Rustic Chic Christmas Table

Last weekend we hosted my husband’s family for Christmas and I wanted to share the table I put together for the gathering. All my Christmas decor this year has been black and white with subtle pops of red and green so that is what I stuck with! I created this simple Rustic Chic Christmas Table using a combination of black and white dishes mixed with greenery, pinecones and a pop of copper.

This look is really easy to recreate so let’s have a closer look!

When putting together tablescapes, it’s all about layering! I started with this natural table runner that I actually flipped over and used the backside since it was plain. And then added these basic woven round black placemats from Anko for a contrast.

I continue to layer with my fav off-white ceramic dinner plates that we use daily, and these more natural ceramic salad plates. I added a little rustic charm to the place setting with a black napkin, wood napkin ring, sprig of faux berries and my fav copper twig flatware.

The centerpiece took only about 5 minutes, I picked up a few pine branches from Michaels and then added a few more pinecones and some tapered candles for the centerpiece.

Last year I went with a completely different look with soft creams and golds and a few pops of cranberry and the year before was another black and white table but more Scandinavian style.

My goal with every room is to make it feel warm, i My goal with every room is to make it feel warm, inviting and extra cozy. It’s often the final finishing touches that truly transform the vibe of a room. I picked up some final styling pieces from @wayfair , I am obsessed with both side tables. They are both statement pieces. And the personal photos, candle, heart trays and leather pillows are why bring the warmth and personal touches into this space.

I finally found the perfect family and pet-friendl I finally found the perfect family and pet-friendly sofa that passes the designer test! This is the 5-Seat Modular Corner Sectional from @7thavenueco in the color Oatmeal Beige. We ordered it in the extra-deep seat option for ultimate coziness. The material is water-repellent, stain-resistant and you can also throw all covers in the wash!

We cannot say enough great things about this sofa, we all love it and just sink into it. It definitely passes the family test. Plus, it truly is gorgeous. It looks very chic. 

Comment SOFA and I’ll send you the link to this exact one!
