It’s the festive season and the time for gatherings. Whether you invite your friends or family, whether you host a grand party or a small, cosy one, whether you make wonderful food at home or get some takeaway; what stays in the mind of the people is how you hosted them during the home –dining. And one of the ways to create an impression is to make sure your table-décor is just right. Here are some cues that you can take this festive season to get your table-décor just right.
Come festive season and the number of guests pouring in your house increases manifold. While some come in for a quick visit, some make themselves at home for lunch or dinner parties. If you are hosting guests this festive season, then keep these five table-décor ideas in mind, after which they might definitely drop again to take some valuable aesthetic tips.
Cinematic Centerpiece
Whether it is the dining table or the centre table, even if you keep the decorations to the minimum, make sure you have one statement centerpiece which screams of your aesthetics. You can keep it gold, silver, multi-colour, serene with a pop of colour or as the trend goes made of flowers. Multiple options are available but what you need to keep in mind is that the centerpiece should be a reflection of your personality, an extension of the room décor and one which remains etched in the memories of your guests long after the party is over.
Candlelight charms
One of the most common yet aesthetic table-décor ideas is to place candles. Now candles signify the festive mood and are a reflection of the lights that surround you during this time. You can choose between plain candles or coloured ones, scented or unscented, block candles or candelabra, but definitely one which lights up the mood. Moreover, you can use a statement candle holder or a vintage one that gives added effect to the presence of the candles. Floating tea-light candles also serve the purpose well.
Natural Neutrals
You can go with the flow of the autumn season and use natural, organic and rustic decorations as part of your table-décor ideas. Cinnamon sticks not only look aesthetic but also act as a subtle air freshener. Burlap runners, pinecones, eucalyptus sprig and more give the feeling of the season, offer a natural, rustic look and lets the food shine more than the table itself. In fact, these are great choices for a long-term table-décor blending slowly into winters.
Colour kicks
If you do not want to keep your entire décor in the rustic palette then opt for bursts of colour along the entire table. These can be through the placement of accessories like brightly coloured paper napkins, cutleries that scream colour-pop or even tablecloths which are brightly mono-coloured. You can also place bright flowers in glasses for decoration and that itself can add vibrancy to the look.
Like lighting?
This kind of table-décor works absolutely well if you are hosting the party or at least the food is being served outdoors or on the rooftop. You can actually decorate the edges of the table with tiny fairy lights. If you are hosting a party in the garden and place the tables near a tree, then LED lights, paper lanterns or garlands can be hanged from the tree branches. If it’s a more intimate dinner with just two or three people then you can personalize with photo-frame lights which highlight moments from friendship or achievements.
