Christmas Centerpiece DecorWe begin with a slew of centerpiece ideas, and we can’t help but love the glistening assortment of tabletop selections offered by CB2 this holiday season, including glass trees and candlesticks. Mix silver and transparent pieces for variety, and enjoy the way the candlelight bounces off each shiny surface for a warm glow. These reflective selections are perfect for modern interiors!
There’s a centerpiece for every style! If you’re hunting for a look that is both earthy and contemporary, try the Star 9 Candleholder from CB2, which is rustic yet modern with its powdercoated steel frame. Not to mention, the piece is strategically weathered with a raw finish and exposed brass welding.
This next featured table combines the best of vibrant textiles (like a red and white chevron runner) and charming details (such as mason jar candle holders). Greenery, pine cones, berries and pomegranates tie the look together. A perfect blend of crisp decor and country style! [fromRikki Snyder Photography]
For a similar look, select berries and other red accents, such as antique lanterns and colorful candle holders. Don’t forget that hanging decorations can add just as much to your table as the items that rest on its surface. Check out the geometric snowflakes below! [from Kay Loves Vintage]
In fact, some of the best Christmas tables combine varied elements in a display of contrast. Don’t be afraid to mix two different looks for a unique effect. For example, the mercury glass bird and votive candle holders below blend beautifully with natural details such as pine cones, placemats and the natural wood of the table.

We can’t forget about dessert! Christmas is such a magical time, and the season is filled with delicious treats and special baked goods. Create a candy shop effect with a table of goodies, buffet-style! Below we see a dessert table by Mon Tresor, featuring a red, aqua and white color scheme. [from Mon Tresor via Green Apple Paperie]
Christmas DishwareAnother great way to enliven your Christmas spread is to add a few new plates and serving pieces. Spice up your table with some vibrant Marin Red Dinnerware from Crate & Barrel, shown here with pieces from the Sycamore Dinnerware collection. This two-toned combo proves that a little bit of holiday color can go a long way, especially when seasonal patterned napkins are thrown into the mix!
Bring a playful element to your holiday table with these Penguin Friends Dessert Plates from West Elm. Perfect for festive appetizers and desserts, the plates are made of porcelain and are purchased in sets of four. The best part: their patchwork motifs are perfect for serving tasty treats all year long!
