Layer Your Place Settings

Layering may seem overwhelming, but if you take it one step at a time it couldn’t be easier. In our mock-up above we have four main layers: 

  • Napkin
  • Charger plate
  • Dining plate
  • Plate toppers.

Let’s break each one down.

1. Napkin

Napkins are a complete necessity! What fabric you choose is overall your choice, but our polyester and satin napkins are best sellers. 

Using quality fabric napkins means you can incorporate showing them off in your place setting. We used a simple hanging fold in our mock-up above and dazzled it up with a rhinestone pin. Don’t be afraid to create an intricate napkin fold or adorn your napkin with napkin clips to maximize its full decor potential.

For a peppermint-themed table setting, infuse creativity by folding your napkins into candy cane-inspired shapes. 

Start by using emerald green napkins as the base, adding a vibrant twist to the traditional peppermint red and white colors, along with quality napkin rings. 

This approach adds a playful and festive touch to your Christmas table settings, perfectly complementing the peppermint-themed Christmas decorations and improving the overall aesthetic appeal of the setup.

2. Charger Plate

In addition to napkins, charger plates are the backbone of every place setting. Not only are they a major decor element, but they’re also highly functional. Charger plates can save the day by catching spills so your table linens stay safe.

With such a statement piece you’ll want to choose a charger that matches your utensil color or stands out as a huge decor element. Luckily, we have a variety of charger plates to choose from in different textures and materials.

3. Dining Plate

Easily the most straightforward part of assembling a place setting!

If you’re hosting a small affair at your home, you can use what you have on hand or pick up solid white china that will match any decor you choose.

If you’re having a larger event, opt for high-quality plasticware for a gorgeous touch that won’t break the bank. We used our silver classic plastic plates in our peppermint Christmas dining table above.

Improve your Christmas table setup by including a vibrant red satin table runner or a charming mint green tablecloth. These additions infuse the peppermint Christmas decor theme with elegance and charm. 

Create a stunning contrast by layering the tablecloth with the red satin table runner, instantly improving the visual impact of your table setting. Perfect for any Christmas table setup, these choices add depth and sophistication, improving the peppermint Christmas table while establishing a visually captivating ambiance for your guests to enjoy.

4. Plate Toppers

A dining plate may be the easiest part of a setup, but plate toppers are without a doubt the most fun! In our mockup, we accented each place setting with a gift box and peppermint accent to tie our theme together. The top of a plate is an area where you can let your imagination run wild. 

A few of our favorite ideas include menus, intricate napkin folds, favor boxes or bags, and finally place cards. Make sure each element ties in with your color palette or theme because keeping your overall aesthetic is key to successful decor.

Enhance With Small Decor Elements

Small decor may be compact but it will provide a huge impact on the overall look of your table. The main focus of a tablescape is usually a floral centerpiece, but that alone may make your table seem bare due to the size of the table. Depending on your own personal aesthetic, small decor can include candle holders, crystal accents, themed decor, and smaller floral accents.

Symmetrically layer each element to the left and right of your main centerpiece for easy setup. To demonstrate, our peppermint Christmas table features all-white winter trees, polar bears, and acrylic crystal candle holders. Your local craft store will be a rather great resource for additional small touches! 

Including real peppermint candies in your holiday table decor can bring delightful originality and a sweet aroma. It can also take the look of your Christmas tree to new heights. 

DIY peppermint decorations give that special ambiance. Crafted materials with hot glue such as the Artificial peppermint decorations offer longevity. Pair these with complementary artificial greenery for a lasting and visually appealing decor. 

Use Multiple Textures

Multiple textures may seem scary, but in reality, they’re the spice of a tablescape. Think about the last time you saw a dining room with beige furniture, beige carpet, and beige walls. Boring!

Table settings are no exception to decor rules. In our mock-up above we incorporated seven different textures: glitz sequin, satin, sheer voile, gathered lamour satin, rhinestones, glass, and acrylic crystals.

The key to textures is making sure everything is in moderation and perfectly placed. If you’re new to setting up a tablescape, keep your elements symmetrical and extremely bold textures to a minimum. Easy linen to make bold is a napkin because they’re inexpensive, exists in a variety of colors and fabrics such as red and green, and can be a huge focal point depending on your napkin fold.
