Decorating blogs have spawned a new language, with words and phrases like “impactful,” “pop of color,” and “tablescape” becoming so common that we barely notice them anymore. Mostly we feel too old to use blog neologisms here, but we both have holiday gatherings coming up, and we are planning to scape the heck out of our tables. Here are a few of our favorite table decor ideas from around the web:
We love this simple table; white pillar candles, loosely scattered greens, and pretty red apples make for an inviting and un-fussy centerpiece.
Here’s a variation on the theme, but in a tighter arrangement with pomegranates, rounded eucalyptus leaves, and sleek black dish ware. We can tell you already that we’d be asking for seconds.
This arrangement is softer, more old-fashioned, and very inviting. We love the single leaf and sprig placed on each plate, the cascading florals, the rumpled linens, and the silver candlesticks.
This Otomi-clad table is very different, but no less festive. Plus, what’s more fun than fondue?
The mix of black, white, rose and gold in this arrangement is very pretty and sweet. Ground it with a white a table cloth, and it would be magical.
How about getting a jump on 2016 by incorporating rose quartz, the Panton color(s) of the year, into your holiday table? We love it here with the mix of copper, greens, and beautiful cut glass stemware.
Speaking of cut glass stemware, we both love these blush colored beauties, especially here with the pretty grain sack runner and sprigs of rosemary.
Do you have dishes and decor that you use year after year to adorn your holiday table, or do you do something different each year? We love to hear your inspired ideas in the comments!
