How to Decorate Your Dining Table Q: In magazines, I always see tables set for a full dinner. It looks great, but how can I decorate my table in an everyday look when it’s not in use?
It’s not practical (or normal) to have your table set for a formal dinner every day.
I believe wood tables were made to be seen, so first remove your tablecloth and protective cover if you use one. Place a rattan mat or coloured, woven runner along the middle of the table and then place fresh flowers or a live plant at the centre.
Get creative with your vase or vessel. Invest in a special Martha Sturdy resin vase or use a beautiful bowl as a container for a multi-stemmed orchid surrounded by reindeer moss.
Save the candlesticks for the formal affairs, but flank your centrepiece with a couple votives and light them for a little flicker at night.
