At Christmas, the idea is to put the small dishes in the big ones. Don't hesitate to take your most beautiful crockery out of your cupboards, and put on the table all the accessories you never use:the under-plates, the sauce boat, the silver cutlery, the crystal glasses... Nothing is wrong. is too beautiful on a Christmas table. Do not hesitate to call on the members of your family or your friends, they can bring you some additional pieces of crockery. Also consider diverting certain objects:mini-baskets to present individual rolls, branches as cutlery rests... The more your table is filled, the more festive it will be!
Are you worried that your Christmas table decorations will be all over the place and there will be no harmony? To avoid the clutter effect, choose a basic color that you can use on all the elements of your table:red for a traditional and warm Christmas, black and white for a design Christmas, gold or silver for a bling-bling Christmas… From the tablecloth to the napkins, including the place cards or the chair cushions, use the color chosen for all the decorations on your table.
Want to bring a touch of originality to your Christmas table? There are plenty of ways to revamp your classics! For example, you can make your own Christmas decorations with candies:candy canes as napkin decorations, small chocolates wrapped in gold paper scattered on the tablecloth... Another cool idea:use elements from nature, like pine cones or fir branches to decorate the table.
