Christmas Table Eleganza: How to Spruce Up Your Settings

If there is any perfect time to create a special place setting for your guests, it’s Christmas. It’s the month when everyone gathers around the table to celebrate the holidays. One way to make it more magical is by decorating it for the season.

Fortunately, you don’t need to spend a lot to elevate your table setting. Your favorite kitchen essentials and other home pieces (plus your fave cleaning hacks!) should do the trick.

Importance of Festive Table Setting this Christmas

This year has been a roller coaster, hasn’t it? It’s only fair to bookend it in the most festive way possible.

Setting your dinner table is a time-honored tradition every Christmas. Elevating the place where you share meals tells friends and family that you love celebrating the holidays with them. Plus, you can’t go wrong with adding a bit of festive flair to the occasion.

How Do You Set Up Your Holiday Dinner?

Before you start decorating your table setting for the holidays, it pays to clean first! A clean table makes for a great canvas.

Once you’ve wiped the table down with your favorite cleaning products, pat it dry with an absorbent paper towel. Naturale’s Kitchen Towels can easily clean spills with its moisture-locking technology, which absorbs liquid messes 100%. If you’re looking for a quicker clean, Naturale’s Interfolded Paper Towels come with an interlock feature, which means you'll get one sheet of organic paper towels per pull.

DIY Decorations for a More Personalized Touch

Seasonal flowers add a pop of color to any table décor. If you don’t have fresh flowers, make paper flowers instead. These paper blossoms are made from different materials such as scrapbook paper, crepe paper, cardstock, and even tissue paper. Use these materials to make DIY paper flowers like dahlias, peonies, roses, and anemones.

Make the flowers stand out by using a neutral tablecloth, such as gray, white, or beige. This offers a clean and sophisticated look for your table décor.

Use Doilies for a Touch of Elegance

Tired of using basic placemats for your table? Add a touch of elegance with paper doilies!

These ornamental mats resemble snowflakes, which are popular Christmas symbols. Cover your tablecloth with a bunch of paper doilies and sprinkle glitter along the table for the sparkling effect snow is known for.

Naturale’s Paper Doilies do more than liven up your table setting. These ornamental mats are durable enough to catch messes and spills. Made from unbleached and food-grade paper, these double as hygienic barriers between your food and the table. Keep your table clean and festive at the same time with our beautiful paper doilies.

Available in three sizes: small, medium, and large.

Add Stationery

Add some holiday cheer to your table with a menu, thank you card, or name card. You can print stationery and cut it into pretty shapes or write on luggage labels. If you want to go extra with your basic table settings and have more room in your budget, have a calligrapher or illustrator create custom name tags for you.

Layer Up Plates and Napkins in Different Combinations

Fold napkins at the side of the plate and place the cutlery on top or at the side of the plate. You can also fold the napkins in between the side plate and dinner plate. A stack of paper napkins is also decorative and helpful at the same time.

Naturale has a beautiful selection of minimalist yet elegant table napkins! Take your pick from one of the following:

• Naturale Pre-Cut Table Napkins. Our pre-cut table napkins are perfect for at-home dinner parties! Absorbent and durable, these table napkins are also free from artificial whiteners and elemental chlorine.

• Naturale Lunch Table Napkins. Our table napkins bring a nature-inspired theme to your Christmas dining table. Its durable embossing makes the napkin just as absorbent and strong as white paper products.

• Naturale Folded Table Napkins. These folded table napkins are naturally colored and sprinkle a dash of eco-luxe on your table.

Make your holiday feasts merrier and more delectable with a table setting that reflects the festivities!
