Dining Room Christmas Decor Ideas

Run a low centerpiece down the middle: never tall enough to block sight lines. Layer a runner, candlesticks under 10 inches, fresh or faux greenery, and small ornaments scattered between.

Wrap a garland around the chain and drape a second across the bottom in a soft U shape. Add hanging glass ornaments at varied lengths for movement and sparkle.

Below 10 inches if guests will sit at the table, so eye contact across the table stays clear. Save tall arrangements for the buffet or sideboard.
