles! There are so many beautiful ways to style them, whether you prefer traditional taper candle stick holders, clusters of dainty tea lights or more dramatic pillar candles in glass vases. Experiment with different layouts until you find a setting that works for your table shape.’
14. Put a twist on traditional color schemes

When working out how to set the perfect Christmas table, ensuring you balance tradition with your own personal taste is key. This rustic yet contemporary table setting in bold primary blues and reds is finished off with handcrafted ceramics and trailing garlands of delicate honesty seed heads, all presided over by a striking chandelier.
Traditional touches of green are evident in the emerald glassware.
15. Make an intimate setting elegant

Benji Lewis, founder of virtual interior design service, Zoom That Room says: 'Christmas can be stressful for many people, and rather than buying everything new, try to focus on a few key items to ensure that your table is welcoming, elegant and a little bit opulent.'
'I like splashes of gold, paired with chic colors such as blue and ivory. A smart and beautiful table should be packed with your best china and polished glasses, and be ready to welcome everyone to a warm, fun and festive occasion.' he continues. 'Of course, string lights and candles are also a great Christmas addition, bringing twinkling warmth to any room.'
16. Make the feast the focus
(Image credit: Future/Paul Massey)
Here, in cookery writer Skye McAlpine 's Christmas dining room, the table has been set sparsely in a quasi-still-life food tableau, allowing for the feast to take center stage.
Simple glass vases provide the base for an abundance of informal florals and foliage while matching glass tableware is stacked with food, all finished with oversized velvet ribbons on each place setting. The rest of the room is decorated very minimally to allow the dining table to become the focus.
17. Give your dining room the Midas touch
(Image credit: Future/Jan Baldwin)
Create an instantly rich and sumptuous feel to your dining space by draping the table in an oversized tablecloth with layers of trimmings.
Fill a glass cloche with gold baubles and twinkling lights as your centerpiece and echo the gold look on similarly gilded mirrors, candlesticks and curtains.
18. Stick to a calming monochrome scheme
(Image credit: Future/Paul Raeside)
Limiting your color scheme to black and white provides the perfect backdrop for the main event on Christmas Day – the food. Turkey and all the trimmings will take center stage in your scheme, while swathes of greenery will add depth to the scheme.
Soften walls by painting them in a pale gray and introduce reflective surfaces like mirrors and silver baubles so candlelight is amplified.
19. Create an edible still life display
(Image credit: Future/Simon Brown)
With all the elaborate table settings, food and decorations on a dining table at Christmas, space is often at a premium. Stretch out onto adjacent surfaces like consoles or sideboards to create a snacking area that can be left long after your meal is over.
Fruit and cheese or fruitcakes and mince pies are all contenders for creating an elegant and edible still-life tableau. Use cake stands and glass covers for added height and frame the area by hanging a smart wreath on the wall just above.
20. Choose a simple, unfussy scheme
(Image credit: Future/Mark Bolton)
If you don't have a separate dining room, instead host Christmas in your open-plan kitchen diner, often the most effective table dressing is a simple one to ensure it doesn't compete with the rest of the space.
Invest in a beautiful set of dining furniture and let that be the focus. Decorate the table with fragrant springs of eucalyptus with a simple centerpiece of greenery and choose linens in neutral shades.
21. Mix pink and green for a fresh feel
(Image credit: Future/Simon Brown)
Created by interior designer Kate Guinness , this dining scheme avoids the traditional shades of red, green, gold and silver.
Instead, the combination of fresh apple green and pink provides an elegant dining space that can be enjoyed year-round. A fresh floral centerpiece is all that's needed to style the space up for the festive season. You could also learn how to fold a Christmas tree napkin to add a subtle yet fun flourish to place settings.
22. Introduce plenty of festive greenery
(Image credit: Future/Chris Everard)
Create a stunning festive display using the best flowers and Christmas foliage ideas the season has to offer. Start with a theme for your Christmas dining table display – perhaps a color of a particular type of flower or foliage – eucalyptus, with its green-blue-silvery leaves is the perfect inspiration for a festive color scheme.
If you have a small dining table, place sprigs of evergreen foliage and fresh flowers in miniature bottles and set them in a line in the middle. Finish with delicate glassware, and simple white candles to complete the look.
23. Embrace a soft, neutral palette
(Image credit: Future/Emma Lee)
Christmas decor doesn't need to be overflowing with bright colors. The restrained simplicity of a paneled room makes an elegant backdrop for festive dining. Decorate with kraft paper hanging stars and a simple pine centerpiece to complement the gently muted palette.
24. Try an alternative color combination
(Image credit: Future/Laura Edwards)
For many, Christmas will be very different this year compared to last, so why not highlight the contrast by creating a scheme that is bright and bursting with color?
Choose plenty of mismatched prints and mix them up on table linens, cushions or pillows, choose bold artwork for your wall decor ideas, and decorate the table with a centerpiece of colorful blooms and brightly colored candles.

Most people prefer to know what's on the menu before they sit down to a meal and while Christmas lunch rarely strays from tradition, every household's take on the meal differs.
If you have guests joining you, a simple chalkboard menu perched on a sideboard is guaranteed to whet their appetite. Drape the menu with some simple greenery and serve pre-dinner cocktails or aperitifs alongside.
26. Make your table sparkle

Twinkling battery-operated Christmas lights ideas are perfect for enhancing this bespoke wreath made using fresh flowers and foliage, and suspended from ribbons above the table.
The second string of fairy lights has been placed inside a gold-colored glass vase, turning a simple garland of fresh ivy into a star attraction.
27. Fill your home with festive fragrance

Looking for ways to make your home smell nice? Evocative scents like pine, gingerbread, and mulled wine are easily linked with a Christmassy atmosphere.
Have a go at baking a simple wreath made from overlapping gingerbread stars and hang it above a sideboard where you can create a simple mulled wine station for your guests, decorated with fresh pine branches and delicate twinkling lights. Culinary nods are also a great idea for your kitchen Christmas decor ideas too.
28. Add a feminine touch with delicate, wintery fabric

Elegantly appliqued fabric makes a beautiful tablecloth for special Christmas traditions and celebrations and gives the table an almost-magical look.
Pair with a dramatic burnished gold candelabra to create a striking centerpiece and echo the look with simple chair back decorations make from paper baubles and frosted pine cones.
29. Forage for festive decorations

You don't necessarily have to go all out on buying new decorations for your home every year.
Sometimes the best accessories are growing in your backyard among your outdoor Christmas decor ideas.
Head outside on Christmas morning and gather up bunches of ivy, pine, grasses... anything that will add a touch of verdant beauty to your table and surrounding surfaces for a fresh take on a festive scheme.
30. Add decorative swags to seating for a fabulous finishing touch

Fresh or faux, nothing says Christmas like a clutch of green branches and pine cone decorations tied up with a scarlet ribbon.
'For a dinner party, weave bright berries or fresh flowers through Christmas wreaths and place them on the backs of chairs or on the dining table for a lovely natural touch that no one will be expecting,' says Sue Jones, co-founder and creative director of Oka .
Make one for each of your dining chairs and secure them to the back of each seat with ribbons or pins. Repeat this look with a matching mantle garland spiked with red blooms or berries and again with another stretching down the center of your dining table.
31. Decorate with touches of Arctic white

Rich chocolate upholstery and table linen are beautifully offset on this simple Christmas table with brilliant white accents on the tableware.
The nature-themed accessories lend a Narnia-esque feel to the space, helped in part by the fresh greenery on the table and the burst of elegant blooms among the Christmas mantel decor ideas.
32. Adorn your table with traditional festive shades

A generous table centerpiece, festooned with colorful baubles and gold ferns, immediately strikes a celebratory note. Welcome guests with handmade place cards and crackers that coordinate with your scheme.
33. Rearrange your display storage
(Image credit: Future/Emma Lee)
Glass-fronted cabinets in dining spaces have everything on show 24/7, so these too need to be considered when decorating the room for Christmas.
Make yours look beautiful as well as useful by rearranging the shelving, bringing favorite, festive pieces to the fore, and adding battery-operated tea lights in colored or frosted jars.
34. Create your own color scheme
(Image credit: Future/Emma Lee)
You don’t have to stick to usual Christmas color combinations. Foliage here adds a festive twist, while the mismatched chairs in a vivid emerald green, together with green glass baubles on each place setting give a contemporary spin to the festivities.
35. Stretch out your serving spaces

Commandeering a console table from your Christmas hallway decor ideas as an extra surface for the cheeseboard and drinks saves space on the dining table and offers an opportunity for a beautifully composed presentation. The addition of the tall candles draws your attention to the space, highlighting it for guests and family alike.
36. Play with natural symmetry

By accentuating the natural symmetry of a table and its surroundings, you can create a visually pleasing table setting with the minimum of decor.
Here, three small vases of flowers on the table are flanked by two candelabras and a single chandelier above, all pulling focus into the center of the table. The simple and minimal table settings feature delicate glassware and plain matching linens to create a chic and elegant spread.
37. Give your festive decor fresh, country feel

Pairing plain wood furniture with white-painted wooden pieces is a recipe for success with farmhouse Christmas decor ideas.
Bring in a wash of cocooning color with powder blue walls and floral patterned drapes, echoed on festive table settings and centerpieces for a simple nod to the celebrations.
38. Create an after-dinner treats area

After a huge Christmas feast, finding space for dessert can often be a struggle. This year, why not take a break from the final course and instead leave a selection of treats out on a sideboard, alongside some suitable after-dinner drinks, so that guests can help themselves?
Here, a large glass jar of individually wrapped amaretti biscuits and a silver tray of chocolates sit alongside a collection of delicate colored glass decanters and jugs that match the pink-red hues of the decor scheme. Complete the display with a single tapered candle in a tall holder.
39. Pick a white Christmas for a Scandi feel

Create a chic Nordic style with pale hues, natural textures, and charcoal accents.
The White Company ’s Chrissie Rucker says, ‘start with a white cloth and napkins, plus your best glasses and china. I like to mix plain and scented candles, adding vases of snowberries and herbs, such as rosemary.’
40. Let nature feature at the dining table
(Image credit: Future/Paul Raeside)
A large fir Christmas wreath given pride of place can be enough for some Christmas decorators.
When dressing the table, stay true to this simple approach with a white linen cloth and napkins, and plain china. Or, put wreaths on the back of dining chairs for a true sense of occasion.
41. Entertain in style
(Image credit: Future/Chris Everard)
Create a simple home bar by throwing a cloth over a console table and displaying glasses, decanters, and wine buckets. Add a selection of nuts and crystallized fruit on cake stands for color and contrast.
What can I put on my dining room table for Christmas?
There are all sorts of ways to decorate a dining table for Christmas, from simple touches like arranging candles in the center, to festive table garlands and mini table-top Christmas trees.
For a classic look you can’t go wrong with a centerpiece of fresh seasonal foliage and flowers. ‘Forage or source foliage that will last throughout the season as the base to all your floral arrangements. English pine, holly, twigs, winter eucalyptus – anything that will dry nicely and add a festive scent,’ says Ronny Colbie , luxury floral designer.
‘Once you have the base of foliage you can simply add flowers to suit and change as they wilt. For long-lasting flowers, you’re best off with Amaryllis, Hydrangea, or winter berries. For texture, you can add small baubles and dried fruits.’
Can I put my Christmas tree in the dining room?
If space allows placing a large Christmas tree in the corner of a dining room is guaranteed to bring festive splendor to the occasion. However, if you only have a small dining room or kitchen diner you needn't miss out – there are plenty of mini table-top and small potted trees available perfect for using as a table centerpiece, styling a sideboard, or placing on a window sill to inject festive magic into your dining space.
If it's in a plastic pot wrap it in fabric or hessian.

How to decorate the table for the New Year 2023 with your own hands: tips and interesting ideas
Planning a menu for a gala dinner is one of the most important parts of preparing for the celebration.
But equally important is not only what you cook, but also how you serve it. The mood of the guests will largely depend on the elegant serving, so it’s definitely worth paying attention to it. We tell you how to decorate the New Year's table 2023, taking into account fashion trends and design advice.
General rules for festive table setting
1. Compliance with the general style of home decoration
Photo: pixabay.comIt is clear that table setting for a holiday, especially for a New Year's feast, should be brighter than everyday. But it is also important to combine it with the rest of the concept in decorating the house. For example, if you chose the Scandinavian style for the New Year's decoration of your home, then restraint and naturalness should reign on the table. The same applies to the color scheme - we are looking for a match in the interior of the living room or kitchen.
2. Composition planning
Photo: pixabay.com The main principle is that the table should not be crowded with plates, common dishes and decorations.
The table should be suitable for the company that you will gather. If the space seems to be small, think about what can be put away on adjacent surfaces and shelves (for example, a bowl of fruit) and served as a feast. And in any case, for the New Year's party, you will have to use the largest table that you have in your house.
3. Combination of tablecloth, dishes and decorations
Photo: pixabay.comThe traditional color for a festive tablecloth is white, but this is not at all necessary. It can be monophonic, but bright, or even motley. Only in the latter case, it is better to stop at dishes in neutral tones and remove almost all the rest of the decor, stopping the candles as much as possible.
4. Compliance with the sequence
Photo: pixabay.comAnd it is in general terms:
- the table is covered with tablecloth , while it is important to make sure that its ends hang down by about 30-40 centimeters; nine0026
- lay out napkins for each set of cutlery (fabric ones are placed or artistically arranged on plates, paper ones must be hidden with one edge under the plate).
You can completely limit yourself to a napkin holder on the table if all your small company has gathered;
- further arrange plates . Everything is standard - first a large one for hot, on it - a snack bar. The distance from the edge of the table is about 2 cm. For children, you can pick up funny bowls with Christmas drawings. And of course, no plastic utensils even for serving dishes - it immediately kills the whole mood for New Year's magic. Leave the cheap looking plastic for outdoor picnics; nine0026
- about appliances is also clear: the classic version is a fork to the left of the plate with the teeth up, a knife to the right with the tip to the plate, next to it we put a spoon if you suddenly need it on the New Year's table. On the occasion of the holiday, you can deviate a little from tradition and place the devices directly on the plate; Pexels nine0026
If you decide to organize a buffet at your home for the New Year 2023, then everything is even easier here.
Food is placed in the center of the table (an important detail is that all dishes must be cooked and served in such a way that they can only be taken with a fork, without the help of a knife). Plates are stacked along the edges, next to them are forks and glasses, which each guest takes for himself.
5. Decorating the dishes themselves
You should not build a Christmas tree out of salami and pigtail cheese or lay out slices of cucumbers in the form of numbers 2023. But it is still desirable to decorate the dishes with which you will treat guests. Use greens (marjoram or mint leaves will be an original option, but you can limit yourself to the usual parsley), olives and black olives, red pepper arrows, decorative cream and cinnamon. nine0003
How to decorate the table for the New Year 2023: tips and ideas
The general rules of serving are clear, now let's look at what we can actually use to decorate the table for the New Year, except for tablecloths and fancy dishes.
Candles
Photo: Nubia Navarro, pexels.comThey are usually placed in the center of the table, at a sufficient distance from the guests' dishes and plates. Candlesticks for them can be easily made by yourself. Also a fashionable option is to use an apple sprinkled with cinnamon or sparkles (depending on the general style) with a cut out core as a candle stand. nine0003
When choosing candles for decor, don't forget about fire safety. To avoid unpleasant surprises, they can be placed in small containers of water, well, or stop at electric small lamps, they will also look great.
Ribbons
Photo: Laura James, pexels.comColored ribbons (or neutral linen if you have a nature-inspired design) decorate cutlery, chairs and decanters. Bows, beautifully laid out over the entire surface of the table, will also look good. Do not forget about small bows and on the legs of glasses - with them your toast for the upcoming New Year will be doubly festive. nine0003

Fashion tips for decorating the festive table for 2023
1. Double tablecloth or contrasting napkins
Designers say that it is advisable to refuse bright multi-colored tablecloths this winter, choose a plain one instead. And even better - double, when first a large wide tablecloth (usually white) is laid on the table, and a narrower contrasting one (it is called a runner) is placed on it in the center of the table.
This is how a kind of “path” is obtained, on which there are common dishes and snacks. This trend is more suitable for a rectangular table; for round ones, choose tablecloths with embroidery along the edge. Or you can limit yourself to contrasting napkins. nine0003
