‘Tis the season for gathering around the table. And we must say, making that table is something we take very seriously! But creating a beyond-beautiful tablescape shouldn’t be stressful. Here are our go-to pieces to adorn your kitchen and dining room during the holiday season.
No. 1: Oversized Charcuterie Boards
Charcuterie boards are one of the best ways to bring your family around the kitchen table. Showcase artisanal cheeses, fruits, bread or any of your family’s favorite holiday eats. Snacking never looked so stylish. Their beauty never has to be hidden, either. When not in use, simply stow them behind the range for a simply styled look.
No. 2: Cutting Boards
We believe that style is just as important as functionality, which is why we love to show cutting boards off rather than hide them away in the cabinet. They can be styled with vases full of seasonal branches, smaller kitchen accessories or beautifully layered against your backsplash. Adding in a simple cutting board brings texture and warmth to a kitchen that’s even more welcomed once the temperatures start to drop. Cutting seasonal produce just feels so much more enjoyable when it’s done on such a beautiful surface.
No. 3: Dough Bowls
Opt for hand-crafted bowls created with reclaimed wood, making each piece stunningly unique. They’re an essential for the holiday season and can be used in oh, so many ways: rolls on the table, juicy apples reserved for a pie, a colorful salad. They’re even a great backdrop for seasonal centerpieces!
No. 4: Cake Stands
What’s dinner without dessert? Put a holiday twist on our cake stand by placing a delicious seasonal pie or bread on it. Don’t let the “cake stand” name limit your tablescape dreams. Use this beautiful piece to elevate vases, table accessories and more!
No. 5: Serving Planks & Trivets
These might be the most versatile items on our roundup. Used as a tray, they coral any loose objects on the counter and seamlessly present a stunning centerpiece. For serving, they bring height and texture and add a rustic charm to the mix. A collection of trivets and planks in different sizes and shapes brings a collected vibe to your table setting. Styled separately or as a cluster, these are the accents that really take the table from great to social media worthy.
No. 6: Domes & Cloches
Glass domes are the perfect way to store apple pie baked with your mom’s secret recipe. They offer a practical way to accentuate your kitchen using the natural beauty of the season. Plus, they pair excellently with a cake stand or wooden trivet for elevated style.
No. 7: Storage Canisters
Food storage just got a makeover. Glass canisters are a beautiful way to showcase your yummy seasonal-inspired eats. Fill these canisters with snacks for your holiday guests like cookies and pretzels, or even use them for something as simple as spices, flour and sugars.
