The holidays are an opportunity to celebrate family, friends, and good food, however, it can also be stressful when it comes to hosting the festivities. So I've put together a list of how you can elevate your dinner this year as a host, and impress your guests so that you can focus on what's most important — the food.
➀ Spruce up your entryway décor.
Although the dinner table is the focal point, your front door and entryway are what set the overall mood of the home, and are your guests' first impression. Buy a festive welcome mat and a fresh wreath for the front door, and dedicate a space for guests' coats and shoes.
➁ Decide on a color scheme.
Do you have china you need to dust off? If not, Target, Walmart, and even Amazon have some great, inexpensive pieces that can add a pop of color and elevate the table setting. Or, keep the dinnerware simple, and decorate it with a particular color scheme or pattern!
➂ Add a statement centerpiece.
Beautiful table settings are key to any holiday celebration. A great centerpiece can uplift the entire dining room and set the overall mood. Pro tip: work with your local flower shop to decorate with seasonal blooms. Another great option is to use glass pillars with candles to create a cozier mood.
➃ Beautify the table.
Add a tablecloth, runner, or fun placemats. Coordinate with cloth napkins and some festive napkin rings. Don't forget holiday place cards! You can make them extra special by adding a small note to each table setting.
➄ Cozy up your living room.
Since this is the spot everyone usually migrates to after dinner, prepare your living with subtle touches, such as a vase of fresh flowers and a few pumpkins placed around as décor. Layer in extra pillows, blankets, and throws that will make your home feel extra cozy.
