Whether you’re hosting a family gathering or simply want to elevate your daily dining, a beautifully curated tablescape can transform any meal into a festive celebration. I honestly love to do this for me and Scotty each season because it’s an easy way to change up our home and make our space feel fresh and festive!

This season, I’m delighted to be styling my table with pieces from Linen Chest, a Canadian brand known for helping us make the most of our homes with exceptional decor, kitchen essentials, and one-of-a-kind gifts.

And with Black Friday and Cyber Monday just around the corner, there’s no better time to pick up a few special pieces! Plus I always see the best bits fly off the shelves first so this is a great way to get ahead of the crowds!

The Power of a Tablescape: Big or Small, It’s All About the Feeling

A festive tablescape isn’t reserved for grand dining rooms. You can create a warm, inviting space no matter where you dine—be it a long table, a quaint round one, or even a countertop. A few well-chosen items are all it takes to set a cosy, festive mood that feels special to you and your loved ones. Think of it as a wonderful way to celebrate each season in style!

At Linen Chest, you’ll find everything from elegant centrepieces to textured accessories that bring depth and personality to your setting. This year, I’m focusing on adding height, scent, and texture to my holiday table with a few key pieces that make all the difference.

Creating a Festive Table with Height, Scent, and Texture

When designing a tablescape, I love to start with a theme or feel. This holiday season, I’ve chosen classic elegance with a cosy twist—think soft candlelight, warm textures, and touches of holiday green. Here are a few ideas to bring your table to life:

Add Height with Candles:

Taper candles are perfect for adding that beautiful vertical element, especially when set in the centre of the table. The soft glow not only creates a welcoming ambience but adds a subtle seasonal scent that gently fills the room. These ones I found in-store spread the subtle yet effective Fraser Fir Evergreen scent, making our space feel like the Christmas tree is already up!

Layer with Texture:

The secret to an inviting table is texture. Linen Chest’s holiday trees are perfect for this, adding both festive flair and a sense of depth. Placing a few in the centre of the table—try using an odd number for a balanced look—gives it a full and thoughtfully designed appearance.

I also love the height of these ones because you can easily still pass the sharable dishes and share a conversation with the person across from you without dodging a big display. I also think these would be great by the sink in a powder room to add a touch of the season in a sophisticated way.

If you’re looking to save a little more this holiday I also recommend bringing in elements of the outdoors. Flip your summer bud vases into winter ones with sprigs of evergreen, holly and/ or berries.

Pops of Colour:

To make your tablescape truly shine, add in pops of holiday colour through napkins, placemats, or serving platters. Not only do these small accents bring life to your table, but they also create a beautiful, cohesive look. Plus, these items are easy to swap out with the seasons, keeping your setup fresh and inspiring all year long!

I like to go with more neutral themes even this time of year. By this I love bringing in table wear inspired by nature and for placemats I go with a metallic so they are still in style even after the holiday season. Gold perfectly matches our tableware, frames, candlesticks and home accents.
