Create a Monochromatic Table Setting for the Holidays

Here are a few tips from a designer on how to create a monochromatic table setting for the holidays:
  1. Choose a color scheme. The first step is to choose a color scheme for your table setting. Consider the overall style of your holiday décor, as well as the colors that you enjoy. Popular choices for monochromatic table settings include white, silver, gold, red, and green.
  2. Layer your linens. Once you have chosen a color scheme, it's time to start layering your linens. Start with a tablecloth or runner in your base color. Then, add a layer of napkins in a complementary shade. You can also add a third layer of placemats or chargers.
  3. Add texture and interest. To add texture and interest to your table setting, incorporate a variety of materials. For example, you could use velvet napkins, crystal glasses, or metallic chargers. You can also add natural elements, such as pinecones, berries, or greenery.
  4. Don't forget the centerpiece. A centerpiece is essential for any table setting, but it's especially important for a monochromatic setting. Choose a centerpiece that complements your color scheme and adds a touch of elegance. For example, you could use a vase of flowers, a bowl of fruit, or a candle arrangement.

Here are a few specific ideas for monochromatic table settings for the holidays:
  1. White Christmas: Use a white tablecloth, white napkins, and white candles for a classic and elegant look. Add a touch of sparkle with silver or crystal glasses and chargers.
  2. Silver and Gold: Combine silver and gold for a glamorous and festive table setting. Use a silver tablecloth or runner, gold napkins, and silver and gold candles. Add a touch of greenery with pine boughs or holly.
  3. Red and Green: The classic red and green color scheme is perfect for the holidays. Use a red tablecloth, green napkins, and red and green candles. Add a touch of whimsy with reindeer figurines or candy canes.
No matter what color scheme you choose, a monochromatic table setting is a sure way to impress your guests and create a festive and inviting holiday atmosphere.
