Winter is here and with it comes the cheers of festivities, the warmth of bonfires, the beauty of snow-laden trees, and the twinkle of icicles adorning rooftops. Setting a dinner table in this season is all about rich colors, warm glows, and sparkling lights.
Here are a few winter-themed dinner table ideas that you'll love:
would be the perfect accent for a warm winter dinner. The warmth of the dark brown basket amid the light burlap and white paper towels is a delightful accessory for any dining table
- The sweet smell of chocolate.
Why not a chocolate, fruit and nut themed dinner set-up? This "sweet" table is sure to dazzle your guests. The deep color of the brown is a pretty contrast with the white making it an unusually enchanting color for a winter dinner. Moreover, your silverware will have an exceptional sparkle against the brown setting and the acorn-designed centrepieces match the tone of the table perfectly.
Here is a minimalist themed decor which is warm and easily manageable for a farmhouse dinner. The centerpiece is put together with a couple of different winter plants that add a splash of color to the otherwise neutral colors of white, brown, and beige. You can place a warm rug in white or taupe on the floor to add more comfort.
- A little touch of glam and style.
If you have been too busy preparing fabulous meals that you are finding yourself short on time to prepare for an elaborate decoration for the dinner table, why not add glamour to your table and you won't need much more to spruce things up. Make them yourself or buy them online.
- Ho, Ho Ho, it's Holiday magic!
We cannot mention winter table without adding one for the holidays. This beautiful Christmas dinner table set is perfect for the small family. The red tablecloth, white runners, and holly branches give a festive look to the otherwise simple table. Red candles illuminate the table softly and make it perfect for a warm family gathering.
Remember to choose at the most two or three colors for your theme and play around them. Too many colors will make the table seem busy. Combine the colors in the elements on and around your table. After you are done placing the table cloth, runners, and mats, think of what you will place in the center. A centerpiece can make or break the design so choose wisely. For large square or round tables use a wider piece to bring the table together and for smaller tables use a higher design to bring the attention to the middle and make the table appear larger. You can also place a line of similar decorations running through the center if you have a rectangular table. Enhance the look with accents like napkin holders, wine glasses, tree ornament, and the likes. If you are having a Christmas dinner then make sure you add at least one color or element associated with the festival in the decor. And don't forget to have fun!

Designer tip: always arrange something fun and entertaining for the children at the table such as a coloring book, puzzle or cocktail (non-alcoholic) made just for them. A busy child is a quiet one!
