The party table goes into natural rustic mode
For these 2024 holidays, the rustic chic spirit will work wonders at the table. This festive table puts the traditional Christmas colors in the cupboard in favor of natural, raw and warm materials. Wooden candle holder, paper decoration, stoneware plates, fir branches slipped into a napkin ring, linen tablecloth, the slightest element is able to reinforce this authentic and friendly atmosphere, ideal for the holidays.
Napkin rings are back in service
The Christmas table is dressed in its 31st, keeping an eye on the smallest details of its staging. The napkin ring is thus back in service on the festive table. Home-made style with a simple string and a fir branch or a golden flashy version, the napkin ring supplants the coveted napkin fold this year. It's up to you to choose your favorite presentation for Christmas 2024!
Guests' table gifts make the décor
For a finely composed festive table, multiply the attentions by accompanying each plate with a small decorative gift for a guest. A mini candle, a small golden tree, an elegantly wrapped book will look great as a small table gift.
Natural pendant light continues to boost the look of the Christmas table
Sometimes natural, poetic or magical, the Christmas decoration to hang from the ceiling above the Christmas table compiles many arguments to make guests dream on D-Day. A beautiful wooden branch recovered from the middle of nature floating above the table and pimped with a pretty garland of lights or a few eucalyptus leaves, a Christmas wreath in a Scandinavian spirit hanging from the ceiling or a large decorative star enthroned in the air, there are many options to make your Christmas table take its Christmas table to the next level!
The traditional green and red Christmas table is still relevant
If every year the decoration trends surge over the end of year celebrations, the followers of traditions are not left behind... The traditional red and green duo continues to be used with dexterity on the table side. In 2024, decoration brands are playing the traditional Christmas by revisiting these emblematic colors of the end of year celebrations under very winter patterns. Holly, fir trees, tiles are available from plates to table linen.
Candle holders enhance the style of the Christmas table
Tealights and other candle holders are relegated to the china cabinet again this year. In 2024, the Christmas table confirms more than ever the renewed interest in candle holders. Wooden, lacquered or golden, graphic or minimalist versions, candle holders come in all shapes and sizes to enhance all styles of Christmas table.
The Christmas buffet regains its letters of nobility
In recent years, brands dedicated to the world of tableware have brought the buffet of yesteryear up to date. A sideboard sublimated by powerful decorative pieces: ceramic candle holders, majestic servant, embroidered tablecloth... Gargantuan buffets as much in their shape as their menu that we will enjoy trying for this Christmas 2024, just to surprise your guests and make a lasting impression.
Paper Christmas decorations come to the table
It's one of the big decorating trends of this Christmas 2024: paper festive decorations are taking over every corner of the house. The table does not escape their natural and almost childlike charm. They are particularly noticeable in the form of small paper trees to be placed as a centerpiece or next to the flock of glasses. It's up to you to judge and balance the scenery!
The festive table combines materials
Like the everyday table, the festive table has fun assembling materials to create a cleverly orchestrated staging. Wooden candle holder, stoneware bowls and plates, cotton tablecloth, brass cutlery, the table is doubling down on its inventiveness to mix the pieces of crockery and decoration finely chosen for the big day.
The Christmas table goes natural
More than ever, the Christmas table reconnects with its history and is adorned with multiple details from nature. Moss, eucalyptus and fir branches punctuate the decoration of the centerpiece. Touches of wood complete this green atmosphere and add a sense of warmth with round wooden placemats for a balanced and natural Christmas décor.
The Christmas table revisits the vintage style
Another avenue to consider for a cheap and successful Christmas table: vintage accessories! To be found in flea markets or online, to be found in grandmother's cupboards: plates with small country flowers or more graphic motifs, crystal glassware, tablecloths embroidered with the family's initials and finely maintained silverware... These pieces will create a décor that is as original as it is moving for exceptional celebrations.
Colourful accessories for a festive Christmas table
For an ultra-merry Christmas, what could be better than multiplying the colors throughout your table? First of all, we bet on a white tablecloth or embroidered with a few elements to make the colorful accessories stand out. A chic pink and red glassware will energize the table and set the tone for the festivities, other elements will be added in this spirit, plates with touches of paint, glass Christmas baubles, maxi vases in the centerpiece where to accommodate a bouquet of holly to stay in the theme... and in the color palette!
The Christmas table is more personal than ever
In line with the major decoration trends of the year, the Christmas table is becoming more and more personal. If fashion phenomena always influence her staging, we notice that like the interiors she does not escape the desire to be highly personal by mixing antique pieces, new accessories, details from nature and original decorative objects. A radical festive table because it is unique, what a joy to contemplate and decipher!
The traditional white Christmas table imposes its timeless character
If each Christmas imposes its string of trends, the white festive table once again imposes its timeless character. From the tablecloth to the crockery, including lovely immaculate furs for the seats, the entire table plays the white card to summon the imagination specific to the land of Santa Claus. Refreshing and cosy at the same time!
The centerpiece takes to the skies
Even the smallest dining tables have to work hard to find a worthy centerpiece. To clarify this key space of the table and give it more rhythm and volume, we like the idea of using one or two beautiful servants to present not small delicacies but beautiful candle holders or clusters of Christmas baubles.
Embroidery on the festive table
In recent months, embroidery has regained its stripe in interiors. Long catalogued as a 'granny activity', embroidery is in line with the desires of the moment, with the desire to surround oneself with handmade, neat, whimsical and singular objects. After having declined its charms on the textiles of the house, from the sofa to the cushion, this art invites itself to the table from every angle. Colorful embroidered tablecloth, napkin embroidered with family initials or revisited napkin ring, embroidery promises to create a surprise at the table!
Place cards are perfect for enhancing the table
Decorating is good, knowing how to entertain is even better. In the list of accessories that combine the two, place cards are essential. Placed on or near the plate, the place card adds a touch of elegance to a table that takes care of its guests.
The raw wooden table becomes a decorative argument for the Christmas table
Tradition would have it that skipping the Christmas tablecloth for D-Day is akin to sacrilege. For an uninhibited Christmas, in 2023, we dare to do without! This year, the beautiful raw wood dining table capable of enhancing the style of a festive table with natural accents. Placemats are well and truly capable of taking over to sublimate the table, there should be no doubt about it!
Floral arrangement plays centerpieces for Christmas
Want to change the style of your centerpiece for Christmas 2024? Tired of the traditional candles, baubles and fairy lights to accumulate, the centerpiece emancipates itself and metamorphoses into a demanding and magical floral composition, ideal for surprising guests and creating a singular décor.
A chic trolley to complete the décor
To perfect your festive table area, why not complete the décor with a chic or vintage trolley? This side table will have the function of freeing up space on the festive table, on these two levels we will place some dishes, drinks and other elements so that the centerpiece is more generous... and therefore festive!
