When Do You Need Table Decorations?

Table decorations are appropriate at any time of year, especially when you find seasonal or celebratory themes and motifs to highlight holidays, a change in weather, an upcoming birthday or the arrival of guests. Show off your good taste by adorning every surface with a little something special.

• Your entryway is a prime spot for trays, mirrors, bowls, catch-alls, baskets, statues or lit decor. Keep this area decorated at all times.
• In your living room or entertaining areas, use your coffee table and side tables as decorative tableaus when you have guests for a weekend or when hosting a party.
• Change the decor in bedrooms and bathrooms to match the season, especially around winter or spring holidays.

Selecting Decor For Your Tabletop Aesthetic

The dining room offers a unique opportunity for table decorations. Since special meals often include centrepieces, you can embellish your tabletop with plenty of interesting accents.

• Run the length of the table with a runner over a tablecloth or on its own to create a defined band for decor.
• Place candles, botanicals, figurines and ornaments along the runner down the centre of the table.
• When you choose high-quality table linens, it's easy to decorate. The versatility of a crisp white or earth-toned linen lasts throughout the seasons.
• Complement your dinnerware and utensils. It can be fun to choose seasonal dinner plates as part of your motif.

Picking High-Quality Decor That Lasts

The best table decorations are ones that last season after season and still work as you update furniture and primary decor like curtains or rugs. Your tabletop accents can also help you transition from one season to the next or bridge a creative gap between major holidays.
