How to Decorate a Tablescape
-
Choose a color and a theme
- Opt for around three colors: two neutrals and one accent color. The neutrals should make up the largest portion of the decoration.
-
Start with a base layer
- Use a centerpiece, such as a large dinner plate, for your base layer. There’s no hard and fast rule about color, but try to stick to the theme.
-
Think practically
- Consider what you or your guests will need during dinner and don’t forget to save space for it, whether that’s serving dishes or drinks.
-
Choose your texture
- You can add a reflective or gloss texture, with silverware or vases, or a coarse and natural texture, with hessian napkins.
-
Add the final details
- Your accents and decorations needn’t be fancy. A centerpiece can be as simple as a few beautiful small vases with leaves and tealight candles.

DIY Woven Placemats
I was hosting a few dinner parties this month, and wanted to up my dinner hosting game. Plus with Christmas corner, I wanted to have an amazing table spread. I looked for economical ways to make nice place settings, while still having an overall high end look. I found tons of placemats online that I LOVED. Except for the price tag. So I made my own.I must warn you….This is not a fast craft, or something that you can complete in a short amount of time, or even a day. It took some patience, but I love the end result. There is a little bit of an investment up front to buy the materials if you do not have them, but overall it was still cheaper for me to make them myself than to buy the other ones since I wanted at least 20. Here are the materials you will need:Materials:Thicker rope at least 1/2 in.Raffia. I wanted smooth long raffia, and found THIS on Amazon.Macrame for edge Fringe (optional.) I used THIS.ScissorsWide tooth comb/ brushProcess:All of the process is pretty much the same and quite repetitive. It involves no glue, and lots of wrapping. I ended up cutting a long strip of the raffia to work with. You will have to cut more as you go… It’s inevitable. But this way starting with a cut piece, it allows you to pull and thread it through the smaller holes as needed as you go. I didn’t cut the larger rope piece that I was wrapping around, but just worked with it around the roll as I went, and kept it in one long piece. I also tried using several chunks of raffia for my center core piece, and it worked fine. I made one with it, and had no issues, but I thought the overall look of the larger rope as the core worked better, and it went much faster too… Here is a side by side of one with raffia in the center, and one with rope.
