1. Elegant tablecloth with special jacquard patterns

• Choose the right size : Make sure the tablecloth fits your table well and has enough overhang to create a nice drape. We recommend 20-30 cm overhang.
• Add natural elements : To complete the look, you can use fresh fir branches, candles, and small decorative elements like velvet cones , Christmas balls, or cinnamon sticks as Christmas table decorations . These natural elements harmonize perfectly with the elegance of the cotton tablecloth.
• Combine with matching napkins : Complement the tablecloth with matching linen napkins. You can fold them artfully or present them in a beautiful velvet bow.

2. Charming table runners and decorative elements

Another easy way to add a French touch to your Christmas table is to use table runners and color-coordinated decorations. A beautiful linen table runner can serve as a focal point while complementing the tablecloth.

• Choose a special table runner : Choose a table runner with a festive pattern, such as deer, poinsettias, or nature motifs. Place it in the center of the table to create a clear focal point. We recommend that the runner hang 20 cm above the table. Another tip: Table runners can be placed lengthwise or crosswise on your table. Lengthwise is great for decoration, while crosswise serves as a base for your placemats.
• Opt for color-coordinated table decorations : Complement the decorations with candles and vases of varying heights. These create a warm and inviting atmosphere and perfectly complement the textiles. According to interior designer Sandra Berger, this adds interest to the table.
• Combine with matching napkins : If you're looking for a sustainable alternative to paper napkins this year, consider adding 100% linen napkins. This will surprise and delight your guests. Choose napkins in matching colors or patterns to create a cozy atmosphere.
• Show off your napkins . Choose a matching velvet bow or napkin ring. A mix of materials will give your table an appealing look.
