Decorate your Christmas table
Is your Christmas dessert ready? Then it is time to turn your table into a beautiful festive table. The starting point is a tablecloth or a table runner. You can choose a red paper tablecloth, white and red plastic tablecloths and table runners in many versions: with or made of gold sequins, with golden fir trees, in dark green, red or sage, the sage runner "sparkling Christmas", the "Douceur d'hiver" design, a sand-coloured muslin runner, a natural cotton runner and one in white cotton gauze. If you like a rustic style, go for the jute table runners in 15, 26 or 52 cm widths.
Ideas and inspiration for your Christmas table
Before you shop, it pays to decide on a colour theme. Four styles work especially well:
- Classic red and gold: a red runner or tablecloth, napkins with golden stars, gold candles and the gold "Merry Christmas" garland. Golden star confetti scattered between the plates adds sparkle.
- Natural and Nordic: a jute or sand muslin runner, sand napkins, a 20 x 2 cm wooden slice as a candle base, wooden Christmas decorations and little house place cards in wood or cotton paper.
- Green and wintry: a sage or dark green runner, placemats and napkin rings made of Christmas foliage with berries, and holly napkins "Joyeux Noël".
- Fun for children: Santa napkins, small star paper plates and snowman bauble place cards make the kids' table a highlight.
How to: a festive table in five steps
- Lay the base: tablecloth first, then the runner down the centre or across each place setting. Two narrow jute runners layered on top of each other look particularly elegant.
- Plates and cutlery: star plates or small star paper plates for dessert and aperitifs, plus the wooden cutlery set when you want to keep things easy.
- Fold the napkins: fir tree "Merry Christmas" napkins, white or sand napkins, held together with a reindeer napkin ring or a piece of 5 cm jute ribbon.
- Add place cards: reindeer, Christmas wreath, "Noël" or wooden house place cards show every guest their seat and make a lovely keepsake.
- Light and sparkle: finally add the gold candles (10 pieces) or the white/gold Christmas candles (8 pieces) and finish with confetti.

Combining with baking and packaging
A beautifully laid table and homemade treats belong together. Arrange your Christmas cookies on a star plate in the centre of the table, or place a small bag of cookies next to each guest's place card. The Christmas tree curtain turns a wall or window into an atmospheric photo backdrop for the family picture. And so that your culinary creations also make an impression as gifts, take a look at festive packaging for your baked goods.
Buying guide: what to look out for
Measure your table first: a runner should hang over each end by about 15 to 25 cm. For a wide table the 52 cm jute runner is ideal, for narrow tables or as individual place runners choose the 15 or 26 cm versions. Plan one more napkin per guest than you think you need, especially when dessert follows. Paper and plastic tablecloths are practical with children and large groups, while cotton, muslin or jute runners look more refined. Choose no more than two main colours plus one metallic shade such as gold, so the table stays calm and elegant.
Frequently asked questions about Christmas table decoration
Which colours suit a Christmas table?
Red, green and gold are the classics. Natural tones such as sand, jute and sage look modern and calm, while white with gold is especially festive.
How wide should a table runner be?
About one third of the table width. On a 90 cm table, a runner of around 26 to 30 cm works well; to replace a tablecloth, choose the 52 cm version.
How do I set a Christmas table for children?
Use a paper tablecloth, star paper plates, Santa napkins and snowman place cards. Everything stays cheerful and easy to clean.
Can I write on the place cards?
Yes, that is what they are made for. Write the names with a fine pen and place them on each plate or next to the glass.
What does a complete festive table need?
A runner or tablecloth, plates, napkins with rings, place cards, candles and an accent such as confetti or a garland.
