Roundup: 20 Easy Holiday Centerpiece Ideas

by on Nov 2, 2010

Admittedly, I’m a bit of an under-decorator.  I prefer the most minimal of minimal centerpieces (this was my centerpiece from xmas ’09, for example).  As such, I’m always on the lookout for super-simple centerpiece ideas that are a) modern and b) inexpensive.  And of course, unique and easy.  Fortunately, the following centerpiece ideas are all that – and more!  

Real Simple really out did themselves with this collection of 20 5-minute centerpieces for every occasion.  I’ve highlighted a few of the holiday-appropriate settings, but if you’re itchin’ for some non-holiday related inspiration, check out the whole set here.

Looking for a way to use up those no-carve pumpkins?  Simply chop off the top and add flowers.  Voila!  Insta-centerpiece.  For a sweeter setting, try a few holiday-colored lollipops in a painted bucket.  Fun and fanciful.
