Add a festive touch to any table in your home this holiday season with these easy and beautiful centerpiece ideas!
A large bowl filled with various festive holiday items is one of my favorites to quickly put together for the season. These ideas are perfect for anyone, whether it’s for hosting a Christmas dinner or just wanting your table to look nice for the season. It’s an easy centerpiece for a Christmas tablescape, to pop on your kitchen island dining room table, or even your living room coffee table.
I’m going to show you 3 different takes on the same idea. You can either copy them exactly or use them as inspiration to come up with your own centerpiece using what you already have on hand.
Evergreens & Pinecones
This centerpiece is simply a bunch of faux pine and juniper layered in a bowl with some large pinecones. It’s one of my favorite looks and it can stay out all winter long since it’s not directly Christmas decor.
Adding fairy lights makes it feel more festive while adding that warmth and glow. This is such a quick and easy piece to put together and can be customizable to you.
I love this easy arrangement on my kitchen island alongside these pretty bronze sculpted reindeer (similar here), but once Christmas is over, the reindeer will be packed away for next year.
Faux juniper stems (if sold out, similar here) are one of my favorite decor pieces during the winter months. I love the texture and subtle pop of color from the blue berries. Plus, they look incredibly realistic! They are just as nice alone in a vase or added into a garland as they are as part of this centerpiece.

The large pinecones can be found at your local farmstand or garden center. They are much more expensive anywhere you look online, so check out a local shop first. I get mine for $3 a piece in person. Or if you want to save money completely, check outside! I always see them lying around and they are just as good!
Blue & Gold Ornament Bowl
My favorite bowl found its home on this console table and stays there all year long. It’s usually filled with my wooden mango beads. But for Christmas, I switch it up with pretty ornaments, and you guessed it, some more of my favorite faux pine stems.
This year I used 5-inch blue velvet ornaments and beige ornaments combined with an antiqued gold ornament that brings an elegant and textured look to this console table. I first put some crumpled-up tissue paper at the bottom of the bowl to fill up space, then popped the ornaments on top and filled in the gaps with the pine stems. Add some more battery-operated fairy lights for a little twinkle!

For this sort of arrangement, I opt for a deep and oversized bowl as this centerpiece is put in a larger spot. But if you plan on using this idea for a coffee table to accent table displace you could certainly use something smaller.
I love the mix of textures with this bowl. Between the velvet, faux brass, pinecones, and greenery, everything ties together nicely. If you try out this idea, pick at least 2 ornaments with different textures, designs, or colors.
Festive Ornament Bowl
This ornament bowl is similar to the one above but uses even larger glass ornaments in festive red, a more traditional Christmas centerpiece.
These etched glass ornaments are 6 inches in diameter so you only need 3 to make a statement. They also come in silver, but the red mixed with the green pine feels more like Christmas and really pops against the white washed wood bowl.
If you tend to stray away from reds and greens during the season, choose the silver option and add in some white and blue tones to give it a more winter feel.
These centerpiece ideas are so easy for anyone to pull together last minute, while looking beautiful and staying budget-friendly! Whether you have one proudly in the middle of your dining table for Christmas dinner, on your kitchen island, tucked into a corner of your living room or adorning your console or coffee table, I think these are a simple holiday centerpiece idea that you’ll come back to you after year (I certainly do!). Let me know which one you more or if these give you inspiration to make your own!
