Who said Christmas decorating had to be all about green and red? From succulents to understated candles as far as the eye can see, plenty of ivy, an exposed wooden tabletop and printed menus are enough to pull together a little rustic charm. Be sure to opt for neutral colours and a molten touch via some textured cutlery. 

2. Alpine chic

From pinecones to a crafty reindeer motive here and there, an alpine theme is a great way to decorate a Christmas table setting. Stay on the stylish side of this look with a touch of gingham and some DIY placemats made from tree stumps. Don’t forget to add some candlelight for an ambient light.

3. Classic Christmas

Classic Christmas decorations do not mean you have to go overkill on Santas and snowmen. Keep Christmas chic with a white canvas to work with via your tablecloth and add a healthy smattering of red and green with a floral centerpiece. To give your Christmas table setting a classic (but stylish) edge, consider playing with typography and traditional Christmas words and phrase such as jolly, yuletide, peace on earth and so on. For a personal touch, you could bake some cookies or chocolates in Christmas-y icons and add these to each place setting.

4. Understated elegance

If you like to pare things back, this elegantly understated look is the perfect Christmas in July table decorating idea for you. Opt for your simple crockery and furniture and then let one Christmas decoration, like the simple branch hung above the table with a few tonal baubles, do the talking.
