Now is the time to bring out the fancy dishware and cutlery. Think glitzy gold and jewel-tone blue – such a stellar combo that adds richness. Incorporate dishes in varying heights, like this two-tier dessert server from HomeSense.

Forage your backyard or visit a nursery or flower shop for natural accents like pinecones, fir, evergreen and birch to weave into your table design this holiday. For a natural feel, tie pieces of the greenery using raffia or burlap. And place evergreen cuttings into vases; shiny copper or another glossy surface is a seasonal choice.
