Standing at Christmasenjoy your mealand a cozy get-together at the center. Ultimately, it's about being grateful for the people around us and for the moments we experience together. But a beautifully set table and atmospheric lighting add to the experience. Every housewife wants to impress her guests with the festive table and that starts with a beautiful table decoration. For festive occasions such as Christmas Eve, Christmas or New Year's Eve, a table decoration in gold is perfect. Today we are giving you some creative ideas on how you can use festive accessories to turn the classic color into an individual design element and create an elegant ambience.
Tipp 1:The combination with another color is crucial. No matter whether you choose the classic combination of red and gold or a puristic, modern ambience in gold and white, choose a color theme that allows you to fully express yourself! A table decoration in gold and black is wonderful for the New Year's Eve party!
Tipp 2:Plan ahead and think about everything you need - think shiny ornaments, a festive tablecloth, modern vases and other eye-catching decorations.
Tipp 3:The tablecloth is the basis for the table decoration. As a rule, a classic tablecloth made of white linen is enough to let the rest of the place setting and gold-colored decorations come to the fore. But if you are looking for something special this year, you should choose a table runner with a subtle pattern.
Tipp 4:Choose an eye-catcher for the center of the table.A beautiful Christmas arrangementis the easiest way to get your party going. It's also a great opportunity to show your creative side to friends and family. You can create an impressive impact with your centerpiece by following these two simple steps:
- First, decide where you want your guests to focus their eyes. A huge flower arrangement can be a real eye-catcher and even Instagrammable. However, make sure it isn't too big, otherwise it might be difficult for your guests to communicate with each other. For a more modern and elegant look, consider putting together a group of candles.
- Create contrast with a mix of evergreen branches and choose a maximum of three unique color and texture variations to create layered accents.
Tipp 5:Your placemats and coasters should provide some contrast to the tablecloth. If you have a lot of guests who need to fit around the table, choose smaller place settings.
Tipp 6:When it comes to tableware for Christmas, most people play it safe with crystal glasses and porcelain plates. However, if you want to use solid white plates, invest in a gold cutlery set. This will give the whole thing a touch of luxury.
Tipp 7:Decorate the plates too. You can for exampleFold napkins for ChristmasorMake napkin rings in gold. Small gifts on the plates also look particularly nice.
