table decorations

Festive surface accents

Table decorations are ornamental items placed on a table to enhance its appearance, especially for meals or events.

The term covers centerpieces, candles, place cards, flowers, runners, and seasonal arrangements: She spent hours on the table decorations for Thanksgiving.

The phrase typically implies a coordinated aesthetic rather than functional tableware.
