1. The Rustic One
Get The Look:
First up on our list of stunning Christmas dinner tablescapes is, of course, the rustic one!

Grab some goblets and some raw, wooden accents and you’ve got a foresty wonderland ready to go!
Color Palette: Forest tones; browns, golds, greens and creams.
Accessories: White pillar candles, pine cones and a pine centerpiece.
Tableware: White, round plates and golden glasses.
Cutlery: Copper.
Essentials: The obvious essential in this rustic look is the round, wooden slabs for table mats, rounding off the whole look. A must for this look!

There’s just something about plaid that spells the holiday season, right? Exactly! So, this plaid look with its lovely little table runner is a simple, yet sophisticated approach to your Christmas dinner tablescape this year. Add in some plaid napkins and you’re golden!

5. The Glam One
Get The Look:
With this glamorous look, it’s hard to deny how stunning it is – despite its obvious differences! Pink is definitely not a typical Christmas color, but we think this Christmas dinner tablescape is a unique – and equally beautiful – alternative to the more traditional styles.
Color Palette: Pastel pinks, silvers and white.
Accessories: Pastel pink candles, satin napkins and a white table runner.
Tableware: Silver bowls, white plates and tall, wine glasses.
Cutlery: Silver.
Essentials: Although there are many items in this look that could be deemed essential, we think the wintery decorations are the top shots here! This precious Poinsettia flower is a perfect addition to your glamorous Christmas tablescape.

If you have the room for it (who are we kidding, of course you do!), consider adding some Convokins to this look. In a nutshell, imagine a conversation-starter games meets a napkin and they create a hybrid – and that’s exactly what they are! They have the power to get any party started and Christmas should be no different!
6. The Minimalist One
Get The Look:
There’s a certain magic that comes with minimalism and this Christmas dinner tablescape does this so, so well. This look works especially well for smaller spaces – not only on the table! – but also in a smaller home space in general. With that being said, dialing back on decorations does not have to mean you lose the festive spirit at all, and this look proves that 100 times over!
Color Palette: Greens, golds and white.
Accessories: White vase with pine leaves, gold candles and a white linen tablecloth.
Tableware: White bowls and plates with tall, crystal glasses.
Cutlery: Gold.
Essentials: In this case, any form of Christmas decoration would be considered essential to separate it from just being a regular table setting. These golden stars are the perfect anecdote to this minimalist look.

7. The Fruity One
Get The Look:
Okay, so this Christmas dinner tablescape may be a little more ‘out there’ than we’re used to, but we actually think it works really well within its theme! Sugary fruits are definitely a festive decoration, and they work just as well on a table setting here!
Color Palette: Fruity tones; reds, oranges, greens, purples and white.
Accessories: Clear crystal bowls, pine leaves and a white tablecloth.
Tableware: Red, patterned plates and silver-rimmed glass goblets.
Cutlery: Silver.
Essentials: The star of this show is the sugary fruits, of course! There are hundreds to choose from online, but we especially love these red holly berries from Amazon.
8. The Wintery One
Get The Look:
We know we’re not supposed to favorites of the favorites, but this one might just be it! The combination of the rustic wood, the wintery tones and the big, beautiful Christmas tree as the backdrop makes for a pretty idyllic Christmas dinner tablescape!
Color Palette: Greens, beige, cream and white.
Accessories: White pillar candles, pine leaves and personalised name settings and napkins.

9. The Detailed One
Get The Look:
Last, but never least, is the super focused, attention-to-detailed Christmas dinner tablescape. This look typically takes a little longer to execute as there are so many details that go into achieving the outcome successfully. With that being said, if you’re someone who loves to collect Christmas ornaments every year, then this is the one for you!
Color Palette: Golds, greens and white.
Accessories: Many! A golden cake stand, mini Christmas trees, and some golden stars.
Tableware: White plates and golden goblets.
Cutlery: Gold.
Essentials: As this look is focused on details, the more detailed the ornaments the better! Try to approach it as if you’re creating a miniature nativity scene or straight out of the North Pole – the kids will love it!
