Christmas tablecloth — the foundation of your holiday table setting

The holiday table is a special place where we gather with loved ones to share a meal, exchange wishes, and give gifts. Remember, tableware is just one part of the festive table setting. Christmas tablecloth is the foundation of your arrangement, where dishes and decorations will be displayed. This is where you’ll set the table for Christmas Eve—plates, bowls, cups, or serving platters. Make sure your holiday table decor perfectly matches the rest of your interior. The color scheme of your textiles should complement your Christmas tree, centerpiece, or dinnerware.

Christmas tablecloth — white or colorful?

When choosing a tablecloth for the holidays, match its color scheme to your festive decorations. Christmas tablecloths can be either white or colorful. You can opt for classic elegance or go for decorative patterns and holiday motifs. A white Christmas tablecloth is timeless and exceptionally elegant. A light tablecloth is a perfect choice for lovers of classic style. Choose a smooth, white tablecloth or a subtle, shimmering pattern on a white background.

Red Christmas tablecloth with embellishments is a unique decorative element that highlights the festive yet cozy character of your table. Elegant Christmas tablecloths adorned with holiday motifs will enhance the joyful atmosphere of your celebrations. You can choose a Christmas tablecloth featuring patterns with Santas, reindeer, snowflakes, or stars. Beautiful tablecloths will bring a unique festive spirit to your home.

Which table runner and napkins should you choose to go with your Christmas tablecloth?

A Christmas table runner can be an alternative to a tablecloth for Christmas Eve. You can also place it on top of a festive tablecloth to create a striking and cohesive decoration. Meanwhile, Christmas napkins will look beautiful at each guest’s place setting. Discover how you can combine a tablecloth with a Christmas runner and napkins.

Highlight the layers — If you’re placing several different textiles on the table, it’s worth emphasizing the layers. The table runner and festive topper should stand out against the tablecloth.
Contrasting colors — A plain tablecloth with a patterned runner? Or maybe the other way around—a colorful tablecloth with solid accessories? Contrasting shades and patterns will create a unique visual effect.
Uniform arrangement — Want to go for a monochromatic look? You can choose a Christmas tablecloth, runner, and napkins all in the same color. Opt for a matching set or mix textiles made from different materials in the same shade.
A dominant holiday accent — Choose a single decorative theme to repeat across your textiles. It could be a table runner and tablecloth with a red-and-green plaid pattern, poinsettias, Santa Claus, or festive sweets.

How to layer a table setting? Step-by-step guide

Unique tablecloths and runners in various patterns and colors create beautiful arrangements on the table. However, it’s important to first check how to lay them out properly. Discover how to elegantly arrange a tablecloth, runner, and napkins on your Christmas Eve table.

First, lay out the tablecloth. The tablecloth should be larger than the other elements. A large tablecloth should reach the edges of the table or hang slightly over them.
Place the table runner in the center. When laid lengthwise, the runner should create a striking, decorative strip along the table.
Place a napkin at each place setting. You can lay it flat as a base under the plate, or fold it into a decorative roll or fan shape.
Complete the arrangement with festive decorations. Place a candlestick, centerpiece, or other decorative elements in the center of the table to complement the textiles.
