In this article we will tell and show by examples how to create a stylish themed decor of a New Year's table.

All about the table setting for the New Year-2023

Style

On the Internet you can find a variety of photos of the table decor for the holidays. Before serving your own, you should understand what style is close to you.

Classic

In this case, the classics are understood as the most traditional images that are associated with a magnificent festive feast. Here you can not be afraid of the abundance of jewelry, multilayer textiles, the brilliance of glass, gold and silver surfaces. Do you have heirloom porcelain or a crystal service that usually gathers dust behind the glass of the sideboard? It's time to get them out and use them!

The main markers of the classic design:

Scandi

Scandinavian style is popular not only in interior design, but also in decoration, including thematic.

This direction is characterized by brevity, a little cold restraint, calm colors and an appeal to natural motives. Scandi is suitable for those who do not plan a lavish feast, like to make New Year's decor on the table with their own hands or just appreciate the Nordic aesthetics.

For serving in Scandinavian style, you will need:

Minimalism

Minimalism is another popular trend that has been confidently staying in the top trends for several years.

This approach to festive table decor will appeal to those who adhere to the philosophy of reasonable restraint and conscious consumption, and also simply do not like the abundance of bright decorations. At the same time, concise does not mean boring at all, even the most concise composition can look interesting if it is competently assembled. 

Features of minimalistic serving:

Vintage

Finally, another style for those who prefer cozy solutions with a nostalgic touch to modern trends. 

Vintage also does not lose relevance, but it is important to use it correctly. The main characters, of course, will be antique products: from dishes to tablecloths or napkins, embroidered by hand. If you have a grandmother's inheritance, be sure to use it. The general concept of serving can be closer to the lush classics or more thematic, for example, with a departure into Soviet retro, which looks especially relevant in the New Year context. Faceted glasses, crystal salad bowls, wicker paths, candlesticks made of aged metal, etc. will be appropriate.

Colors

When the general concept is selected, you need to create a palette. In many ways, it will be formed based on style, but in any case, shades can be selected according to your tastes.

Traditional

The main Christmas colors are red, green and white. They are often complemented with gold or silver. If you like direct associations and such a palette best creates a festive mood, then use it. In addition, themed tableware, textiles and decor are most often produced in such colors, so it will not be difficult to find the right ones. To make the whole composition look interesting and natural, choose deep shades and add as many different textures as possible: needles, ribbed surface of cones, light shine of porcelain, different fabric structure, metal and wood, crystal glasses, etc.

Neutral

The basic palette is suitable for any style: from English classics to minimalism and even eclecticism. This color scheme not only looks laconic and noble, but also becomes an ideal background for beautiful dishes and accent decor. It can be made in the same shades or, conversely, create a contrast: for example, when serving a white table, dark green spruce branches, red berries or orange rings of dried oranges will look interesting. If you want to withstand monochrome, then choose all the serving elements in shades of the same color, playing with textures and shapes.

Non - standard

Finally, no one says that the Christmas theme is necessarily a combination of green, red and white. The New Year's decor on the table with candles and other decorations in non-standard colors looks very unusual and impressive. For example, pastel colors with pink or blue as the leading shade are especially popular now. And the latter, along with blue and black, is considered one of the colors of the coming year, because its symbol is a Water Rabbit. You can go even further and, for example, choose deep purple, rich yellow or even neon tones for decoration.

What to put on the table for decoration

Now let's take a step-by-step look at how to plan the table setting at home: where to start and what points to consider.

Textile

Professional decorators advise to start table decoration with the selection of textiles. It is he who sets the tone of the whole composition. First of all, you need to decide whether it will be a neutral background for brighter objects or will become a full-fledged accent.

You can put a bed on the table:

Tableware

Dishes and appliances should be convenient to use and suitable for a festive menu.

Depending on the overall style and the number of guests, you can use one set (it will turn out succinctly and uniformly) or assemble a composition from different sets. The latter option looks more interesting and original, but requires a certain amount of observation, so as not to get a set of disparate items that do not fit together and spoil the overall look.

Besides the appearance, the location is important. Whole books on table etiquette have been written, in which the location of each object is regulated: from a bowl for washing fingers to a dessert spoon. Of course, such deep knowledge is not necessary for a family holiday, and, most likely, you will not have such a complicated set of appliances, plates and glasses.

Here are some basic rules that are worth considering:

Analyze the menu in advance and understand if you need any additions: for example, a plate for bones, saucers, a pie dish, a bread knife, etc. Think about where all this will stand, whether items are needed for each guest or a couple of three will be enough for all guests.

Decor

Finally, the most creative part of the serving process is the selection of decorations.

The classical approach to the design assumes the presence of a central composition. It doesn't matter if you adhere to minimalism or want to create an elegant design with lots of details, you will need a focus point that will "collect" all the elements of the festive serving.

The composition may consist of:

In addition, you can supplement the serving with any other little things: from miniature disco balls to nameplates for guests and toys, as shown in the photo below. The main thing is that the decorations do not interfere with eating, drinking, serving and taking away dishes. When using natural elements, make sure that they are isolated, and, for example, the needles will not crumble into the guest's glass.
