Rosh Hashanah is one of the most popular holidays, in part because of the evaluations it makes possible to give expression to our personal hospitality style.
In an age where every festive and special event goes straight to the torch, there is another importance to a fancy holiday table, which will serve the holiday atmosphere but above all it will look great.
Most of the effort invested in the holiday meal is probably directed to cooking, but unfortunately smells and tastes (good as they may be) do not pass through the lens.
On less formal dinners, the photogenic hospitality table tends to be like a colorful canvas, with no boundaries and no rules.
But when it comes to a gala dinner it is important to consider a number of basics.

Color palette
The first step is to choose a color scheme, it may seem like a minor detail, but once you set a color, the rest of the decisions are easy.
For a festive dinner, it is recommended to choose a monochromatic color that will leave the focus on the photogenic dishes and the main element chosen for the center of the table.
Textile The
textile on the guest table, which includes tablecloths and napkins, sets the fashionable tone and planned design style.
It's time to decide whether to go for a contemporary modern style or perhaps for the Nordic style that distills monochromatic colors of gray, black and white.
Perhaps specifically for a boho-chic style that connects natural materials such as linen and cotton to shades of beige, gold that connect to Mother Earth.
dishes
The key in designing a photogenic holiday table is to mix and match - Mix and Match: vintage utensils with modern utensils, smooth utensils alongside utensils with textures, etc.
It may sound complex but definitely worth the result.
A play of textures and design styles always adds a unique and sophisticated chic to the table design.

Central element A central
element can be any dominant design item that has an expression for the dialogue between form and material and between color and texture, from flower arrangements to sophisticated candlesticks.
Choose a Centerpiece that will advise and compliment the holiday table.
A colored key element would work great on a monochromatic table, for example.
You can also add a personal touch to it, if you have chosen an interesting vase, design and arrange the bouquet that will be placed in it yourself.
White and gold table
An accurate dose of shiny and shimmering gold tones and matte gold.

This table design features a play of bright and shiny shades of gold combined with an accurate dose of matte gold.
The table abounds in geometric shapes made up of meticulously rounded hopes, which maintain a formal cleanliness and together create both a classic and innovative aesthetic.
Two sets of tools create the look - one made of white porcelain, and the other of glass with shining edges.
The table allows combinations of identical products in different heights and sizes, which create height differences and interest to the eye, so for example you can scatter between the serving plates identical candlesticks at different heights, which will be placed next to other dishes standing on legs, such as wine glasses, soup bowls, serving bowls and the like.
A table with an autumnal vintage look
Do not be afraid to combine textures and lines and tools from different periods.

The design of this table presents an accurate seasonal look in autumn shades and the fall of the main tool set is neutral in white shades while the warm earth colors are reflected in complementary tools such as cups, cutlery, napkins and flower arrangements. This is the combination of old and new, vintage and modern .. These combinations create a lot of interest and a sense of balance at the table.
A table with a bold graphic design
The textile does all the work.

The whole tone of this design is given by the textile - the tablecloth and matching napkins that are decorated with a bold print of black lines and red / pink color smears.
The rest of the tools on the table leave the main stage for graphic design, support it (monochromatic black-and-white plates) or balance and soften it (wooden trays with a natural texture and with rounded and soft corners)
Nordic-looking table
If you liked it in the living room and year-round rooms why not have it on the table as well?

This is how you designed the living room, the bedroom and the children's rooms - so why not the holiday table?
The Nordic style is one of the most popular in Israel in recent years, and although it comes to us from the Gentiles, it can certainly be converted in favor of the holiday table.
The Nordic design is minimalist and organic, its colors are soft and muted, mostly natural shades with pastel touches.
The lines will be natural and rounded.
The final look of the table should be clean, without clutter.
