Let’s be honest — we’d all love for our holiday dinner tables to look like a winter wonderland, but sometimes it just isn’t realistic. Decorating your table with a limited amount of time and budget requires a clever mix of everyday essentials and select holiday flair.
We love these holiday table settings for their mix of pretty red + white basics that can be used year round, with a few chargers, napkin rings, appetizer plates and napkins mixed in for holiday cheer. Are you on the hunt for easy holiday table decorating tips? Read on to get our top four tips, below:
1. Accent white dinnerware with festive chargers. You don’t need to buy a full set of dinnerware to make your holiday dinner party feel special. We love using glimpses of metallic — like these gold leaf chargers — to add just a little sparkle and shine. Bonus: These can be used year round!
2. Mix and match textiles you can use every holiday. Red or neutral table linens (especially when paired with a fun napkin ring) will add the perfect pop to your existing table setting.
3. Invest in a set of colorful dinner plates. We love using color year round! Whether you decide to go with red, blue, green or more — investing in a set of brightly colored plates means you only need a few accessories for the holidays.
4. Use appetizer plates as accents. Dress up your table with festive appetizer/salad plates for the season — they’re a little more affordable than a full dinner set, and easy to match with any of your dinnerware!
