Dinner or a family reunion is one of the most essential parts of Christmas, thus centrepieces are an important part of home design.
However, other from poinsettias and candles, there are a variety of easy DIY ideas that will add a unique touch to your home and bring the Christmas spirit into every area from the dining room to the living room.
If you’re looking for a different way to decorate your table beyond the traditional poinsettias and candles, we’ve got 9 ideas for you.
1. Lanterns
Placing lanterns along that is a great way to create different Christmas centrepieces. Glass lanterns, whether huge, tiny, or of various sizes, will lend a modern and trendy touch to your decorating, and you can accent them with pineapples and sprigs of holly.
2. Fir Branch
Another option for a unique centerpiece is to arrange a single fir branch down the center of the table. The important thing is that it be thin and long, whether natural or artificial, so that the decoration has a minimalist feel. This idea is not only simple, but it also allows you to experiment with other items such as plates and napkins.
3. Christmas Pumpkins
Who says pumpkins are only useful in the autumn? If you want to build a unique Christmas centerpiece, mix in some pumpkins with veggies and fruits to add a creative touch. If the pumpkins are artificial, another option is to paint them in golden or silver tones to make them look more Christmas.
4. Simple or Minimal Style
Christmas centerpieces don’t have to be red, green, white, or gold to be festive. If you want a different look, a metal tray or a tray in gold or silver tones can be used to add a sombre and minimalist touch. All of the ornaments have either cool or warm tones, which is the key.
5. Rustic Style
Another option for creating unique Christmas centrepieces is to go for a rustic look and use wood as a base. You can decorate them with natural pinecones of various sizes, pomegranates, and personalized candles, whether they are logs or carved wood, to make a unique centerpiece. If you can’t find a piece of wood, a kitchen board made of this material can suffice.
6. Dessert as a Focal Point
Why not make the muffin or cake the star of the show? Because the dessert can be the focal point of a holiday meal, it should be placed in the center of the table in a metal, glass, or wood base. Only keep in mind that it does not require refrigeration and that you should serve it right before supper. Flowers, pinecones, and candles can be placed around it to add a finishing touch.
7. Fruit in Center
Fruits are another fantastic way to decorate for Christmas, and a centerpiece made of them would look amazing on your table. You can arrange apples, oranges, or other seasonal fruits on trays with foliage and candles to create a unique centerpiece, whether fresh or dehydrated. It will also emit an aromatic scent around your home.
8. Centerpiece with Lights
A light-up centerpiece can be a unique way to adorn your home. When you add a path of lights to a simple arrangement of fir branches and pine cones, it transforms completely. Another option is to use only spheres or garlands to give your table a minimalist feel.
9. Flower Vase
The centerpiece of your Christmas table does not have to be overt, and a superb floral arrangement can blend in well with your home’s décor while still filling the space with Christmas enthusiasm. Above all, vases or tiny arrangements in red, white, or pastel colors can be placed on circular tables.
