These Fresh and Festive Table Setting Ideas Will Upgrade Your Christmas Lunch
From a Mediterranean-inspired spread to a minimalist tablescape, here's how to dress your table for a holiday feast.
One of the most enjoyable parts of Christmas, if not the most enjoyable, is gathering friends and family around for a delicious lunch or dinner feast. And perhaps the best way to make this occasion even more special is by creating a beautiful tablescape to elevate your food and set the festive mood.
Your Christmas table is one of the most important aspects of the day/evening (we'd argue the gifts are a close second) because it's where you and your family/friends will spend most of the event. A beautifully designed spread won't only elevate the dishes you serve, it will change the overall atmosphere.
But hosting can be an overwhelming task, especially for first-timers, and it requires plenty of forethought. From colour scheme to serveware, there are plenty of things you will need to consider, but the most important thing is that you have fun with it.
Wherever you're celebrating this year and whether you're partial to a more traditional Christmas aesthetic, or you prefer to keep things dialled down, these tablescape ideas are sure to inspire your festive setting.
1. Fresh and inviting
A true feast for the eyes this charming spread is fresh and inviting. It embraces understated yet chic holiday flair with simple floral arrangements, linen tableware, and a dialled-down colour scheme of Olive and Oatmeal. The look has been elevated with a selection of our ceramic dinner plates which make the aesthetic just that extra bit bright. This spread has all the ingredients for a merry gathering.
2. Summery and floral
While there's definitely something warm and inviting about a traditional red and green colour scheme for Christmas, switching up hues can really take your table setting up a notch, as seen with the tablescape below. Opting for pink tones still leans into the Christmas spirit while also keeping things feeling young and fresh. The yellow trimming on the scalloped napkins and Terracotta tablecloth play into the warm Christmas aesthetic as well, while the delicate flower arrangements add a fresh touch.

In order to create this nature-inspired spread, opt for neutral-toned plateware, clear vases, plenty of foliage, green linen, and gift boxes. The result will be the ultimate sophisticated yet understated tablescape.
