This post shares simple holiday tablescape ideas using affordable tableware from Wayfair!
I can’t believe the holiday season is here already! Did this year go by way too fast for anyone else?! I’m honestly feeling a little behind on decorating for the holidays, compared to the rest of the “Instagram world” … so it felt good to work on this Simple Holiday Tablescape Idea this week!

Simple Holiday Tablescape Idea
I wanted to put together a Holiday Tablescape that felt elegant and classic, but also keep it simple so the table didn’t feel too cluttered. Because of the size of our Breakfast Nook, we built our DIY Concrete Dinging Table to a custom size that fit the room and our DIY Built-In Banquette. It is a little narrow, so I like to keep the tablescape clean and simple. But, that doesn’t mean that it can’t be beautiful!
A little bit of simple holiday decor can go a long way on a table! The place settings themselves can take up so much room, so you really don’t need much on the rest of the table. Throw some gold candlesticks and a bit of seasonal greenery on top of a table runner and you’re good to go!
Almost all of the items used for this Holiday Tablescape are from Wayfair – they have so many beautiful and affordable tableware options to choose from! You really don’t have to spend a lot to create an elegant looking table for the holidays.
Neutral Patterned Dinnerware Set
Look for dinnerware sets in classic neutral colors, so they work throughout the year and with different color schemes. I absolutely love the mix of eclectic patterns on this Stoneware Dinnerware Set! Having two kids (and one more on the way!) it was important to me to find a dinnerware set that was practical, durable, and dishwasher safe. This set checked all the boxes while also being very affordable!
Durable Gold Flatware Set
I always wanted a set of gold flatware and am so excited I finally decided to get some! I’ve always worried that they wouldn’t hold up well, but this gold flatware set has been great so far! We have been using them and washing them in the dishwasher regularly and they still look perfect! I read through a ton of reviews before deciding on this set and am very happy with it so far. And the gold color is sooo pretty and perfect for the holidays! This flatware set also comes in black and a pretty copper color.
Beaded Glass Highball Glasses
The beaded glass highball glasses are my favorite part of the whole tablescape! I love the beaded detail – they look so elegant! They are sturdy and dishwasher safe as well. They come in a larger size and in a few different colors, too. I only ordered one set but am definitely going to order more because I love them so much!
Simple Holiday Centerpiece Ideas
For the center of the tablescape, I kept it pretty simple by using a plaid table runner, and layering a faux cedar garland and some gold candlesticks on top. As I mentioned, I wanted to keep it simple so the table didn’t feel too cluttered. There is nothing worse than creating a beautiful tablescape but then having your guests move things around so they are actually able to sit at the table with their food. Also because the place settings are so beautiful on their own, I didn’t need to add much more!
This cedar garland is so good! It is so real looking, and is not stiff at all so it drapes and bends really well, making it perfect for the table.
Add Lights for a Cozy Vibe!
My main focus was to add a cozy glow with the candlesticks, and I love to use battery powered fairy lights where ever I can during the holidays too. The added twinkle of the lights give that hygge vibe and really make the dining room feel warm and welcoming.
