An easy way to make your table a little more festive is to make candles your centerpiece. Not only does it set the mood and allow you to lower harsh overhead lights, but it’s SO easy and since you more than likely have candles in your home this table upgrade costs you nothing! Even if you splurge and pick up a few new candles and candlestick holders, they are not only great for holiday decorating, but also great for decorating year round.

Another way to freshen up your table for the Christmas time is by keeping it clean and simple with festive flowers and greenery. Pick up a few colorful bouquets and fresh garland or greenery and create a custom centerpiece that would look great as the focal point of your Holiday table.

!function(d,s,id){var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ? ‘http’ : ‘https’;if(!d.getElementById(id)) {e = d.createElement(s);e.id = id;e.src = p + ‘://’ + ‘widgets.rewardstyle.com’ + ‘/js/shopthepost.js’;d.body.appendChild(e);}if(typeof window.__stp === ‘object’) if(d.readyState === ‘complete’) {window.__stp.init();}}(document, ‘script’, ‘shopthepost-script’);

Dress your table with a festive pattern tablecloth or table runner. Plaid will always be my favorite Holiday pattern and it can instantly make even the simplest of tables holiday ready! If you’re in a pinch this is the best option to get your dining table ready for guests fast! If you don’t have a plaid tablecloth you can also dress your table with a plaid scarf or throw.

!function(d,s,id){var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ? ‘http’ : ‘https’;if(!d.getElementById(id)) {e = d.createElement(s);e.id = id;e.src = p + ‘://’ + ‘widgets.rewardstyle.com’ + ‘/js/shopthepost.js’;d.body.appendChild(e);}if(typeof window.__stp === ‘object’) if(d.readyState === ‘complete’) {window.__stp.init();}}(document, ‘script’, ‘shopthepost-script’);

!function(d,s,id){var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ? ‘http’ : ‘https’;if(!d.getElementById(id)) {e = d.createElement(s);e.id = id;e.src = p + ‘://’ + ‘widgets.rewardstyle.com’ + ‘/js/shopthepost.js’;d.body.appendChild(e);}if(typeof window.__stp === ‘object’) if(d.readyState === ‘complete’) {window.__stp.init();}}(document, ‘script’, ‘shopthepost-script’);
