A beautifully set table is a welcoming sight and sets the tone for the holiday celebrations. Create a gorgeous tablescape to encourage great conversation and let the gentle tinkle of glasses raised in joyful toasts add cheer to your home. Choose tabletop accessories that highlight the delectable food arranged on festive Christmas dinnerware. Choose from traditional color combinations like blue and white, red and gold or red and silver to decorate your holiday table. Consider the amount of direct sunlight you will have in the room you are setting the table in as it will help you select the right combination. The tablecloth can be a beautiful canvas to create your Christmas dinner theme. Spread a crisp white tablecloth and complement it with a runner in a contrasting color of your choice. Design a gorgeous holiday centerpiece by arranging white and silver or white and gold pinecones in a large crystal bowl. Artfully arrange some holly leaves and berries for contrasting color. Make place cards for all the place settings with smaller bowls filled with the same decorations. Hand-print the names of your guests on strips of handmade paper with metallic-hued ink. Draw attention to your Christmas dinnerware with a novel napkin presentation. Roll a red and a white linen napkin together. Place a glass napkin ring around the two napkins. Lay the napkin rolls above each individual place setting. Arrange a red wine glass and a clear crystal water glass at each place setting to create a color-coordinated balance. Place the flatware as needed. Enhance this effect by opting for themed Christmas dinnerware like bright red charger plates and milk glass plates with scalloped edges. Serve Christmas-time treats like holiday roasts in stylish roasting pans that can go from the oven to the tabletop. These oven-to-tabletop roasting pans are available in brilliant colors like red and blue so you can easily match them with your color theme. Using these roasting pans can bring color to your holiday table and make after-dinner cleanup easier. Add accents of holly leaves and berries to your serveware to tie them in with the centerpiece and place cards. A really simple idea to introduce light as a finishing touch to your dining space is to use shiny silver cupcake molds as tealight holders. Scour antique stores and flea markets to find vintage milk bottles to use as vases for holding little posies of white flowers and dried red berries. Create a beautiful holiday table with these simple ideas. Authors Profile: William Socket is a certified interior designer and runs his own interior decoration consultancy.
