Tips for decorating your Christmas table
It is true that what matters most when it comes to having a good Christmas season is doing it next to your loved ones and feeling their love and companyBut why not do it in a beautiful, elegant way, with a tastefully decorated table? It will be at that table where we have dinner on Christmas Eve, or where we make that meal for Christmas, or perhaps we eat the grapes on it. Whichever day you celebrate Christmas in your home, these tips will help you.
Centerpieces
The centerpieces they always dress a lot when decorating any table and they don't have to be expensive or super glamorous.
Next, we will tell you what materials you need to make a Christmas centerpiece almost 100% recycled, which will give you a warm and Christmas touch to your home:
- 1 medium-sized, thick red candle (to your liking).
- Fallen leaves from the trees.
- Pinecones fallen from the trees
- Gold or silver spray paint.
- Elongated green pine leaves.
- Elongated wooden centerpiece.
In the center of the wooden table that we have, we will place the red candle in the middle. Around this we will place our fallen leaves from trees. You can do two things (to your liking): paint them all in gold, or paint some yes and others no, or finally, and if you prefer this way, leave them unpainted. In our opinion, it is much more beautiful and natural, painting some yes and others no. We will also do the same with pineapples: we can leave them unpainted, we can paint only part of them, or paint them all completely. In our case, we like to paint only the tips. We will also place in this center made by us, the green pine leaves that will be, together with the candle, the ones that will give the contrast of color and liveliness to our centerpiece.
And ready! Centerpiece made with love and very economical.
If you do not want to do it because you do not have time or because you prefer to put a center with more detail, today, in the market you can find ready-made and super beautiful centerpieces. You can choose between countless of them!
The tablecloth
We cannot have a Christmas table without its particular tablecloth. In decoration shops (Ikea, Zaha Home, Tiger, etc) you can find tablecloths of all kinds (simple, somewhat more sophisticated, typical Christmas colors, with glitters, etc.). And if you want something cheaper, you can opt for the typical paper tablecloth, which are already available in all possible colors ...
If the main problem when decorating the table is money, you do not have to spend a lot and you can have a very Christmas and beautiful table. The trick is to choose simplicity on the one hand (for example, a plain paper tablecloth in red), and decoration on the other (with the aforementioned centerpiece, with napkins with printed Christmas motifs or with elegant and appropriate tableware for the occasion).
Gold and silver candles
Candles not only give light and heat to a roomThey also give that Christmas and comfortable touch that we so much want to see in a home for these special dates. As with everything, they come in all colors, shapes and sizes, but today, the most requested for Christmas are those that are silver or gold.
They are elegant, fine and go well in any corner of our living room or room where we celebrate this Christmas lunch or dinner.
A primary advice that we give in everything, whether in decoration, makeup, fashion, etc., is that always, always, less is more. What do we mean by this? That a table does not have to be decorated 100%, you have to leave space for food, do not forget it! Jokes aside, in simplicity and sobriety is elegance ...
¡Happy Holidays and have a great time decorating your home for the cause!
