Classically White Tablescape
Some people may say not to wear white after Labor Day…but that rule certainly does not apply when it comes to a crips, winter-white tabletop! Our Classically White Tablescape is equal parts old Hollywood and modern sophistication. Envision the cast of “Succession” having their Thanksgiving 2021 feast with Audrey Hepburn.
For this table setting, my team and I set each place with gorgeous white stoneware dishes from Vietri and dazzling Turkish glassware from Nude Glass, and then tied it all together with demure bow-tie style napkin rings from Juliska. For a splash of understated color, we dressed the table with seasonal evergreen boughs, as well as sprigs of fresh eucalyptus and cotton buds.

Winter Blues Tablescape
We’re officially giving a new meaning to the terms “winter blues.” Seasonal shades of blue and winter white comes together beautifully in our Winter Blues Tablescape collection. I am obsessed with the sweet print on our Juliska Country Estate dishware (and the matching napkins as well, of course)–it’s rooted in tradition but also has a decidedly fresh and modern look.
To accent the Winter Blues color motif, my team and I styled this holiday tabletop with modern classic wine goblets from Nude Glass, luxe MATCH Pewter napkin rings, and strategically placed plums and clementines to add contrast. The blue tones reflect the shades of the season, while the fruit decor symbolizes all of the gifts in life to be thankful for!

Seasonal Glam Tablescape
When I think “Seasonal Glam” for the winter holiday time, visions of sparkling gold, forest green, and pristine winter white immediately come to mind. This color palette is the perfect way to set the mood for upscale festivity for Thanksgiving 2021! For this tablescape we brought seasonal elements in with diminutive vases of evergreen sprigs and added glamour with gilded Kim Seybert placemats and gold and white dishware.
You can easily recreate this look for your holiday celebrations by drawing inspiration from the beauty of the winter season and then accenting it all with your favorite metallic shade throughout. So chic and so cozy!

Masculine Holiday Tabletop
While I love a soft and feminine holiday look, I also have a place in my heart (and on my design mood-board) for a more masculine-forward look as well. When my team and I set the table for a Masculine Holiday Tabletop, we started with pewter pieces at the heart of the look and then built from there, adding seasonal pops of color by way of greenery and fruit garnishes.
You can’t go wrong with dishware from MATCH Pewter when setting a masculine-style table–the look is strong and subtle at the same time. It’s also crafted with time-tested techniques that ensure your pieces will last for years to come. Talk about heirloom quality!

Modern Classic Tabletop
Here at KKH, we love the Modern Classic look, regardless of the season–and the holidays are no exception. For Thanksgiving 2021, add Modern Classic charm to your tablescape with statement-making napkin rings, luxe glassware, and subtle hints of metallic sparkle.
When my team and set this playful Modern Classic holiday tabletop, we leaned into some of our favorite brands: L’Objet, Kim Seybert, MATCH Pewter, and Blue Pheasant (to name a few). And of course, we tied it all together with jolly sprigs of greenery as a running centerpiece. Merry and bright in every way!
