33 Standout Dining Table Décor Ideas
Design: Mindy Gayer, Photo: Vanessa Lentine
Your dining room isn’t finished the moment you’ve moved all your furniture in. No room feels fully complete until it’s been adorned with décor—and the same holds true in your dining room. Yes, you may have hung art on your walls or put a pretty mirror in your space, but have you considered what décor should live on your table in between meals and dinner parties?
Thankfully, dining room table décor ideas are abound—and the options are so vast and varied that you can easily find one that suits your space. There are colorful tablescapes, sleek centerpieces, and everything in between. And the best part: dining room table décor is temporary, so you can experiment with one idea today, try another tomorrow, and continue working your way down the list for years to come.
Of course, this journey requires ample inspo—and we have plenty of it to share. Scroll on to see some of the boldest, prettiest, and most absolutely delightful dining room table décor ideas we could find.

Candlesticks make a classic addition to any dining room, and if yours are particularly pretty, let them serve as your centerpiece.
Pair a light wooden table in a sleek white room with black candlesticks and black candles to match. The bold centerpiece will attract the eye without disrupting your minimalist palette, adding contrast and cohesion to your space in equal measure.

Most of us seek contrast in our centerpieces, and we look for bowls, vases, and candlesticks that will complement our dining room tables. But, why not look for pieces that will match it, instead?
A black bowl can look surprisingly eye-catching on a black dining room table—adding visual interest while maintaining the sleek, sophisticated palette you’ve managed to curate.

Fresh flowers are the cherry on top of any well-decorated space—and they make a stunning centerpiece. Sure, it can be a little frustrating to cycle through dining room table décor on a weekly basis, or slightly less frequently, if your flowers are particularly long-lasting.
But, when the upside is a fresh, new centerpiece that looks and smells great, the tradeoff is worth it.

Yael Weiss Interiors
When you place items close together, they look related, and this rule of thumb will make crafting creative centerpieces a whole lot easier. Simply cluster your décor together tightly enough, and suddenly, the whole will look greater than the sum of its parts.

Many of us place our centerpieces in the middle of our dining room tables. After all, the word has center in its name. But, playing with asymmetry can be just as fun.
Place your centerpiece off-center, and watch as your space is transformed. Just be sure you’ve placed it off-center enough to look intentional—not accidentally unbalanced.

Don’t force yourself to choose between vases, bowls, and candlesticks if you don’t want to—simply stock up on all three. You can cluster them in the center of your table, or spread them out across it.
Either way, you’re in for a dining room table that looks dynamic, textured, and uniquely your own.

Vases are a no-fail addition to any space that could use a little décor, and if you have a few stunning options worth showcasing, display them all at once. Mix and match vases of different sizes and colors, and remember that you don’t have to fill all of them with plants.
If the vases echo colors that are already in your home’s palette, they’ll fit right into your space. And if they don’t, look for options that will complement your dining room décor.

Rikki Snyder
Your dining room table décor can be exactly as sleek or fun as you want it to be, so stock up on options that suit your space. If your dining room is full of vibrant colors, don’t let that stop at your centerpiece. Stock up on vases that are equally bold, and allow them to make your palette even more dynamic.

If you do a lot of reading at your dining room table—or honestly, even if you don’t—it can be worth it to keep a few of your favorite books nearby.
Opt for a small stack of your go-to reads, or keep a couple coffee table books on hand.
You can pile them next to your centerpiece, place them underneath it, or use them to replace the one you currently have on display.

If you’ve paired your dining room table with a sprawling bench, consider decorating it instead. This will keep your table feeling neat and tidy while allowing you to add a touch of dynamic décor to your space.
Look for options that feel practical, like a plush throw or a few books. Décor looks out of place when it doesn’t make at least a little sense, so make sure yours suits the purpose of the bench and the room at large.

Fresh fruit is an incredibly pretty thing, so why not take advantage of your just-bought produce and turn it into a centerpiece? Fresh oranges can add a pop of color and personality to an otherwise-minimalist space, and other kinds of fruit can make just as much of an impact.

Table runners are a go-to choice for dining room décor, and there are plenty of ways to make the classic accent feel more contemporary.
Start by opting for a thinner, shorter table runner that echoes the sleekest colors in your space—yes, black is on the menu. Then, pair it with some low-profile dinnerware and some modern décor, and voila, you’ve got a surprisingly sleek tablescape on your hands.

A massive dining room table doesn’t necessarily need a large centerpiece. In fact, a smaller centerpiece might make even more of a statement since it will create such visual contrast.
That’s not to say that you can’t pair large centerpieces with large tables. You absolutely can, and should if you want to. But, if you find yourself drawn to the idea of playing with contrast, size can be a great way to do it.

Your centerpiece can be a great place to add new color to your space, but it also offers an opportunity to cement the palette you already have.
Keep an eye on some of the accent shades in your space, and choose a centerpiece that matches them.

Katie Hodges Design
The best décor is both pretty and practical, so look for ways to integrate both into your space. Pair a lush plant with an appetizing snack tray, and watch as your dining room begins to feel even warmer and more welcoming—just be sure to replace the snacks on your snack tray. Otherwise, the décor choice isn’t actually that practical.

Pure Salt Interiors
Many plant-based centerpieces are either fake or in constant need of replacement—we’re looking at you, fresh flowers. But, there’s no rule that says you can’t use a lush live plant as your centerpiece instead.
Consider the lighting situation in your dining room, and look for a plant that can thrive there. Then, find a planter that suits your home’s aesthetic, and introduce the plant to your space.

Often, we see candlesticks that match each other perfectly, but a less uniform set can look just as great in your space.
Consider stocking up on single candlesticks that resemble each other slightly, but not perfectly, and adorn your dining room table with them.
You’ll end up with a tablescape that feels dynamic, but cohesive. And since you’re curating the set yourself, you can make it as vibrant or as sleek as you want it to be.

Dark décor may seem like a bold choice for any space, but it can look absolutely lovely in your dining room. Stock up on sleek black pieces, and watch as they transform your space.
If the rest of your room is already dark and cozy, this décor choice will leave it feeling even more grounded. And if it’s lighter or brighter, they’ll add a welcome dose of contrast to your dining room.

If your kitchen cabinets are stocked with pretty serving ware, consider displaying some of it on your dining room table. The pieces will act a little like sculptures. And since serving ware plays a key role in dining and entertaining, they’ll make intuitive sense in your space.

Gray Space Interiors
Want your dining room table to feel decorated, but not cluttered? Try simply setting the table. Put out your prettiest plates, display your boldest cloth napkins, and stock up on a few napkin rings that’ll bring your space together.
Of course, your tablescape doesn’t have to look exactly like this: maybe your shelves are lined with colorful wine glasses or your drawers are filled with antique silverware. Showcase your prettiest finds—and don’t be surprised if you suddenly start daydreaming about dinner parties.

Your centerpiece doesn’t have to be just one item—and it doesn’t have to be a cluster of items, either. Instead, it can be a pair of statement-making pieces.
Create contrast by combining a taller item with a shorter one, or create balance by pairing items of similar heights. If you focus on highlighting items you love, you’re bound to end up with a very delightful centerpiece.

Katie Martinez Design
Clustering décor can get intimidating. There are so many colors, shapes, sizes, and textures to consider—and that’s a lot to keep track of. So, if you’re looking for an easier way to curate a clustered centerpiece, consider constraining your palette to just one color. By cutting back on the variety you’re playing with, you’re more likely to end up with something that feels balanced and cohesive.

Julian Porcino
A centerpiece can be anything: a patterned vase, a piece of fruit—or even a completely useless bauble. If you find a decorative item you love looking at, give it a try.
Ultimately, you want to end up with a dining room you love spending time in, and if putting a surprisingly pretty log in the middle of your table will help you love your space more, take the risk.

Proem Studio
If you’re looking for a less obvious way to decorate your dining room table, consider turning your table runner sideways.
Just be sure your table runner is short enough not to hit the floor when you do this, or you might want to consider buying a new option.
This can be a great way to add some color or texture to your space. And since table runners tend to be soft, the choice may leave the room feeling cozier, too.

LeClair Decor
If a clustered centerpiece seems unwieldy to you, consider using a tray to keep things organized. The tray will add order to your décor, keeping your dining room table feeling neat and tidy. Since it will give you another décor element to play with, it might make your space feel more dynamic, too.

Cathie Hong Interiors
You can put whatever you want on your dining room table. So, if your shelves are stocked with small, pretty pieces, consider putting them on display. Thanks to their small size, these pieces won’t demand much table real estate, and they can be a great way to add some flair to your space without making it feel cluttered.

Vases make excellent centerpieces—and bold vases make particularly great ones. If you have a statement-making vase you’re looking for an excuse to showcase, put it out. You can put a plant in it, cluster other décor around it, or leave it on its own.
28 of 33
Sarah Fultz Interiors
If your dining room is incredibly statement-making as is, don’t be afraid to leave your table bare. There’s no rule that says you have to have a centerpiece, especially if it doesn’t suit your space.
If your dining room chairs, chandelier, and wall décor are already working together in perfect harmony, perhaps the boldest—and most thoughtful—design decision you could make is to leave your table exactly the way it already is.

If you’re navigating a smaller space like a dining nook, don’t unnecessarily weigh yourself down with décor. Yes, you want your space to be pretty—but you also want it to be functional.
Look for ways to add smaller pops of visual flair—you might be surprised to discover how much of an impact a teeny-tiny vase can make.

Katie Hodges Design
Your tablescape is an obvious place to add color to your space, but if you’re looking for a less obvious choice, use it to add texture to your space, instead.
Display a high-contrast marble bowl, put out a carved clay vase, or showcase a plant that’s incredibly textured. All of these items will make your space feel more dynamic—and they’ll bring out some of the inherent texture in the pieces you already own.

Tablescapes are totally temporary, so take advantage of this flexibility and start experimenting. If you, on a whim, feel tempted to display a bowl of bananas on your dining room table, give it a try.
Worst case scenario: It looks incredibly strange, and you have a handful of bananas to eat.
Best case scenario: It looks fun, and whimsical, and exactly like you wanted it to. Where’s the loss?
32 of 33
Ashley Montgomery Design
Curating a tablescape can get overwhelming. Options are abound, and it can be hard to know which centerpiece is right for your space. Start by simply identifying a few pieces you love, and display them all at once.
If one doesn’t look right, remove it and replace it with another piece you love. Keep the focus on showcasing your favorites, and something is bound to come together.

Mary Patton Design
Your dining room is yours, above all else, so try to have fun with it. If you stumble upon a set of stunning rainbow candlesticks, display them—even if you haven’t bought candles for them yet. If you find a pretty porcelain pot at a garage sale, snag it and put it out there, too.
Your dining room doesn’t have to look like something you’ve seen before. Play around with it, take risks, and simply backtrack when something doesn’t turn out the way you thought it would.
These 23 Stunning Kitchen Tables Are Set for Success
Dinner table decor for every day
Dinner table decor can be not only festive, but also everyday. Yes, a solid table is good on its own, without additional decorations. But the right design is never superfluous. Table decor transforms the dining area, making it cozier and more appetizing. The entire interior as a whole benefits from this.
It doesn't matter where the table is located - in the kitchen or in the living room - it should in any case be decorated with a central composition. As a rule, it is located exactly in the center of the table, setting the point through which the axis passes. On both sides of the axis or around the central point, cutlery is placed when setting the table.
If the table is against the wall, the decorative composition may be off-center.
The most common centerpiece is the flower vase . Yes, not original, but very beautiful.
Flowers make the dining area bright and elegant. And they bring a touch of natural freshness to the interior.
How to arrange a dining table for every day? Flowers!
The choice of vessel for flowers is also important. A traditional vase, transparent or matched to the main color scheme, is appropriate everywhere. But for some styles, other solutions are also suitable. So, to decorate the interior in country style, flowers can be placed not in a vase, but in a jug, in a bucket or even in a ceramic teapot.
It is not always possible to decorate a house with flowers. Instead, branches can be used - for example, willow or fir.
If the table is large and the vase is small, put it on a tray or on a napkin. This will make the composition more expressive.
Flowers are the most popular, but far from the only decor option. Consider several other ways to design a dining table.
1. Vase, dish or basket of fruit. With them, the dining area looks no less elegant than with flowers. But fruits certainly make it more appetizing.
Fruit decoration of the dining table for every day
By the way, fruits can be selected by color in accordance with the interior. So, if the kitchen has orange accents, a vase of constantly refreshed oranges will not only liven up the dining table, but also support the color scheme.
Vegetables can also be used instead of fruit. This is especially true in autumn, during the harvest season.
2. Candles. They are good both on their own and in candlesticks. Candles create a romantic mood and make the dining area warm and soulful.
3. An empty vase or dish. Of course, this item should be not only aesthetic, but also very effective.
4.
Transparent container with filling. The advantage of this decorative solution is that its color, theme and mood can be easily varied. It is enough just to change the filling. These can be dragees, berries, marmalade, beads, coffee beans, cereals and legumes, flower petals, decorative balls and much more.
5. Carafe or jug with glasses. This is a classic that will be especially appropriate in interiors decorated in a traditional, vintage or rustic style.
6. Teapot or coffee pot made of ceramics, steel, cupronickel, etc. Everyone loves tea or coffee. Everything connected with them adds attractiveness and comfort to the dining area.
7. Living plant. This is a versatile decor for any interior.
Central composition: one or more objects?
It is desirable that the central object be proportional to the size of the tabletop.
If the table is large, a single piece of decor will look unattractive and unconvincing. In such a situation, it is better to group several decorative elements.
Casual kitchen table decor
You can combine both the same and different items. Their location is also variable: the details of the composition can be concentrated in the center of the table or distributed along its middle line.
If meals are often eaten at the dinner table, it is more practical to leave one or two items. This makes it easier to keep clean.
Dining table decor with textiles
Nowadays it is not customary to use a tablecloth for every day. It is considered a festive element. However, for some styles, the tablecloth is relevant even in everyday design. This applies, first of all, to such areas as country and Provence.

Table paths are much more common.
With their help, you can enter the desired color, pattern, texture into the dining area. In addition, the track protects the countertop from scratches and other defects.
For the same purposes, placemats (or so-called underplates) are also used. They do not completely hide the countertop, but at the same time protect it as much as possible. Napkins can be placed on the table just before eating or used as a permanent decoration. In this case, they should not be too large.

The decoration of the dining table is done both for certain celebrations and for every day.
Of course, an impressive table is beautiful even without auxiliary decor. However, a well-chosen design will never become a hindrance. Table decor enlivens the dining area, allowing you to make it more comfortable and enjoyable. Along with this, the kitchen area is also being transformed.
It doesn't matter where the table is located - in the dining area or in the hall - it must certainly be decorated as a central object. Usually, it is installed clearly in the middle of the table, indicating the place that permeates the axis. On both edges of it or in a circle are cutlery when decorating the table.
If the table is placed next to a wall structure, the decor may be shifted from the middle.
The most famous solution for the central composition is flower vase . Of course, this move is not particularly original, but the most aesthetic. Flowers allow you to add brightness and solemnity to the dining area. In addition, they add a piece of natural freshness to the room.
How do you decorate your dining table every day? With flowers!
It is important to take a responsible approach to the selection of containers for flowers. A classic vase, colorless or bought to match the main color palette, always fits in without question. However, other options will fit into individual style directions. So, for kitchen decor in the country direction, it is better to place flowers instead of a vase, in a jug, in a bucket or, for example, in a porcelain teapot.
Sometimes it is not possible to decorate an apartment with flowers. Branches will help to replace them - say, birch or Christmas trees.
Recommendation . If the table is huge and the vase is small, place it on a tray or on a special “socket”. This will create the most organic composition.
Flowers are the most famous, but not the last decorative solution. Next, we will talk about several other methods for decorating a dining table.
- Vase, plate or basket filled with fruits and vegetables. With them, the kitchen area looks no less festive than with flowers. However, the fruits, of course, make it the most "delicious".
daily fruit dining table decoration
In addition, fruits can be selected according to the shade, taking into account the main color of the room. For example, if the kitchen is decorated with red accents, a vase of periodically refreshed apples will not only make the dining table more interesting, but will also be in harmony with the color plan.
By the way, fruits can be replaced with vegetables. This is especially convenient in the autumn season, when everything is “in time”.
- Candles. They are beautiful both individually and in candelabra. Candles reproduce a romantic atmosphere and set coziness and comfort in the dining area.
- Empty vase or plate.
Naturally, such an element must be not only beautiful, but also very elegant.
- Transparent bottle with filling. The advantage of such a design move lies in the fact that its shade, theme and state are very easy to change. Pretty easy to change the filling. The role of the filler can be played by confectionery, berries, jewelry, coffee beans, seeds, nuts, rose petals, artificial peas, etc.
- Decanter or jug with mugs. This is a traditional option that will be a great addition to rooms decorated in a classic, vintage or retro style.
- Porcelain teapot or tea pot. Everyone loves such drinks. Everything that somehow reminds of them brings originality and sincerity to the dining area.
- Natural plant. This decoration is suitable for all interiors.
One or more elements for the centerpiece of a dining table?
Preferably, the main object should be in harmony with the dimensions of the tabletop.
If the table is huge, a lonely design element will look unattractive and ugly. In this version, it is much better to combine a number of decorative items.
You can combine both uniform and dissimilar elements. Their location can also change: composite objects can be located in the middle of the table or spread out parallel to its center line.
If breakfast is served daily at the dining table, it is more functional to leave a couple of cutlery items. This will make it more practical to put things in order.
Dining table decor textile
In the modern world, a tablecloth is not usually used daily. It is more about solemn details. Although, for certain style directions, the tablecloth is harmonious even when decorated for every day. This primarily applies to styles, - Provence and country.
The most popular dining paths in this regard.
