In the dining room, update traditional holiday tabletop elements with a rich color palette. Instead of the usual cut evergreens in the center of the table, we arranged a colorful mix of coral-hued lilies and apricot roses in a glass serving bowl, glamorized with some metallic-painted pinecones. Traditional and always elegant platinum-rimmed plates and etched wineglasses from Mikasa feel fresh set against the lively ruby red damask place mats. Playful, oversize jewel-tone glass fruits keep the "tablescape" from getting too serious, and aromatic sprigs of cedar enliven the room's graceful chandelier.
