100 ideas on how to decorate a festive table, for a birthday, decorate a festive table with your own hands 2019 decorate beautifully
There is a strong opinion that decor is a costly business. Actually this is not true. Armed with imagination and good taste, even ordinary things can be turned into original jewelry. How? See our selection!
Fruits
Yes, the most ordinary fruits can transform your table beyond recognition.
Just do not need to imagine them folded in an even slide in a vase - act outside the box. For these purposes, apples, pears, pomegranates, citrus fruits are perfect. Everything that does not lose its appearance for a long time. Place them in the center of the table, using greens as a substrate - this option can be called the easiest. And after dinner, the fruit can be used for its intended purpose. nine0007
If beauty is more important than rationality for you, feel free to cut fruits (especially citrus fruits) in half or into slices. An amazing smell is added to the interesting decor.
In general, there are a lot of options on how to use fruits. For example, you can put a small tree (lime, orange or lemon) in the center of the table, and arrange its fruits on plates. Or add fruit to a transparent vase containing a bouquet. Just make sure that none of the guests accidentally encroach on this "lemonade". nine0007
Ice cream cones
No, you didn't.
This year, the "tasty" trend has gained a strong position. In decoration, horns are usually used instead of wrapping paper in mini-bouquets. Looks funny and very cute. Try it - your guests will be delighted.
Balloons
What holiday is complete without balloons? Now the decorators have gone further and offer to decorate with them not only the rooms, but also the table itself. They can be centered or attached to each guest's plate. But this decor option should be considered as temporary, because then it will have to be removed: after all, peeking out from behind the balls, trying to catch the eye of a neighbor on the table, is not very convenient. nine0007
Therefore, a convenient alternative was devised. Instead of a large number of balls, only one is used, but in a beautiful composition. Usually the balloon is tied to a basket of flowers or sweets. By the way, this prompted florists to a new idea: often this combination is made in the form of a balloon.
Paper boats
Another very budget-friendly way to decorate your holiday table. Boats can be made from plain paper, as well as from colored or craft paper. It all depends on the theme of your holiday. For example, at a children's birthday party, kids can be invited to apply patterns on a completely white frigate themselves. nine0007
Branches
And again, an ornament that you can get absolutely free. Branches are perfect for dinner in a slightly mystical atmosphere. The main thing is to add more candles. If you think that this decor looks too gloomy, you can paint the branches with bright or pearlescent paint, or decorate them with flowers and leaves.
Leaves
Speaking of leaves. Dried, they can also be an excellent table decoration. We do not recommend using green leaves torn from twigs, as they quickly lose their external freshness. But from the dried "brothers" will decorate any autumn party, and it is not at all necessary to make bouquets of them.
nine0007
Feathers
This year's hit is feathers. Moreover, the more colorful and bright they are, the better. Just remember to take care of safety, especially if you plan to arrange them on plates. Well disinfect them first.
Greenery
The undisputed leader in the frequency of use in table decor in the 2018-2019 season. Moreover, it is appreciated by decorators in any form: both in the form of separate branches and in the form of lush garlands. Eucalyptus, ivy, needles and succulents have gained particular popularity. nine0007
As for the ways to use greens, there are a lot of them. For example, twigs can be casually scattered on the table, arranged in beautiful wreaths, decorated with greenery for serving cutlery or napkins, and tiny bouquets with nameplates attached to them can be placed in front of each of the guests. By the way, the fashion for the tropics is still preserved, so take a closer look at the plants that you strongly associate with the jungle.
modest flowers
Stylish décor doesn't have to be reminiscent of decorations on royal tables. Sometimes the smallest detail can make the biggest impression. This technique is often used by decorators, especially since it is many times cheaper than all the others.
One flower or a modest bouquet is most often used to decorate cutlery, or they can be placed on a plate as a small compliment before dinner. Stock up on ribbons - they will give the composition completeness. nine0007
Bouquets
Of course, speaking of decor, we couldn't help mentioning bouquets. No doubt they always look spectacular. Unless you need to follow simple rules. It is not customary to put flowers in cellophane on the table, in addition, it is better for them to choose a transparent plain vase so that it does not block the view and does not distract attention from the bouquet itself.
Recently, decorators prefer simpler compositions.
It can even be flowers without any decorations - they are beautiful in their natural naturalness. As well as bouquets of wild flowers. Their main drawback is the short flowering period. It is also considered fashionable to make more than one large bouquet, but to combine several small ones in different vessels. nine0007
Bottles and cans
If you start preparing for the holiday in advance, pay attention to what you throw in the trash. Suddenly, some things will look much better on your holiday table. These include, for example, tin cans. Why not a stylish vase?
The same applies to glass bottles, especially if they are of a non-standard shape or color. In this case, you can not even put anything in them, they will be perceived as an element of stylish decor. But it is necessary that such decoration is combined with the general theme of the holiday. Perfect for rustic style. nine0007
Don't throw away extra cans. Take them to your grandmother for seaming or use as a decoration.
They make excellent vases and candle holders, especially if you complement them with twine or ribbons.
Glasses and glasses
Yes, they can also be used not only for their intended purpose and even not only in the way we are used to. It is enough to just ... turn them over. And inside you can hide a flower in a small pot. The guests will be delighted. nine0007
Of course, the glasses can also be used as vases. If you fill them completely with flowers, you will get the feeling that each guest has been given the most unusual dessert in the world.
Tablecloths
At this point, most likely, you will find an unexpected discovery. Leave white starched tablecloths for receptions at the highest level, lightness and even some negligence are in fashion. Firstly, decorators offer only the center of the table to be covered with cloth, secondly, to lower it to the ground, and thirdly, to forget about ironing. We recommend that you study the article on interior doors, the quality rating of manufacturers in 2018.
nine0007
In terms of colours, white and grey, complemented by gold or bronze cutlery and clear glass stemware, are the most popular. This trend dictates a certain philosophy: relax and enjoy what is happening.
Note: it will look stylish if you use several tablecloths at once. Moreover, they can be veiled at least on top of each other, at least crosswise, at least across. If you like classic options, don't worry - they never lose their relevance. The main thing is to supplement them with modern details. nine0007
Difficult serving
An option for those who are ready to get confused and offer a change of cutlery and several side plates. The good news is that it is not necessary that all the dishes are from the same collection. On the contrary, the more non-standard combinations you come up with, the cooler.
It doesn't really take much to make a table look elegant. There can even be one set of cutlery, except that you need two plates of different sizes, a linen napkin (by no means paper!) And a cute element that will tie the whole composition together.
nine0007
Details
In this subsection, we have collected those details that will make even a simple table setting unforgettable and create the atmosphere you need. The first element is candles, they are able to save even the dullest atmosphere. The second is nameplates. This is just a rule of good manners and a sign of respect for the guests.
The third detail is the decor located in the center of the table. It will help make all the decorations more visible. The fourth (important) detail is good napkins, but we mentioned this above. nine0007
And, finally, the fifth point is an element that evokes a strong association with the hosts of the evening. It can be a detail of your favorite color, a plate signed by you personally, or your favorite plant. In any case, this will emphasize the mood with which you were preparing for the holiday.
DIY old table decor
DIY 09/23/2020 Elena Sidikhina

com Any, even the most durable and expensive furniture, eventually wears out and loses its aesthetic appeal. Quite often, such a thing is a pity to throw away, especially if warm memories are associated with it. We invite you to look at 14 easy, but very beautiful ideas - how to decorate an old table with your own hands to breathe new life into it! nine0007
1. Decoupage
The simplest, but the best idea is the decoupage technique. To do this, you need to purchase napkins with drawings that will match the interior design. Multi-layer wipes need to be separated so that the material is as thin as possible.
The surface of the table, if it is wooden, must be properly cleaned, sanded and made absolutely smooth. If the table is metal, it should be washed and degreased. Next - cover the surface with acrylic paint. nine0007
The drawing is applied quite simply: we grease the countertop with PVA glue, apply a napkin and smooth it out, expelling the formed air bubbles.
After finishing work, the table should dry well, then apply a protective layer of varnish, which will prolong the service life for a long time.
2. Paint and stencils
Using paints, you can completely restore an old table, including legs, which often have scuffs. If you have a good command of the brush, the work will be simplified - it will not be difficult for you to depict the desired pattern or pattern. If there are problems with drawing, use stencils that are not difficult to buy in art stores. nine0007
To begin with, the table must be thoroughly cleaned, painted with background paint and wait until it is completely dry. Now you need to mark where the patterns will be located, you can also apply a light sketch with a pencil. Next - take stencils and apply images to your taste. When the decorated table is dry, open it with a varnish protective layer.
Another original solution for do-it-yourself decor - use ordinary patterned tulle instead of a stencil: cover the tabletop with it, apply paint and then carefully remove it.

3. Craquelure
If you want to give your table the look of an old canvas, you should pay attention to a special cracking varnish - craquelure. It is of two types: one-step and two-step.
One step craquelure is used to give a vintage look to unprinted plain countertops. The varnish is applied in one layer and, when dried, creates a “network” of cracks.
Two-step varnish helps to create a stunning effect of aged painting. Therefore, it should be used for the surface of the table with a pattern or made using the decoupage technique. In this case, two mixtures are used, which are applied one after the other. The desired effect is manifested when they interact. nine0007 Photo: pinterest.com Photo: vsesamodelki.ru
4. Self-adhesive film
Another great solution is to decorate an old table with self-adhesive film. Moreover, the modern market has a huge assortment of it - from simple plain to mirror, luminous and imitating natural textures.
To cut the film correctly, use the centimeter markings on the reverse side of the film. It is important to carefully clean the surface of the table, as the self-adhesive will instantly reflect all the flaws. nine0007
Glue the film slowly, pressing firmly and at the same time smoothing it with a soft towel so that air bubbles do not form.

At the end of the repair in the kitchen or bathroom, there are often excess tiles that can be safely used to decorate the table. In this way, you can beautifully decorate an old dining table in the kitchen or on the outdoor terrace.
Patchwork tiles look great, as well as decorative tile panels, borders with patterns. No less spectacular will be a countertop made of tiles imitating stone or expensive wood. nine0007 Photo: mebel-mart32.ruPhoto: maiolichevietresi.com
6. Decor under glass
To decorate an old table in the following way, you will have to work hard, but the result will fully justify the effort!
If the wood top is thick, cut out a recess inside and fill it with themed decor.
You can, for example, decorate the seabed - laying shells, pebbles, sand, artificial algae or even colorful Christmas decorations for the Christmas holidays. In conclusion, the finished "stuffing" must be covered with transparent glass. nine0007
If the table top is thin, just fill the edges with the bars and paint them the same color as the table, then lay the decor and also cover with a glass sheet.
Photo: pinterest.ruPhoto: pinterest.ru7. Photo collage
Choose the most successful family photos, lay them out on the table and cover the top with transparent glass. Such a photo collage will remind you of pleasant events in your life during a meal or tea.
If you wish, you can change the selection of photos, add new interesting pictures. Pay attention to the glass - its edges must be sanded to avoid cuts. nine0007 Photo: a-r-s.ru Photo: kalbenimkalbimde.blogspot.com
8. Epoxy resin
The main secret of epoxy resin is that it quickly hardens in the open air, creating the effect of an icy or amber surface.
If your old table has deep cracks, fill them with resin - the view will be amazing! You can also add some decorations to the composition, for example, shells or sea pebbles.
Sophisticated creatives sometimes go even further - they introduce luminescent powder into the liquid resin composition. How do you think it works? That's right, an incredible luminous surface! nine0007 Photo: mebel-mart32.ruPhoto: proraboff.rf
9. Upholstered in leather or leatherette
You can breathe a second life into an old coffee table, making it amazingly original at the same time, using ordinary leather or leatherette. Choose material with a large embossing, for example, under a crocodile skin or bright golden, which will certainly attract the eye.
Use a piece of dermantine to completely cover the top surface of the tabletop. The material should be pressed tightly and smoothed, getting rid of air bubbles. The final touch will be the upholstery of the sides of the table with carnations with a wide hat, which will be similar in color to leatherette.

10. Twisted rope
This way of decorating an old countertop is great for a round table. You will need any dense rope made of natural fabric (hemp, jute) and an adhesive gun.
Fix one end of the rope with glue in the center of the tabletop. Then, wetting the rope with glue, move in a circle, winding circles around the center. Each next row should fit snugly against the previous one.

The advantage of this wonderful coloring composition is that it creates a surface on which you can draw with crayons. Such a table decoration can save your wallpaper and other furniture when a little artist wakes up in a child.
Another secret is to apply a thin layer (2-3 mm) of magnetic primer before covering the table with slate paint. Sticky magnets will bring even more joy to your child.

Decorating an old table with mosaics is not only a great way to make a tabletop incredibly beautiful and original with your own hands, but also a rather exciting process that you can involve a child in.
Mosaic elements can be bought at the store or made from scrap materials, such as a broken mirror or tile. Draw a sketch of the picture on the tabletop, pick up the glue and start creating your masterpiece!

A wooden table can also be successfully decorated with wood stain. Using this tinting liquid, you can give the tree a new rich shade. It is noteworthy that after processing the wood texture is perfectly preserved. In addition, the countertop will be protected from moisture and ultraviolet radiation.
Stain should be applied parallel to the fibers. At the final stage, the surface must be opened with several layers of varnish.

A funny table can be made by decorating it with decorative tape in different colors. The striped “thing” will instantly turn into an accent spot against the background of any interior.
The tape can be applied to any surface. The metal countertop needs to be thoroughly cleaned. If there are small areas of rust, try to get rid of them with vinegar or a special tool - moisten the surface and then scrape. It is also advisable to degrease the canvas with an alcohol solution. The wooden countertop needs to be sanded well. nine0007
Tapes of multi-colored adhesive tape can completely cover the surface of the table. But if you avoid excessive variegation, then initially paint the table in white, black or any other color, and then make a drawing with a ribbon of one contrasting color.
