These creations are suitable for a wide variety of situations, but perhaps the best part is that you can take advantage of many of the materials that can always be found in the wigs of home closets.

Table decoration: where to start?

In the following solutions, ordinary materials and objects are used in surprising ways, and by making small edits, you can transform them into the styles of the event you just organized. Have fun!

1. Watering can and casual flower arrangement

Would you like a colorful eye-catching eye-catcher for your party table? Then this option is easy.

A watering can can be a really charming vase, and once it’s filled with flowers, nothing else is needed. Large and colorful flowers give such an arrangement a pleasant rustic nuance.

2. Glass jar or ceramic container decorated with flowers and string

Don’t throw away the different glass jars that accumulate in the kitchen! This still life is simply created from jars, water and flowers.

In addition, you can use a string to decorate the top of the jar. This is a charming table decoration that is created quickly.

3. Decorate the table with just about anything you can find in the kitchen cupboards

How about using rice, beans or even seeds for decoration? Fill the glass jar with them; for example, you can first pour rice on the bottom and then put the seeds on top.

This will create a beautiful and colorful layer decoration, and when you add a few more flowers to it, the result will be a beautiful and also a special boost of the transition.

4. Flowers in a coffee cup

Guests are on the doorstep, but there are no flowers on the table yet, and no vase can be found anywhere. No worries, as you can take a beautiful cup of coffee to the table and then just flowers in a relaxed setting. Really effortless, and this is also one refreshingly different way to put flowers out.

There is certainly no shortage of cups in anyone’s kitchen, so this still life is easily shaped.

5. An extremely easy way to put flowers on the table

One idea, which is certainly effortless and yet always elegant and inventive, is to have a wine glass or other tall glass, and then just one beautiful flower. This kind of still life is minimalist, but it is very beautiful in all its simplicity.

6. Fruit as a material for still lifes

What about fruit? They are especially suitable for autumn moments at the table, and the time to create a setup is only a few minutes.

To get a beautiful result, just take a suitable basket and put fruits that fit together. You can also add flowers, grass, or pine needles, or anything you think fits well into your fall decor.

7. Shoes as table decoration…? Yes!

Are there high heels in your closets that you haven’t worn in a long time?

Just fill them with leaves and flowers and you will notice how easily a very unique still life is created that is sure to get the admiration and wonder of your guests.

8. Flowers in bottles

Beautiful bottles with water and some long flowers are just as stylish and casual decorations on the table.

9. Decorate the table with floating candles

Of course, candles are always the basic ingredients of table decoration, and they cannot be missing from this list either. Especially for autumn and winter table settings, it is worth trying the following inexpensive idea.

Get floating candles and then place them in a bowl of water. Also put flowers in a bowl (put them completely under the surface of the water). The candles should remain on the surface of the water. The result is a really beautiful and atmospheric composition.

10. Stones and candles

This requires a bowl with a mouth so wide that you can easily decorate the inside of the pain. Put  beautiful decorative stones inside the skewer – you can paint the stones or leave them looking natural, and even a candle fits in the middle.

You can also make different versions by placing a long, thick or small candle in the middle.

11. Watermelon and flowers are a surprising but functional decorative combination

Cut small pieces of watermelon at each end. Put it upright in a container and poke a few long-stemmed flowers in it, and you have a surprisingly beautiful and fun table decoration in your hands.

Even small pieces of watermelon peel will work. For example, you can nail short-stemmed flowers to shells, and you can conjure up very original “boats” each decorated.

12. Lemon pieces as decorations

Take a round, transparent container and fill it with slices of lemon or orange (or, for example, lime or other similar fruit). Then add a few more flowers for decoration, and the finished fire! Of course, you can use whole lemons or any other fruit as they act as charming decorations as such.

Have you already tried decorating with lemons? They immediately bring a dose of freshness and harmony to the environment, and such a colorful table decoration is adorable in all its simplicity.

13. Candle under the glass

Now you can see how an ordinary idea can be transformed into a very creative one with even a small change!

All you need for this is a glass of wine and a small candle. Turn the glass upside down and place the candle on the bottom. Such an easy, simple and yet guaranteed unusual decoration can be applied for!

14. Decorative whistles

If you find colored whistles in your closets (like a child’s birthday), now you have a great way to use them in a useful way!

• Take a jar or glass, measure its height and cut the whistles accordingly.
• Then put the whistles inside the jar and add a few flowers around them.
• The whistles eventually cover the entire surface of the jar.
• Then put another string or ribbon to make the decoration finish.

15. Flowers in a bird cage

Is there an old bird cage in the garage? Or a decorative cage? Such are also suitable for making setups.

Put suitable flowers inside the cage (it’s just OK if the flowers and their leaves come out). If you leave the gate open, the still life looks more beautiful at first, but it also works like a “ood for freedom,” doesn’t it?

16. Pears on a beautiful tray

For this you need a tray (we recommend an oval shape). Put pine needles on the bottom of it to create an autumn style. Then add three or four more pears, and finally you can add more color to the grapes or other small and appropriately colored fruits.

17. Sticks and flowers – a surprisingly functional combination

Next time you are walking with the kids, take the opportunity and collect decorative materials!

Among other things, collect sticks. Then put them in a bunch and add flowers between the branches. Finally, fasten these together with string or tape so that the bundle stays properly upright without assistance.

As you can see, there are countless ways to decorate a table in a slightly more special way than just a bouquet of flowers and a vase. You can use almost any material found in your home. Unleash your creativity!
