20 Christmas Centerpieces: Ideas for your Dining Room

[ad#co-1]

1. Wreath Christmas centerpieces:

Place a wreath on your table instead of hanging on the door. Lay it down in the center of the table, and set a few colored tapered candles or one large pillar candle in the center. You can fill the bare spots if any between the wreath and the candles with some red apples, golden pears or fresh cranberries. Visit our wreath site – How To Make a Burlap Wreath to see our holiday wreath inspiration! 

2. Use Christmas Candy for Christmas Centerpieces

You can never go wrong with jars of Christmas candies. They make a tasty and visually appealing centerpiece. Fill jars of various shapes and sizes with different types of colorful Christmas candies. Tie matching bows on the jars for extra detail. Provide your guests with small cellophane bags so that they can fill candy at the end of the bash for a sweet party favor.

3. Poinsettia Holiday Centerpieces

Poinsettias are the most popular flowers during the holidays. They come in various colors and sizes. Place a pot of colorful poinsettias on your party table for a beautiful festive centerpiece. While red and white are the most common, marble poinsettias can also be used.

4. Christmas Gifts Make a Pretty Holiday Centerpiece

Wrapped gifts instantly adorn the center of the table without being heavy on the pocket. Wrap empty boxes of various sizes in Christmas wrapping paper to be used as a centerpiece. Add colorful ribbons around the gift boxes and stack them into a neat arrangement in the center of the table. To double the centerpiece as favors fill the gift boxes with Christmas candies or ornaments.

5. Colorful Christmas Organic Bowl

Fill a glass bowl with a variety of fruits for a modern winter centerpiece. In a tall, clear glass vase put alternating layers of seasonal fruits such as crab apples, pears, fresh cranberries, and more. Make sure to put some cold water to keep the fruits from going brown. If you are throwing a winter party, add some gold glass beads into the same centerpiece to add in some sparkle factor.

Christmas Decorations: Creative Ideas for your Interiors

• Hang a homemade DIY citrus fruits wreath

This is really a superb idea. It doesn’t just enhance your front door but also provide the fruity citrus fragrance for your guests. You also have the natural, bright orange and green colors of citrus. This idea will give you a decorative item, natural air freshener and holiday color in one single DIY project.

• Use antique ornaments for decoration

If you think your dining and coffee table look dull, a table centerpiece should make it attractive. All you need to have are your antique ball ornaments, leaves and a cake stand platter. But you can always use any ball ornaments you have in your drawers. This is so simple. Lay down the leaves on your cake stand platter and then pile your antique ornament balls in random on the cake stand platter. That’s it!

• Add greenery in your interior

One of the easiest ways to decorate is by adding greenery in your home. This can be done by placing lush greenery drapes in your door and window frames. If you have some extras, you can also have your window sills decorated with greeneries. This will definitely bring a holiday ambiance in your home interior.

As Christmas grows near everyone becomes excited about decorating their homes. Holiday decorating gives a home the perfect Christmas mood. If you want to decorate your home for the holidays without using a lot of money, there are many ways to do so. Here are some quick tips.

 Christmas Decorations: Budget-Friendly Tips for your Home

Reuse Christmas Decorations

Avoid buying new Christmas decorations every year and use the ones you already have. Items that can be reused include stockings, garlands, twinkling lights, and Christmas trees. Ensure they are in good condition before you use them again. Christmas lights are fairly inexpensive and make a big impact. Arrange them on a mantel or a chandelier or use them to add sparkle to your bathroom or bedroom. They can be hazardous when defective so make sure they are working properly before using them.

Shop in Your Backyard

The things that make Christmas extra special are those that are least expensive. Ignore the holiday advertisements that make you feel like you should be spending a million bucks and shop in your yard for simple items like a pile of pine cones. Spray-paint them with a coat of warm gold for added effect. Give your home a holiday smell and a fresh, natural look with boughs of evergreen.

If you have a few candles left over from previous holidays, use a glue gun to turn them into Christmas candles. Place them in empty glass jars from juice or sandwich spreads. You can adorn the jars with holiday-colored water and float tea lights in them or stuff them with metallic steamers or assorted- colored foils. These candles look great in the dining room or living room.

Be a Smart Holiday Shopper

If you must buy holiday decorations, buy those that can be used for the next 3 to 5 Christmases such as mantels, curtains, table runners, and throw pillow covers. Buy them in advance and not during the festive season as they become more expensive than normal.

The above tips will help you to get the best look for less. They are simple, easy to follow, and will transform your home into a haven.

‘International Holiday Celebrations’ – Nora Noorsirrat

The holiday season is here and it is the time when family and friends travel home for the holidays to be with their loved ones. However, if you are not going home for the holidays due to work why not host an international holiday celebration instead with your international friends and colleagues at your home or the office.

International Holiday Celebrations

Decoration Ideas

Hosting an international holiday celebration is fun but a lot of attention has to be given towards your guests’ culture and religious background. Choose neutral and non-religious items like flags from each country or colors to symbolize the country. Use symbolic colors like blue and red for USA, green for Ireland and red for China. Use flowers and plants that you can identify their country of origin for example, bamboo and orchids are from Asia while grapes and tulips are from Europe.

[ad#co-1]

Go Casual

Traditionally, friends and family gather and chat around dining table. Why not create a different atmosphere by going for a casual dining style by using low coffee table and sofa chairs to create a casual lounge atmosphere. Your guests will be comfortable to move around and mingle.

Create cozy corners

Create a décor that your guests can identify with their country.  If your guests are from Italy, Greece and UK, create a European style atmosphere with Italian chairs, a union jack bench, greek sculpture or winding grape vines. If they are from Japan, Korea or China, hang red drapes for drama, hang lanterns, provide seats using rattan chairs and create side table with oriental chest. Comfort is always when you feel at home.

Creative gift wrap

Everybody loves gifts and a celebration would not be the same without exchanging gifts. Make it fun with creative gift wrapping or try something new with the art of Japanese ‘tsutsumi’ style that uses cloth and paper. Your guests will not only appreciate the gift but they will learn more about the country and its culture.

Serve international food

Food is where the heart is no matter where you are. Serve international food like sushi or timsum from Asia or Mediterranean couscous for a change. Prepare recipe cards and give out to your friends for them to try back home. The next time there is another gathering, your friends will be able to prepare the various international food! The more we eat together, the more we appreciate and love others – and the world will be a better place to live! Cheers!

About Nora

I was a professional in the education industry for the last 15 years and recently decided to follow my passion in interior design and décor. I started my own collection of decorative cushions and linens using ethnic fabrics and I enjoy designing boards at Olioboard. Most of my inspiration comes from my Asian heritage, the environment of the tropical forest and the materials it produces like teak, bamboo and jute.

The fireplace is a main focal point within a home.  So why try to do the ordinary with it during the holidays?  Think about it.  The fireplace is where we roast marsh mallows, hang our stockings, lay the garland and add warmth to the home during the season.  During this holiday season, let’s try some new ways to make the fireplace in your home stand out for all to adore.

How to Decorate your Holiday Mantle

A Well-lit Top

Give your fireplace some light on the top to go along with the light on the bottom.  Stack some decorative candles on the mantle of your fireplace.  Soft cream, pale yellow, hunter green and red candles are great for bringing in the holiday spirit.  For a more interesting and elegant affect put the candles in glass cylinders then set some holiday flowers such as garland or poinsettias next to the glasses.  Your family and guest will love how warm and inviting your fireplace will look!

Decorate your unused fireplace

Ever thought if you don’t use your fireplace what should you do?  Well filling the mouth of your fireplace can help it to become décor within the space.  First clean out the mouth of your fireplace then take some rough pieces of wood, framed photos of the family, poinsettias, candles etc. and place them inside.  That way you have found a use for your fireplace that will help to display your holiday spirit.

Brighten your mantle with sparkle

The mantle is an important part for the fireplace during the holidays and if you are not opting for the stockings this year here are so other ways to make it merrier.  Drape fabric over the mantle, it will give the room and fireplace more texture and add color to the space.  Decorative mirrors, holiday vases and ceramics will definitely be winners for the fireplace décor.  By putting in these accents you add variety and force everyone to take a second look.

Hang them High

How about a classic?  Hanging letters over the fireplace to help summon the holiday cheer.  Pick some of your favorite quotes or phrases from beloved Christmas movies, books, or songs.  Quotes like, “DECK THE HALLS” “MERRY CHRISTMAS” or “PEACE” are popular ideas.  It can be as humorous or as heartfelt as you would like for it to be.  The choice is yours.

Fireplaces are one of the key areas we hit when putting up décor for the holidays.  This year instead of just going with the status quo make the decor unique and your own.  So take a look at the list above and see what other ideas you can come up with that will make your fireplace the holiday special!
