6 chic holiday table setting ideas

I'm quite content letting the foodies in my family take control in the kitchen over the holidays. So long as I'm given free reign over the dining table, that is. I just love the challenge presented by an empty dining table. It's a blank canvas that can go in virtually any design direction, and you don't have to spend a bundle to create new and exciting place settings every festive season. Take these tablescapes, for instance. Although all of the merch was sourced from a single shop -- HomeSense -- the table is treated to six totally different festive looks:  

1) SEASONAL SPICE: Here's that gold flatware you've been looking for... And it's only $50 for the 20-piece set! Photography courtesy of HomeSense.

2) CHRISTMAS CONTRAST: One of fall's biggest trends in both home and fashion -- the pairing of black and white -- transitions quite beautifully to a festive tabletop. Photography courtesy of HomeSense.

3) BLUE CHRISTMAS: I'm a sucker for blue transferware dishes, and this is a fab lesson in how effortlessly they lend themselves to mixing-and-matching. Photography courtesy of HomeSense.

4) TRADITIONAL ELEGANCE: Laying a table runner widthwise across the table is an inspired alternative to placemats. Photography courtesy of HomeSense

     

5) RUSTIC LUXE: How about repurposing a handsome tray as a placemat? Photography courtesy of HomeSense.

6) MOD SCANDINAVIAN: A traditional Scandinavian holiday palette gets a contemporary boost courtesy of square dishes and a funky polka-dot napkin. Photography courtesy of HomeSense.
