right style
Find decorations for your dining table
For an attractive and coordinated dining table, match the materials and colours with your existing interior decor. Use different materials, such as ceramic, glass or linen, to embellish your table. You can add large vases to your table decoration too, but place them at the end of the table! For weddings or anniversaries, you can also decorate a white table with lavish bouquets of flowers to create the perfect atmosphere.
The right dining table decoration for every occasion
Tailor your dining or kitchen table decoration to the occasion. For special moments such as birthdays, anniversaries or weddings, choose gold-plated or silver cutlery and stylish placemats in understated colours. You can also match your table decorations to the season, with bright colours such as yellow and orange in summer, a rustic look for autumn and Christmas spices and branches in winter.
The blossoming season
Springtime dining table decoration
Decorate your spring table with tulips, daffodils and other early bloomers. Add the finishing touches to your spring dining table with light-coloured placemats and candles. The Spring Fantasy placemats or the beautifully detailed Spring Awakening vases will further enhance the look.
How can I decorate my table for Christmas?
Use natural accessories to create a festive look on your Christmas table. Fir branches, nuts, cinnamon sticks, oranges and an Advent wreath will set the right mood at your table. Complete the effect with decorative accessories such as the Toy's Delight La Boule, the Toy's Fantasy Gobelin placemat or Christmas table decorations.
What do you need on your table?
Essential items for the perfect decoration
Carefully coordinate decorations on your dining room table for a flawless look. If you are decorating a wooden table, avoid creating an overall impression that is either too minimalist or overly cluttered. Follow our table decoration tips and complete the effect with hurricane lamps, LED fairy lights or table sprinkles such as hearts, stars and leaves, depending on the occasion. Atmospheric light also works well with dining table decorations in black.
