Christmas decorating - For your table

Some homes are so overdecorated for Christmas you don't know what to look at and come away with a jumble of impressions. How much better is it to present a simple display that gets noticed.

Before you go out and buy new objects to decorate look at what you have with a creative eye.  There are so many possibilities.  I hope this collection gives you ideas of your own.

Fresh Flowers


I've always loved cream coloured poinsettias.  As you near Christmas they often go on sale and the longer you wait the less you'll pay.  If your deal looks a little bedraggled this is the perfect solution. Cut  the blooms and arrange separately in bottles or clear glass vases. Perfect.

Keep your display simple and repetitive. Carnations are relatively inexpensive and last forever. 

Tiered Trays

Style at Home

A tiered tray is perfect for displaying special or themed ornaments.


Consider stacking several cake plates of varying sizes to make an arrangement similar to this one.



Glass Candlestick Holders

A mirrored tray makes everything look fantastic especially glass.




Create your own glitter candles and display with glass candle holders. Place a few candles in a large box and coat with spray adhesive (sold at crafts stores). Spoon glitter over the candles to coat; let dry overnight.


Fresh Fruit



Divine Distractions

Simple white candles of varying heights, oranges and greenery.

The pink adds that special touch to this display of greenery and pears.


Ornaments

Layer a vase on a tray of similar shape and fill with ornaments.



Good Life of Design

Tall glass  vases or jars are perfect for displaying ornaments  or fruits as a centerpiece.  Add in some greenery and few candles and presto- stunning centerpiece
