Before selecting the New Year's tablecloth, you should determine a concept for yourself. If you are going to use colorful dinnerware, you can choose the tablecloth in plain colors such as black or white.

However, if you plan to use simple dinnerware, you can choose a patterned and colorful New Year's tablecloth as you wish. The tablecloth, in a sense, is the determinant of all the other elements of the New Year's table setting. Therefore, it is useful to consider the concept in advance.

Therefore, you can continue preparing by choosing New Year's napkins that will match your tablecloth and dinnerware set and placing them on the table.

Make sure that the napkins are suitable for your concept and do not create a contrast with the tablecloth. For example, you can use the trendy colors of New Year, such as red and green.

4. Use Narrow Service Plates for Space Efficiency

Since New Year's tables are filled with a variety of food and drinks, conserving space will help avoid a messy appearance. If your table isn't big enough, it's advisable to choose service plates that are relatively smaller. Besides their size, make sure service plates are compatible with your New Year's concept for a chic display.

5. Arrange the New Year's Table Setting
