When it comes to colour themes , red and green aren ’ t for everyone . Pastel shades are taking the interiors world by storm currently and , when it comes to tablescaping , can leave the space feeling modern , light and playful , signifying new beginnings . Unlike other colour palettes , pastels allow a little more freedom to be creative – use the table as a canvas to create a dreamy , idyllic backdrop . Take inspiration from your tablecloth ; blush pinks are incredibly popular this year and can create a warming romantic feel . Begin to coordinate the look by layering textures : napkins in sage green or chintzy florals will complement the scheme beautifully , and don ’ t be afraid of print-on-print . Adding in a splash of gold with plate chargers , serving dishes and cutlery will bring the table to life .
Steer clear of traditional festive foliage and instead create a floral display of poinsettias in an array of colours , roses , or orchids paired with eucalyptus . Combined with baby blue or peach , extra tall tapered candles positioned at varying heights will create a row of interest along the centre of the table , but will also allow for beautiful serving dishes to take their places . Include a hero-piece too because you can afford to be extra playful with this theme ; a kitsch fun ornament should do the trick .
Don ’ t overlook vintage tableware pieces because they work perfectly with pastel tones and will complement the overall look creating a modern Christmas setting – an Instagrammer ’ s dream . Complete the table with thoughtful little details such as handmade name cards , individual flowers or some loud crackers that tie everything together . Collectively , the small details will truly transform your table .
