Table in the living room – ideas for Christmas decorations
A table is not just a piece of furniture. It’s a place where we meet with family and friends. Family meals, joint holidays or celebrations – all this takes place at the table. When choosing a dining table, it is worth focusing not only on the right size of the table, but also on a table that will harmonize with the interior. In this festive time, we have prepared a blog in which we suggest how and with what to decorate your wooden tables for the dining room or living room.

What to decorate tables with for the holidays?
During the holiday season, we often decorate tables and other furniture in the living room or dining room. Decorating your table for the holidays is a great way to bring in the holiday spirit and make your meals more festive. Here are some table decoration ideas for holidays like Christmas:
- Elegant Christmas table in traditional colors: use red, green and gold as the main decorative colors. Opt for a white tablecloth as a background for the rest of the decorations.
- Christmas Tableware: Use Christmas tableware with Christmas themes. Add a Christmas tree-shaped table runner or a table path.
- Candlesticks and candles: A solid wood table will look great in the company of candlelight. Set up candle holders decorated with stars, reindeer, or Christmas trees. Add candles in gold, silver, or red.
- Christmas tree decorations: Place mini Christmas trees, baubles and garlands on the table. Put decorative baubles in glasses or bowls.
- Napkins and tablecloths: Use napkins in festive colors or with Christmas patterns. A tablecloth decorated with stars or snowflakes will fit perfectly.

Round tables or rectangular tables?
The choice between round and rectangular tables depends mainly on your aesthetic preferences, features, and the space you have at your disposal. The final choice depends on your personal taste, the space you have available, and how you want your party to look. Some people prefer round tables for a more intimate atmosphere, while others choose rectangular tables for their practical benefits in terms of space organization. Find out which table will be better for Christmas gatherings.
Round tables:
- Intimate atmosphere: Round tables often foster a more intimate atmosphere because all guests are closer to each other.
- No sharp edges: Round tables do not have sharp edges, which can be safe, especially for children.
- They look good in smaller spaces: In rooms with less space, round tables can feel more spacious.
Rectangular tables:
- Use of space: Rectangular tables make more efficient use of space, especially in longer rooms.
- Ideal for a large group: For larger groups, rectangular tables can provide more seating.
- Easier arrangement of decorative elements: Wooden rectangular tables have a flat surface, which makes it easy to arrange decorations such as table runners, napkins or ornaments.
- Organize space more easily: With rectangular tables, it’s easier to organize your space when you plan to serve food along one long edge of the table.
Or maybe… extendable tables:
- Space flexibility: The extendable table allows you to easily adapt the space to different needs. You can unfold or fold it depending on the number of guests.
- Space-saving: Extendable tables are a great solution for people who have limited space. After use, they can be folded to free up space.
- Ideal for small rooms: In small kitchens or dining rooms, extendable tables can be more practical than fixed tables.
- Fluctuating guest numbers: If you frequently host different events, extendable tables allow you to adapt your space to the changing number of guests.
Modern Table vs Classic Table – Decorations
Dining tables, the classic ones or the more modern ones, gather your loved ones during the holiday season. We have prepared some interesting ideas for modern tables as well as solid wood tables to make them look stylish and festive. Original Christmas table decorations can add a special touch to your holidays. Here are some creative ideas for original table decorations for different holiday occasions:
- Fireflies in jars: Place small LED fireflies in decorative jars. Arrange the jars along the center or place them around the main decoration.
- Christmas balls in a vase: Colorful baubles placed in a transparent vase or bowl. Add small LED lights for extra effect.
- Natural elements: decorate the table path with fir branches, pine cones and walnuts. Add some fresh flowers to add color.
- Mini Christmas Trees: Put mini Christmas trees in each guest seat as a cute gift. Decorate them with small baubles and garlands.
- Colored & Painted Glassware: Arrange colored glass glasses or mugs on the table. Paint glass Christmas ornaments and use them as cute coasters.
- Illuminated bottles: Place small LED lights in clean bottles. Create decorative compositions with different bottle shapes.
