6 inspiring ideas for a red Christmas table
A red table setting completes the best moment of Christmas. Choose checks, stripes, or frills—or all at once.
1. Layer red on red
Cloth napkins are an easy way to add a festive touch to the table. Stick to one color palette for a look that’s especially inviting. Layered plates always feel celebratory. The products shown are from Hemtex’s holiday collection.
Tip!
Lay placemats over the tablecloth—two layers of linens feel cozy and abundant.
2. Bows and a touch of steel
An easy way to amp up the festive mood is to tie a statement bow around the napkin. This Christmas, on-trend bows are popping up on tableware and candleholders, too. Stainless steel pieces are having a moment. The items shown are from Lagerhaus’s holiday collection.
3. Eye candy
A paper pom-pom candy makes a playful accent on the table. An evergreen garland suits both abundant and minimalist Christmas settings. Add a string of LED lights for sparkle. The products pictured are from IKEA.
4. Less is more
In a minimalist table setting, let the tablecloth be the showstopper. Oversized checks are especially on-trend this Christmas. The textiles and tableware are from Granit’s holiday collection.
5. Bold stripes make a great base
A striped tablecloth and ornate tableware are a charming match. Stripes bring a lively rhythm to the setting. Products by Strömshaga.
6. Cozy checks are the thing this Christmas
Check lovers are in luck this year: big and small checks have found their way onto tablecloths, napkins, and placemats alike. If a decorative look feels right, a checked cloth with a frilled edge is a spot-on choice. The products pictured are from Strömshaga.
