Decorating your dining table: Beautiful ideas for every style

Besides the right dining table and comfortable seating, attractive and stylish table decorations are also essential. We’ll show you ideas for beautifying and showcasing your dining table.

Decorating a dining table: the basics

When it comes to decorating a dining table, the possibilities are endless. However, there are a few things to keep in mind to create a harmonious overall look. A tablecloth isn’t for everyone, but it provides a solid and stylish base upon which to build. A linen tablecloth can look both elegant and rustic, and when combined with pretty (handmade) ceramics and linen or cotton napkins, it’s anything but ordinary.

What works for decorating dressers or shelves also applies to the dining table: create visual depth with vases, candlesticks, and carafes, and mix materials like glass and ceramic for a lighter, more stylish effect.

5 tips and ideas for successful table decoration:

1. Choose a table decoration that matches the rest of the decor in color and style, but still take the opportunity to use new materials and colors as eye-catchers.

2. Use a variety of materials such as linen, ceramic, and glass when decorating your dining table. This will make the table setting look more relaxed.

3. It’s best to place large vases with tall plants at the end of the table. This way, they won’t obstruct the view, and the dining area will appear longer.

4. Using pretty and colorful dishes usually eliminates the need for elaborate additional decorations. This is especially practical for small tables.

5. For special occasions such as birthdays or weddings, lavish bouquets are a good option, provided that food is not also to be placed on the dining table.
