Consider a plain dining room table a blank artist's palette waiting for you to fill it with lively colors and inspired designs. Enhance a table to complement an overall dining room color scheme or decor theme, such as beach, Moroccan or nature inspired. Dining room tables can also set the stage for festive seasonal decorations. Does this Spark an idea?
Garden-Inspired Table
Design a fresh garden-inspired table scape using flowers and other summery items. A floral table decor theme is ideal for spring gatherings, themed birthday bashes, tea parties and Easter celebrations. Cover the table with a butter yellow-hued cloth or runner. Roll crisp white linen napkins, and accent them with flower-inspired rings. Another option is to wrap green leaves around the napkins, and secure them with pieces of translucent tape. Serve guests on delicate porcelain plates featuring bird and tree patterns. For a simple centerpiece, fill a white ceramic vase with vibrant yellow, pink and orange tulips or daisies.
Picnic-Style Setting
For a country chic dinner table, take a cue from casual picnic-inspired decor. Cover the table with a red and white checked cloth for a whimsical look. Roll red bandannas as cloth napkins, and secure them with simple burnished gold or silver rings. Set the table with vintage porcelain plates featuring sweet cherry or strawberry designs. Rustic terra cotta plant pots filled with fragrant herbs, such as lemongrass, lavender and rosemary, make centerpieces with plenty of farmhouse appeal. Display silverware on the table in woven picnic basket-inspired containers.
Autumn-Inspired Table
If you are hosting a Thanksgiving dinner or simply want to infuse your table with a warm, Autumn-inspired style, use harvest-hued items. Accent an elegant linen table cloth with deep orange, red or gold napkins held with a burnished gold ring. Fill gold candlesticks with tall gold taper candles to cast a soft, cozy glow across the dinner table. For an exotic and richly-colored centerpiece, fill a crystal bowl with red pomegranates, orange persimmons, green artichokes, yellow gourds and a few white mini pumpkins. The fall bounty display will give the table a fresh appeal.
