Maximalist Christmas Tablescape Ideas for Entertaining Season: Blue, Brown & Lemon

Christmas entertaining is officially here — which means long lunches, festive hosting, and tablescapes that deserve their own Instagram moment. This year, we’re leaning all the way into modern maximalism: layered colour, bold textures, and playful details that turn every seat into the best seat at the table.

If you’re searching for maximalist Christmas tablescape ideas, dopamine décor inspiration, or fresh ways to style your Christmas long lunch, this look is everything.

The Look: Blue, Brown & Lemon Maximalist Christmas Table Styling

This vibrant Christmas tablescape starts with a patterned green, white, and pink tablecloth, creating the perfect base for pops of blue, mustard, brown, and gold. It’s a layered, colourful approach that brings life, personality, and festive abundance to your holiday entertaining.

The standout hero?
Our pink and brown fill-your-own bon bons with blue ribbon — the quickest way to add instant personality and on-trend colour to your table. Unexpected, irresistible, and completely mood-lifting.

HOT TIP FOR HOSTS:
If you can’t find a tablecloth you love, check the bedding section and grab a king-size bedspread. Yes, really — it’s exactly what we used.

How We Styled This Maximalist Christmas Table

To build on the colour story and add depth to the table:

  • Mustard linen napkins add warmth and richness

  • Light blue plates introduce a crisp, modern contrast

  • Rattan placemats bring natural texture and grounding

  • A U-shaped blue vase filled with bright, bold flowers anchors the centre of the table

  • Pink and orange glass candle holders add colour play and sparkle

  • White candlesticks bring soft height and balance

  • A pleated white bowl overflowing with lemons adds a fresh, zingy pop of yellow

  • Linear Cocktail and Gin Glasses shimmer beautifully at every place setting

Every detail creates a layered, joyful, and deeply inviting table — perfect for long Christmas lunches and summer celebrations.

The Trend: Refined Maximalism Meets Christmas Entertaining

The dopamine décor movement continues to dominate 2025, and this tablescape is proof that maximalism is the star of Christmas entertaining.

Gone are the days of minimalist, matchy-matchy table settings. Instead, this look embraces:

  • Bold colour combinations

  • Clashing patterns (in a good way)

  • Curated chaos

  • A confident, expressive style

This is maximalism for grown-ups — joyful, elevated, and full of personality without ever feeling messy. It’s a table that feels like celebration itself.

The Moment: Fill-Your-Own Bon Bons — Your Most Unforgettable Table Guest

Long lunches are all about connection, laughter, and those unexpected moments — and our Fill-Your-Own Christmas Bon Bons were made for exactly that.

Inside each one, you’ll find a conversation starter or mini game designed to sabotage small talk and spark something real. Even your quietest guest will come alive. (Yes, even Grandma.)

Fill them with whatever suits your crowd:

  • Mini bottles of alcohol

  • Chocolate or gourmet treats

  • Sentimental keepsakes

  • Something delightfully unhinged

The result? A table full of personality, surprise, and genuine connection.

And the best part:
Our bon bons are eco-friendly, plastic-free, and made entirely from paper, so you can celebrate big without creating waste.

Good for the planet. Bad for boring parties.
