Christmas decorations and especially decorating the Christmas table turn an ordinary dining table into a Christmas miracle Every detail has the potential to create an atmosphere of warmth, love and joy. How to set the festive table to make it festive, light and elegant?

1. The dining table as an ornament

At the beginning of the decoration stands an empty table, which can be round like table XX or square or oval, smaller or larger. The key is to think about how many people you're setting the table for, how much space you need for plates and cutlery and how much is left for decorations. It's a shame to cover wooden tables with a tablecloth. Let their natural beauty shine through and use smaller place settings.Know that the decorations can be not only the table itself, but also the dishes and tableware served.

2. Choose a colour scheme

The advantage of solid wood tables is their versatility. Wood is a natural material that can be combined with any colour palette. You can complement natural decorations dominated by earthier colours with bolder colour accents. The overall impression remains balanced and tasteful.

3. Natural decoration 

Natural decorations are the ideal choice for the Christmas table. They are not only beautiful, but also sustainable and fragrant. By using natural materials, we save the environment and at the same time contribute to creating a pleasant and cosy atmosphere.

As natural decorations you can use:

• Christmas greenery - branches of conifers such as pine, spruce or fir, but also other types of greenery such as eucalyptus, birch, beech or moss. 
• Dried fruits such as pine cones, acorns, boxwood or apples will add a rustic touch to your table.
• Beeswax candles

Cut flowers or Christmas roses can also be placed on the Christmas table. These little details will help create a truly charming result.

Here are some specific tips on how to create natural Christmas decorations that are also sustainable:

• Use self-made ornaments instead of store-bought ones. For example, you can make a Christmas wreath from conifer branches or a wreath from dried berries. This allows you to be creative and create unique decorations that reflect your personality. 
• Keep the number of decorations to a minimum. Too many decorations can look cluttered and uninviting. Instead, focus on a few high quality decorations that will be distinctive
• Place decorations so they don't take up too much space. Small decorations are lighter and less maintenance intensive. You can place them on the , in vases or on candle holders.
