Deck the Halls || A Simple Centerpiece Idea For Your Dining Room

If you are like me, you have probably purchased several packages of ornaments on major sale after Christmas. So this year when I was struggling to find inspiration on how to decorate the dining room for Christmas I turned to what was leftover in the tubs…

Lots and lots of metallic ornaments!

Turns out I had oodles of metallic ornaments just waiting to be used. So I decided to put them to work! And if you do as well, I am sharing a super simple “out of the tree” way to use them during the holidays.

But let me back up a little on this space… this spring I gave the dining room a post-quarantine “Glow Up”. Which basically means I dealt with all of the clutter that had piled up over the crazy year and also completed all of the half finished projects in the space.

I am SO happy I took the time this year to get this room “over the finish line” on feeling complete- so it was fun to just come in for Christmas and make it shine! One fun and easy update I made in here for Christmas was that bowl of ornaments as the table centerpiece. So simple yet I just LOVE it so much!

I love our round dining table, but honestly I have struggled with what to use as the center. I feel like a rectangle table is just easier to work with. But I did finall land on using around bowl year round. That white bowl is what permanently lives on this table, but I replaced the moss balls with a mound of metallic ornaments for the holidays! To make this I just stuffed it with paper towels and then piled the ornaments. I tried to space out the different metallic colors and just piled them all around.

I really do love how it looks and may be keeping these in here well into January!

The faux garland was also in my tub and I decided to drape it over the mirror. Realizing I still had bunches of metallic ornaments, I decided to GO FOR IT and bauble it up! It was kind of soothing and addicting to add the ornaments.
