How to Decorate your Table this Christmas!!

Most of us remember to decorate the patio, Christmas tree and the mantle, but we ignore the dining table. Make this Christmas most memorable with classy and stylish red, green, white and gold table decorations.
How to decorate the dining table for Christmas
  • Cover the table with Christmas themed table runners or placemats.
  • Host a small Christmas tree or a Reindeer as the centerpiece to set the Christmas mood.
  • Place two glass jar candle holders on either side which will be in perfect harmony with the table runners.
  • Add layers of color, though red steals the show, use white to break the monotony of the red.
  • Use cutlery which may have a reindeer stem for the festive feel. It is fine to use the regular ones too.
Gifts for the guests
Give something thoughtful to your guest. Viva Home Decor offers a wide range of festive gift items. This includes a combination of gift sets that range from stockings to placemats, aprons, table runners, dish towels, photo frames and much more. Another option to wrap the gift is in burlap and decorate with Christmas embezzlements. You may also keep the gift table at the door so that guests can simply pick up a package on their way out.

Dress the coffee table or the side board with gold ribbons laid in a criss-cross fashion so it looks like a gift itself. Place the silver on it for the magical effect of Christmas. Wrap the gifts in white, red or green wrapping and stack this on the table. Remember to put up a wreath on the wall where this table is kept to add to the holiday feeling.
Remember to dress the outdoors
Make the outdoors exciting and lively by decorating the porch and the walkway. Place candle holders along the path to the entrance door. A snowman at the gate with a wall accent is a unique idea.

  • Make a schedule :
If you both are working, or you are single and working, then it’s just weekends that you get for Christmas preparations. Prioritize and schedule the tasks so that you are not drained by the time the fun time begins.
  • Junk the junk now :
Why wait for the guests to arrive and you are busy pulling out the junk.
Start today! Sort out what you have not used in the last 90 days and just trash it. Donate the toys if your children outgrown them. Give the house a deep cleaning. Remove the cobwebs as nothing will look pretty when nestled in cobwebs. Deep clean the house by dusting, vacuuming and mopping. Get your kids to clean their rooms too. Get the pots inside if they are unable to survive the cold winters. Rake all the dry leaves strewn around the yard. Another option is to hire a cleaning service. It may be expensive, but a single day heavy cleaning can do wonders for your home. Consider this your Christmas present to yourself!
  • Light up :

Either you can use the lights that you already have or this is the right time to go to the store to buy new lights. You don’t have to be an expert to light up your home for Christmas. Light up the home the way you like it. Remember to buy lots of hooks and nails. Measure approximately how much length of light you will require if you plan to string the outer faces or put stripes of light across the roof. Since you are out shopping, buy the Christmas decorations as well.
  • Get the home guest ready :
It is a good idea to replace the ceiling fixtures so that guests do not fiddle with the air conditioning system, but can customize their room temperature. Light up the alleys and hallways in the house to avoid accidents and injury.
Make sleeping arrangements by using folding beds and roll away screen to offer guests privacy when sleeping in public areas.
Increase the storage space in the kitchen and bathroom as well by clearing table tops. Stock your fridge. You can bake and freeze most of the goodies in advance
Place the toiletries, toilet paper, towels on open shelves or open baskets for guests to find them easily.
