Imagine the scene: a beautifully decorated dining table, bathed in warm light, laden with festive treats, and surrounded by loved ones. With Christmas and the festive season just around the corner, many of us are already planning (or planning to attend!) our year-end gatherings with friends, family, and loved ones.
One way to take your Christmas gathering to the next level is through a thoughtfully-styled dining table – allowing your holiday meal to take centre stage, as it deserves. Our guide will explore creative ways to incorporate Christmas decorations and stylish tableware from Base Piece into your tablescapes, enhancing the festive ambiance throughout your home.
From Chinese New Year to Hari Raya to Deepavali to Christmas, the dining table holds a special significance across all sorts of festive occasions and holidays in Singapore. It serves as the central gathering point for sharing meals, exchanging stories, and creating lasting memories that linger even after the holiday decorations have been put away. So it’s no surprise that getting your dining table right is key to setting the stage for a memorable celebration.
A well-chosen dining table not only provides ample space for your guests but also sets the tone for the overall ambiance. Extendable dining tables like the Carment Sintered Stone Top Extendable Dining Table are great for smaller spaces, with the option to comfortably accommodate extra guests or serving bowls laden with seasonal dishes.

If you can be generous with space, longer options like the Kay Quartz Top Dining Table 2M with Henry Chairs add a luxurious touch to any dining space. The quartz tabletop grounds its surroundings with a natural stone touch, adding an organic flair to the room. Dining room sets with a bench also offer versatility in furniture placement and styling.
While dining room furniture provides the foundation, tableware plays a crucial role in creating an immersive festive ambiance.
This Christmas, consider incorporating tableware from Base Piece, a brand known for its sophisticated, sustainable, and aesthetically pleasing designs. Their ceramic plates, made with recycled clay, and recycled glassware add a touch of eco-conscious elegance to your Christmas table setting.
For centrepieces, consider a festive floral arrangement with red and gold accents, a cluster of pillar candles in varying heights, or a decorative bowl filled with pinecones and ornaments. The Freya Cream Ceramic Vase makes for an interesting dining table décor holder thanks to its fan-like base, turning even the simplest centrepieces into works of modern art.
Soften your tablescape with tablecloths, runners, and placemats in festive colours and patterns. Think rich reds, emerald greens, or classic golds to evoke the Christmas spirit—or lean into the festive cheese with patterns featuring reindeer antlers, mistletoe berries, or Santa hats. It’ll bring a smile to your guests’ faces and liven up the party in a thematic way.
Finally, opt for a personalised touch through festive napkin rings, place cards with handwritten names, or small gifts for each guest. Scatter some Christmas ornaments or sprigs of holly around the table for an extra touch of holiday cheer, or consider gifting each guest their own take-home tableware like the Shell Dip Dish (Cloud Grey). That way they’ll get to bring home a souvenir of the quality time spent together.
Now that the table’s been set, let’s look at lighting to enhance the overall ambiance of your dining space. Warm LED lights or strategically-placed mood lighting can create a cosy and intimate atmosphere, while brighter, cooler white lights or fairy lights can add a more vibrant and festive touch.
Consider how lighting interacts with the colours and materials of your dining table décor too. Warm lighting can accentuate the richness of wooden furniture and create a welcoming glow, while cooler lighting can highlight the sparkle of glassware and metallic accents.
