10 simple, irresistible ideas to make dinnertime a special occasion using table centerpieces
We all enjoy decorating our homes in a special way from time to time. For example, a tastefully set table, with a decorative centerpiece can make a meal a very memorable event.
There's no need to overdo it either - you just need to find the right combination of materials and objects that go well with the rest of the furniture. Check out some of the ideas below:
Table decorated in rustic style
Simple but beautiful: a vintage-styled wooden tool box can hold plant pots, and will be easy to put onto and take off of a dining table, for example.
Simplicity and taste
Basic materials and even everyday objects: on the empty table, when not in use, a table centerpiece like this is a decoration that helps to add elegance to your home.
Paper and imagination
What if you used a decorated strip of paper rather than a "normal" fabric table runner? With white paper, you can paint/draw on any designs you like!
Centerpiece for all seasons
A wicker basket with low sides, or something similar: this can be the staging base for many decorative creations.
Decorate the table with things you have at home
A simple cutting board could become the base for condiments, decorative objects and more!
Buffet ideas
If you have a large, sturdy tray - perhaps with feet - you can use it as a place to neatly set out your tableware: diners can then help themselves to whatever they need!
Still life, with panache
Fruit or vegetable compositions are one of the most popular decorations around, but it doesn't mean that you have to use real fruit. Even artificial versions are very attractive.
Original recycling
There are many objects that, when cleaned and reconditioned, can become centrepieces - especially if they are long and narrow and can act as a table runner.
Flowers will never be the wrong choice
