Background to Multiple Captures
Camille’s spaces are always filled with cozy textures, and the same goes for her tablescapes. Here, she layered many nature-inspired pieces to give her table the rustic charm she’s known for. To create the look yourself, add a garland down the center of your table and choose woven place markers. Gold flatware, neutral ceramics, and linen napkins all exude warmth, creating an inviting table that looks sophisticated, yet casual. To finish it off, add a few candles to make your table glow. A flickering candle will be especially cozy if you dim the lights in your kitchen.

Keep It Small
Although some may say that the holiday season is far from simple, Christmas day decoration ideas do not have to be complicated. Greenery is abundant this time of year, and you don’t really need to do much to make it beautiful. For a chic and minimalist holiday table, start by throwing a linen tablecloth and don’t worry about wrinkles—they’re not perfect. Next, add an actual garland instead of a table runner. Nothing beats the smell and feel of fresh greenery, and it will last all season. Plus, you won’t have to look across the aisle to talk to your lover at the table. Keep your place settings simple with neutral dinnerware, and don’t forget to add place cards and a sprig of garland for added flair.

Make It Bright
Ideas for decorating the table for Christmas Day are all about light, and there is nothing better than eating at a table full of candles. Not to mention the roaring fire nearby! Camille chose tall, black candle holders for her holiday table this year with white candles. Be sure to use candle holders of varying heights to create some asymmetry, and add small votive candles for even more sparkle. Candlelight makes any dinner party special, but I’d say it’s a necessity for the holiday season. Who doesn’t want lots of bright lights at Christmas?

Add Pops of Color
Camille loves neutrals, but that doesn’t mean she shuns color. In this table painting, it combines ruby ​​red pomegranates that look beautiful in combination with greenery. Great pop for something unexpected, yet totally catchy. Looking at nature is always the best place for inspiration, and Camille has included cinnamon sticks in this recipe. You can see them in garland and place settings! If you like this look, don’t be afraid to use another in-season fruit on your holiday table. Let yourself be inspired by winter oranges, cranberries or pears – they can all look amazing.

This tablescape by Devon Liedtke is a great example of beautiful simplicity. She lets the natural colors of her table shine—from the table itself to the food on the plates. No need to worry if you don’t have linens or garland, this table proves that you can do without. A beautiful flower arrangement adorns the center of her table, along with simple place settings.
