Colors & themes: gold, green and natural
The most popular color combinations for the Christmas table are gold and green, often combined with natural materials such as linen, wood or pine greenery. Gold adds warmth and elegance, while green and white bring calm and freshness. This combination works perfectly with both classic and Scandinavian interior styles. By working within one color theme, you prevent the table from looking cluttered and create a stylish whole.
Atmosphere makers: candle holders and tiered stands
Differences in height give your table depth and elegance. A gold candle holder is perfect for adding warm light and creating a luxurious accent. Place several along the length of the table for a rhythmic and atmospheric effect. A gold tiered stand also works beautifully on a festively laid Christmas table. Use it to present snacks, desserts or decorations in a stylish way.
Green and natural accents
Natural materials bring warmth and balance to your table styling. A green garland along the length of the table creates a fresh and festive effect. You can combine it with subtle lights, small Christmas ornaments or wooden decorations for an extra warm look. Green also forms a beautiful contrast to gold and white.
Napkins & table decoration
Napkins are more than a practical addition: they add style to your table setting. Bloomingville napkins are a perfect match for a natural or Scandinavian Christmas style. Fold them elegantly or tie them with a simple ribbon or piece of twine for a refined effect. Add a small pine sprig or a little ornament for a personal touch if you like.
Christmas accessories as the finishing touch
The right accessories make your Christmas table truly come to life. Think of subtle ornaments, nutcrackers or shiny Christmas baubles. The Christmas accessories collection offers a wide range of styles and colors that you can combine perfectly with gold and green. Keep the overall look calm and coordinate colors and materials carefully for a stylish, harmonious appearance.
Inspiration and thematic styles
Popular themes for 2025 are Scandinavian minimalism, rustic coziness and classic gold-green. Each theme has its own charm. Scandinavian is calm and understated, rustic feels warm and cozy, and gold-green brings classic elegance. Work in layers: start with your base (tablecloth or runner), add greenery, place candle holders and tiered stands, and finish with accessories. That way, you build a festive Christmas table step by step.
