For most, you’ll want to find a vessel of some sort to house a few items within the center of your table. A few ideas that are great for this are serving trays, wicker baskets, troughs, and runners. From there, you can get as creative or simple as you want. Some will go for a minimalist look with a clean vase of flowers placed at the focal point of the table, Others will try to balance out tall candle holders with shorter vases and figurines. The items you choose should mirror the style of the rest of your space. For instance, if you have a farmhouse-style dining set, perhaps choose a few antique items to display within your centerpiece. For a French cottage look, you could go with cut flowers and distressed wooden pieces. Modern centerpieces will often include some variety of neutrally toned flower arrangements and simple lines. Any of these are great places to start for dining table décor.
