Setting the table doesn’t have to be a chore. Having friends and family over for the holidays gives you a chance to let everyone know your home design skills are just as sharp as your fashion skills. Here are a few easy ways to have the most chic holiday table in the neighborhood.

Match it up: Sure, this is a basic tip, but making sure all your plates and flatware match is the easiest way to get a cohesive look for your table. If you’ve been using mismatched cups or plates, make the investment and get a matching set. Easy!

Add a centerpiece. You don’t have to be a professional florist to create a gorgeous centerpiece for the table! Daisies and carnations are easy to find, easy to arrange and look absolutely adorable. Of course, a centerpiece doesn’t have to have flowers. Fill a wide, deep vase with foil-wrapped candy, colorful citrus fruits, or multi-colored seashells.

Pick whimsical table accessories: If you’re worried your plain white plates are too boring for the holidays, worry not! A table can accessorize just like a fashionista can. Try a table runner in gleaming golds or rich reds for a lovely wintery look, and add fun butter dishes, cream pourers, or espresso cups.

Impress your guests with some easy origami: Origami napkins sound like a major undertaking, but some shapes only look hard. We love this blooming rose design that will get your visitors talking about your superior hostessing skills.

Write it out: A handwritten place card adds a homey touch to any holiday table. Get out your best pen or marker and write out everyone’s name on a card (or get a friend with beautiful handwriting to help).

Not only did I fall in love with this necklace, but the customer service is outstanding! The necklace was the perfect size and it goes with everything! The icing on the cake was the customer service definitely will be purchasing again!
