6 Trending Table Decor Ideas for Christmas 2025

Words by Bridie Newman

Your Christmas table says more than you might think. Beyond being the stage for your festive feasts, it’s a reflection of your personality – a canvas for creativity. Our in-store styling experts bring this to life, curating spectacular displays in the Home & Furniture department throughout the year. Drawing on the latest decor trends and their encyclopaedic knowledge of dining and tableware brands, they’ve created six themes to inspire your Christmas 2025 tablescapes.

An opulent reinvention of a classic festive hue, the vibrant Gilded Greens theme starts with a painterly statement tablecloth, paired with matching plates from Bernardaud’s Porcelain Albertine collection. High-shine accents like polished gold-toned cutlery, candlesticks and glassware complement the look, while oversized velvet bows – the must-have motif for Christmas 2025 – add an elegant touch tied to the back of dining chairs.

Channel the welcoming charm of the coveted Nancy Meyer aesthetic with a fireside table setting as warm as the atmosphere. Deep crimson and burgundy tones sit beautifully alongside antique-style and modern dappled glassware, romantic bouquets and glowing candlelight. Familiar toile linens – a growing trend on TikTok – like this Maison Margaux tablecloth, complement warm walnut woods and gold accents that glisten like embers.

Introducing ‘kitschmas’, the unapologetically bold, maximalist Christmas trend of 2025. But kitsch doesn’t mean garish. The grown-up take mixes candy-cane stripes, sugar-plum hues, unexpected crockery – hello Bordallo Pinheiro fruit plates – checkerboard prints, oversized candlesticks and nostalgic garlands. It shouldn’t all work together, but it does – proof that unbridled joy is the ultimate luxury.

For minimalists with a love of quiet opulence, this Yuletide table is designed to glow – literally. Polspotten dramatic golden drip candle holders in varying heights bring bold radiance, while ornate crystalware catches the flickering candlelight. The palette remains simple, but the effect is striking.

Nostalgia is in, and this trend turns tableware into escapism. Revisit the Christmases of your childhood, filled with happy family memories, and embrace the season’s sentimental charm. Think Ralph Lauren Christmas with warm woods, a red, green and gold colour palette, and decor destined to be lovingly passed down like scalloped-edge Gien plates and ornate Ralph Lauren Home candle holders.

Amid the twinkling lights and merry tunes of the season, let this elegant table offer a moment of serene sophistication. A French blue tablecloth from Alexandre Turpault and cobalt crockery from LSA International set the tone, while conversation-sparking ornaments – like Simon Pearce glass Christmas trees – and icy silver napkin rings, place card holders and candlesticks complete a refined winter wonderland.
