The classic red Christmas table
There is something truly special about a Christmas table set in shades of red. It feels warm, familiar and cosy, and the Christmas spirit almost comes naturally.
There is room for candlelight, beautiful fabric napkins and little homemade details. And of course, for long dinners, good conversations and everyone you look forward to gathering around the table.
Set the table for cosy hours together
The classic Christmas table doesn't have to look a certain way. Maybe it's the red tablecloth that comes out year after year. Maybe it's the fabric napkins, the candlelight or the little homemade details that make the difference.
Start with what you love and build from there. Play with shades of red, beautiful patterns and different materials, and feel free to add something homemade. It is often the little personal touches that make the table extra cosy to gather around..
Here we have gathered ideas for tablecloths, table runners, napkins and table settings that you can pick and choose from and make your own. You don't have to do it all. Find your favourites and create the Christmas table you'll look forward to setting again next year.
Inspiration for you
Let the tablecloth set the mood
The red tablecloth is a Christmas classic, but there are many ways to make it your own. Go all in on red, play with beautiful Christmas patterns, or choose a lighter tablecloth and let the red details take centre stage.
Here we have set the table in different ways, so you can pick the ideas you love and create your own Christmas table.
Classic Christmas
Red, green and plenty of Christmas spirit
There is something special about the classic red Christmas table. Let a deep red tablecloth set the scene, and add green napkins, candles and little details from nature. Familiar, warm and perfect for gathering around.
Light and festive
Mistletoe on the Christmas table
The light jacquard with red mistletoe gives the Christmas table a light and cosy look. Set the table with deep red fabric napkins, and let them bring the colours together and add a little extra warmth to the table.
A Christmas classic
Play with festive shades of red
Let the red jacquard with woven hearts take centre stage on the Christmas table, and set the table with white fabric napkins for a subtle contrast. A warm and classic combination that needs little else to feel like Christmas.
Christmas with beautiful details
Let the Christmas table bloom
The light jacquard with red flowers and gold-coloured details gives the Christmas table a light and elegant look. Let the tablecloth take centre stage, and keep the rest simple with shades of red, candles and your favourite details.
Easy and eye-catching
Give the Christmas table a soft and festive look
The red velvet with embossed Christmas trees adds depth, shine and plenty of Christmas spirit to the table. And it is wonderfully easy to use as a tablecloth, as you can simply cut it to the size that fits your table.
The finishing touch
Let the table runner bring the Christmas table together
A table runner is an easy way to add a little something extra to your Christmas table. Use it directly on the table, or place it over a plain tablecloth and let the colours and pattern bring the table setting together.
Sew one long runner for the centre of the table, or make several smaller ones and place them across the table. This way, you can play with the look and find the solution that suits your table perfectly.
A little Christmas project
A table runner full of Christmas spirit
Tapestry fabric is almost made for Christmas table runners. The woven motifs are full of colours and little details that give the table personality and plenty to discover.
Choose a motif you love, and let the table runner be the detail that takes centre stage. Then the rest of the table really doesn't need much.
A few tips
- Always add a little extra for hems and seam allowances.
- Sew a narrow rolled hem for a simple and neat finish.
- If you want to give the runner a little more weight, you can iron interfacing onto the back.
The little details
Fabric napkins you'll want to bring out every Christmas
There is something special about fabric napkins you have sewn yourself. They make the table a little more personal, and you can choose exactly the colours and details that suit the way you celebrate Christmas.
Go classic with red, create contrast with off-white, or mix different shades around the table. And if you like, you can make them extra special with embroidery, ribbon or a little homemade detail.
Best of all, you can bring them out again next December. Perhaps they will even become one of those little things that, over time, simply belong to Christmas.

A favourite for napkins
Set the table with linen
Sew your fabric napkins in classic red for plenty of Christmas spirit, choose natural or sand for a more subtle look, or go with green for a richer look.
A classic for the Christmas table
Red napkins belong at Christmas
Sew the napkins in classic Christmas red, and place a small felted Christmas bauble at each place setting as the finishing touch. A simple detail that makes the Christmas table feel a little extra cosy.
Light and simple
Let the little details shine
Sew the napkins in lightweight, off-white linen, and decorate each place setting with a small Christmas ornament. A lovely combination that gives the Christmas table a light and simple festive touch.
A little Christmas greeting
A Christmas greeting at each place setting
Sew the napkin in soft, classic red muslin, and embroider "Merry Christmas" as a cosy little greeting for those around the table.
