We’re entering prime eating season—aka the holidays. But, there’s no reason your big family meal has to feel same-old. This year, our talented designers created two very different tablescape looks that will add whole new flavor of style to your celebration.

You can go all-out, or use these looks to inspire a few smaller purchases that will pump your whole meal up a notch.

If warm, homey, and casual is your style, our farmhouse tablescape is perfect for you. We layered warm tones onto this table with bronze accent plates and gold chargers. Earthy textures like rough-hewn bronze keep things informal, but the metallics add a bit of sparkle! A wooden centerpiece can hold festive ornaments or even fresh-cut greenery. This is a family style meal, so of course we used tons of great serving pieces to make all the delicious food look gorgeous. A final, natural touch of eucalyptus makes this table feel welcoming!

We think this would look great in any space, but our farmhouse tablescape is perfect for you if you have lots of rustic wood and natural finishes in your home.

Like a sparkly dress for the holiday party, this fun and glamorous tablescape is a holiday classic. We layered a metallic garland with touches of fresh baby’s breath to add plenty of dimension to a simple tabletop. Patterned china feels special, while an accent ornament on each plate is a fun way to give your guests a little party favor. Mixing metallic is totally allowed, and this table proves it. Accented with fresh white linens and shiny gold servingware, this table feels sophisticated but a little playful!

This look is for you if you prefer Mariah Carey to Bing Crosby, and if you love the sparkle and shine of a true white Christmas.
