How to Style Your Dining Room for Christmas


Finding the right style for your dining room this Christmas can be tricky. Not only should you think about the festive aesthetic but practicality, too. Luckily, Peppermill Interiors have a few simple guidelines you can follow when it comes to having the perfectly styled Christmas dining room, helping you enhance your festive aesthetic. 

Whether you already have decorations and simply need to know how to style them, or you need a whole set of Christmas supplies, this guide goes over everything you need to know about creating the perfect dining room for Christmas!

Start with a Colour Scheme


When deciding on dining room Christmas décor, a simple colour palette that embraces classic Christmas colours is the best way to start. Choose between two or three hues of red, green, white and gold - use the one that complements your interior the most! For a unified look, follow the theme you've used for your main Christmas tree or other areas of your home.

Add a Festive Centrepiece


To get your guests into the festive spirit add a Christmas garland or wreath to the centre of your table. Dress it up with ornaments, picks, and ribbons that reflect your colour palette. You can even combine fresh fruits, nuts, and pinecones if they fit your theme. Or, how about a tray of ornaments or a grouping of tabletop trees and snow globes? These also make great Christmas centrepieces for the dining table.

Play with Different Heights


Bring depth to your Christmas table centrepiece with candles in varying heights and shapes. Alternate tall taper or pillar candles with votives across the length of the table. This creates a warm and relaxed ambience.

Add a Personal Touch


Make your family and guests feel extra special with thoughtful place settings. A personal touch goes a long way, whether it’s a handwritten place card, a small token, or DIY Christmas decorations. Charming details like napkin art also incorporate your signature style and share the joy of the season.
