4 Dreamy Christmas Tablescape Ideas (& What To Wear With Them)
From classic tartans and red velvety bows to extra looks the modern fashion girl will love, we have a Christmas tablescape for every taste this holiday season. And, as an extra special Christmas gift, a cute matching outfit to pair with each one. You’re welcome.
1. Classic Christmas
When it comes to tablescaping, Alice Naylor-Leyland leaves not an inch of the dining table untouched. The society girl gained recognition for her incredible table setups and impeccable taste in interiors (not to mention her enviable wardrobe), which has now been made into a bona fide business.
Her Christmas collection seamlessly blends beautiful, traditional crockery with fun, whimsical touches. Go there for charming nutcracker figurines, festive tartan linens, and rechargeable lamps that illuminate the tabletop yet can be stylishly used throughout the house long after the holidays.

2. Scandi cool Christmas
Snowflakes and reindeer aren’t for everyone. If you’re after a more modern, minimalist approach with a nod to Scandi cool for your table this year, check out this pared-back look from Amuse La Bouche.
Keep things simple with faux green foliage, candy cane stripes and small touches of gold – some chic dinner candles are enough.
Jeans and a nice top in festive red, paired with shoes that are essentially slippers, keep the whole look low-key and cool.
Perfect if you love a modern, minimalist approach, and a nod to Scandi cool with your interiors style.

3. Pink candy stripes & red velvet bows
This festive tablescape, created by former fashion designer-turned-interiors tastemaker Sara Austin, is fun, playful, and perfect if you don’t want to take your Christmas table too seriously.
This is definitely one for the fashion girlies: think copious amounts of velvet bows, a clashing pink and red colour palette, bold stripes, and wreaths brought indoors – because wouldn’t you rather get the joy of seeing them all season long?
Finish the look with Anna + Nina’s sweet bow-emblazoned coupes and Meri Meri’s fun candy cane stripe and pearl-adorned crackers.
Naturally, a matching pink and red velvet outfit is the perfect complement.
This is the fashion girl’s take on Christmas tablescaping.

Look 4 – Modern, minimalist Christmas
If your interior style leans toward minimalist, this look from sustainable home brand By Mölle is the perfect inspiration.
The finishing touches will take your Christmas dinner table from something special to full-on festive magic.
Go for winter whites, rustic wood platters for canapés and sharing dishes, Scandinavian-inspired candle holders, charming paper decorations, and a subtle twinkling of fairy lights across the table. Add foliage – faux or foraged from the garden – and just a few pops of brown and green to make the table sing, but still feel natural and low-key.
