28 Christmas Table Decor Ideas (Easy, Elegant Tablescapes)

Here are 28 ideas.

Runners and Base Layers

The runner is layer one.

Low Centerpieces Under 12 Inches

The centerpiece is layer two.

Candles and Light

Candles are layer three and the source of height. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's holiday decoration safety advice says to keep burning candles within sight and away from decorations.

Napkins, Rings and Place Settings

Layer four is one detail at each seat. Choose a single item per place so the plate does not look crowded.

Three Palettes, One Formula

The same four layers work in any style. Only the colors and materials change, so pick one palette and repeat it.

Finishing Touches That Cost Little

These two cost almost nothing and use items you already have.
