Every year I think about a new idea for my Christmas table setting. This year I landed on a theme of wood and dark green. If you visited my Christmas home tour on Monday, you saw a glimpse of this tablescape. (This post contains affiliate links.)
Today is Cozy Living Saturday, which means it’s the first Saturday of the month and I’m joining my cozy blogging friends for another round of inspiration. On Cozy Living Saturday, we share something that’s meaningful to us that month. Something that gives us a sense of warmth, joy, comfort, or inspiration. December always reminds me of my mother and her mad holiday decorating skills. She also set a festive table for Christmas and I try to do the same.
My Christmas table setting starts with wood chargers that were the inspirational spark for the entire tablescape. I found the beautiful chargers at Home Goods – just $25 for a pack of four! Usually just one wood charger costs that amount. I tried to find a second pack but unfortunately had no such luck.
The amber glasses and rustic flatware are from World Market (I don’t believe they carry either anymore). The green-striped table runner is from Deane’s, a local deli that also sells farmhouse wares. They have the best salads and sandwiches!
Crate and Barrel was the next source of inspiration for my wood and dark green Christmas table setting. I already had the dark gray Marin plates and grained albizia wood bowls from C&B.
A recent trip to C&B resulted in the dark green, round placemats and the Christmas tree napkins. But there was still something missing.
So I tucked gift card boxes in the wooden bowls at each place setting. It’s a nice little take-home present.
The centerpiece is a shallow reproduction dough bowl with greenery and metallic ornaments. I like the warmth and bit of sparkle of the bronze and gold ornaments.
And so, the table is set for a small, cozy gathering. Hubby and I have been enjoying dinners here by the Christmas tree. It’s been wonderful. I have to say, I enjoy the peace and quiet of being an empty nester.

Absolutely gorgeous. I love your centerpiece with the pretty greenery and the beautiful shiny bright large ornaments. The tree nearby creates such a beautiful setting for dining. So pretty and well done.
Thank you, Marty! I’m missed dining out but having dinner next to the Christmas tree makes at-home dining feel a little more glamorous and special!
Absolutely gorgeous Jennifer! I love the way the wood and amber tones contrast with the dark greens in your plates and greenery! Just stunning!
Thank you, Kristy! I was just so happy to find the wood chargers for such a bargain!
So cozy and beautiful! Your table caught my eye on the housewalk. Love the mix of warm woods, green, and the fun napkins. What a cute idea to add a gift at each place setting. Merry Christmas!
Thanks, Danielle. I’m on the hunt for more wood dining pieces like serving bowls. 🙂
What an inspiration table setting for the holidays! I’m taking notes for my own Christmas table. Loving those wood chargers and wood bowls and and especially head over heels for those napkins! Just lovely! Pinning away for Christmas inspiration! 🙂
Thanks, Linda! I had almost given up on finding just the right napkins when I came across the Christmas tree pattern. Who knew napkins were so important? 🙂
So festive and cozy, with your tree nearby. Love it. Have a great weekend, Jennifer.
I love the wood and that pretty color of green, anyone can feel cozy when sitting at this table and in this atmosphere.
Everything is fabulous. I even see that you made a spot for me. Thank you. Really, your tablescape is so pretty, warm, and just that welcoming. Thanks for sharing
What a warm, inviting tablescape. I’m usually not a fan of brown, or dark colors, but your table looks so lovely. Love the antique looking ornaments and those wood bowls and chargers. It’s beautiful. I’d leave that table set all the time.
This is my favourite colour combo, I love everything! It’s so cozy and earthy, I may have to use your table as my inspiration this year! xo
Aw, it’s just perfect. I love the color combo and the down to earth feel it all has. I’m a sucker for wood and the color green, anyway. Have a Blessed Christmas my friend 🙂
