Christmas decorating / Christmas table ideas

Christmas table ideas for your home

Keep the centerpiece low so people can see each other, run it the length of the table, and give every place one small touch.

6 ideas that work

1. Low and long centerpiece

   Greenery and candles down the middle, under about 12 inches tall, so conversation flows.

2. A runner to anchor it

   Linen, plaid or velvet in your colors. It works on a bare table or over a cloth.

3. Candles at different heights

   Mix tapers and pillars. Use flameless near greenery.

4. One touch per place

   A sprig of rosemary, a name card or a small ornament on each napkin.

5. Layer the plates

   Charger, dinner plate, salad plate. Mixing white with one patterned plate looks intentional.

6. Fruit and pinecones

   Pears, pomegranates, clementines and pinecones fill gaps for very little money.
