Whether you’re in the camp of using your dining room as a “flex room” or as the more traditional formal application during the holidays, it is a room that continues to come to life during holiday gatherings. It’s the one room in the house that you can get away with showing off your style, whether it be a touch of glam, a burst of color, crystal, silver and/or gilded accessories working together to not only shape the mood for elaborate festivities that bring joy to a special occasion or to celebrate holiday delight with the important people in your life.

Elaborate is a relative term when it comes to designing a space. A better term that is more mainstream that I prefer is the art of creating a “casual elegant welcoming space” that offers emotional space to actually relax and enjoy the room. What follows are a range of holiday tables from transitional to classic with a touch of farm style southern charm that are intended to inspire and hopefully embellish your dining room decorations!

Happy holidays! For more inspiration please visit Farmdale Festivities.
