A friend asked for information on Holiday table settings so I agreed to set one up today. Of course my thinking was, I have plenty of table top decorations for this project. Not so. And after a major life change this year, it wasn't in the cards to go purchase any. So, with the challenge before me, I set out to create an appealing and enticing table setting. Using leftover fabric from a clients window treatments, fall decor, candles and food I came up with a warm, cozy and inviting dinner setting for four.
When setting a table, remember to keep the middle decorations low so as not to interfere with conversation. In this example the higher items are on each end of the table and the centerpiece is not in the way of seeing your dinner companions.
Color is the most obvious element of decorating but don't forget to use texture (the wheat in the background , chenille fabric and glass plates) as well as different types of lighting. The over head light was turned low providing ambient light from the candles. They also guide the eye to where you want them to go. Wine anyone?
