This festive tabletop takes cues from the room, and its whimsical wallpaper makes the space feel like you’re dining in a beautifully wrapped package. The red upholstered dining chairs pair well with ruby-hued floral accents throughout the room.

Pomegranates are the key ingredient to this jolly tablescape. The vibrant woodland berry-themed salad plates are paired with a red-and-white-striped dinner napkin, a crimson dinner plate rimmed with gold, and a neutral charger to create an elegant, layered aesthetic. Elevate the look by placing a handful of real pomegranates around the table’s centerpiece and place settings.

Having a serving station for your holiday gatherings helps to keep guests out of the busy kitchen. A drink station is dressed up with cheerful bottle-brush trees and a stately arrangement of fresh paperwhite bulbs.
