3 Tips For Your Dining Room Centerpiece

There’s not always a whole lot of opportunity for accessorizing in the dining room, so a dining table centerpiece does need to make a big impact. Today, I’m sharing three tips for selecting, as well as a few favorite items that I’ve found over the years. Let’s jump right in!

1. Keep it low

   When you’re actually using the dining table, you’re engaging in a nice dinner with conversation. The absolute last thing you want to be doing is putting up a wall in the middle of the dining table and cutting guests off from one another. Even when you’re staging the room’s decor when it’s not in use, you don’t want a center piece to be so high that it’s getting too close to the chandelier and taking up too much space. I’d say keep it around 12” high and no more.

2. Less (pieces) is more

   I also prefer selecting a centerpiece that is 1-3 larger statement items rather than a grouping of many small items. Why? It will look less cluttered. It makes it easier to move and place back when cleaning or if you prefer to serve a dinner family-style on the table. Also, you want to make sure there is ample room for place settings at the table

3. Embrace drama

   As I mentioned before, because the dining table centerpiece is one of the best places to accessorize and add impact - so let’s embrace drama! Highlight your accent colors, add in texture or shine.
