Because your top-notch tabletop game should last well into the new year.

This winter, when it's so cold outside that your fingers and toes freeze even inside their mittens and warm socks, you'll be reminded of why you typically spend most of the season indoors. We prefer to be by a roaring fire with a steaming cup of hot cocoa or a warm, winter cocktail, letting the little comforts of home keep your spirit up. This year, make the winter season the coziest ever with easy winter decorating ideas, including rustic design touches and winter floral centerpieces that add something special to any table.

There are plenty of pretty, wintry centerpiece ideas to keep your spirits bright and cheery throughout the colder months, and you might not even have to leave your house—or your yard, anyway—to make them happen. For example, there is the "pluck and tuck" technique for a pleasing (and free!) arrangement. Pluck greenery from trees and shrubs in the yard, then tuck into a vase, crock, or pitcher. (Does it get any easier than that?) Create one-of-a-kind centerpieces using fresh flowers placed in vintage vessels, like old coffee or syrup tins. Explore other unique ideas featuring yarn and wheat for stunning setups.

Whether you're brightening up your breakfast nook, dining room table, or kitchen island with an everyday arrangement or something fancier for a winter wonderland party, a pretty winter centerpiece will instantly transform your table into a happier place to linger on cold, snowy days.

There is something so classic about candles dotting the center of your table. Add color to those candles and it brightens the mood. Layer in some ornaments and greenery for a little extra decadence.

You've done a lot this year, so why not let the food and booze be your centerpiece and let your guests take care of themselves. With some pretty vessels and serving boards, and candles to set the mood, you get to sit back and enjoy the conversation. To make it one step easier, Feste creates custom kits filled with all the essentials you'll need to pull this off.

Jazz up a garland of greenery with seasonal fruits, like citrus and pomegranates, which add an extra pop of color.

Wrap plain glass vases with strands of yarn, and thread with wood knitting needles. For more textured strands, braid or crochet lengths of yarn and tie around vases. Add ranunculus, baby's breath, snowberries, and twigs.

Look no further than your own backyard for some tree trimmings that you can incorporate into a garland on your table or tuck right into a vase, keeping it feeling natural without fuss.

Whether or not it's Christmas time, pretty vessels filled with ornaments feel festive and cheery for your centerpiece. Opt for golds and silvers if the colorful palette is not your thing. Or try mixing in pinecones or greens to break up all of the glass and shine.

White pillars on sturdy candle holders and an assortment of fruit arranged in a pedestal bowl keep the tabletop clear and decorated all at once.

Paperwhite bulbs are easy to grow inside—they only need a potting element (stones, marbles, pebbles), water, and a 3- to 4-inch deep vessel. Expect to wait three to five weeks to "force" blooms, and then enjoy the pretty perennials for up to six weeks. Here, three different containers provide texture and interest to the table. For a more formal look, grow in matching vessels.

Tuck greenery into humble pottery to liven up an informal dining space. Really, any vessel will do, especially in a neutral space like this one shown here. Try a potted plant for an even longer lasting (and fragrant!) centerpiece.

Whether you leave it raw or spray paint it white or gold, wheat is a great material to use as a centerpiece because it requires no care. Place a glass dome over a bunch and then surround with candles for an extra special display.

Centerpieces aren't just for dining room or kitchen tables. A kitchen island is another spot that deserves a little extra love. Here, a vintage enamel pitcher holds tree clippings, while baskets and bowls below hold fresh vegetables from the garden.

In this sunny, happy breakfast nook, greenery arranged in a graphic vase adds visual interest against the white banquette and paneled walls. Plus, hardy stems last several weeks—all you have to do is change out the water from time to time.

A vintage vessel (in this case, a colorful coffee can) adds just the right amount of charm to a table and works well with pink, red, and white flowers. We love this idea for a Valentine's Day breakfast.

For a centerpiece that won't wilt, try a pile of yarn balls arranged on a platter in tones that work with your room's decor.

For a classic whitewashed country table setting, collect branches from outside and spray paint them white, hanging little painted acorns on them. To display, use a vase or whatever you have on hand—even a spool of twine like the one shown here.

A bowl of bright green apples adds a pop of color to this otherwise neutral dining room. Swap green apples for lemons, oranges, red apples, or pears, or switch out the bowl for a basket or dough bowl.

Choose a wintry mix of flowers and display them in a sweet vintage maple syrup tin.

Borrow this coffee table arrangement for a breakfast or dining room table. A pretty pewter pitcher filled with hydrangeas can sit alone or on a tray with other collectibles (even crayons!), as shown here.

Paperwhites are the ultimate winter flower, and you can keep them growing—and on display—all season long. Choose a glass container for a clear view of the growing roots.

Arrange your bottle brush trees in a vintage crate to create a simple forest centerpiece for your table that will outlast the holidays.

Your table will get an extra helping of warmth thanks to a lantern filled to the brim with flowers.

To create a serene setting, top a pretty tray with an array of candles—real or battery-powered—at different heights.

In lieu of a row of vases, try snaking a garland down your dining table. Keeping the arrangement low allows for easy conversation for guests.

This graphic design works in any color combo, but we love the red and white bands combined with minty green and white florals for a sweet Valentine's Day arrangement.

Line your table with glass vases or jugs filled with tree trimmings. Use a variety of sizes (both containers and branches) for a perfectly imperfect display.

Pinecones, leaves, and candles set on a tiered tray make for a warm-yet-wintry scene. If it feels too tall to keep on your table as guests sit down to eat, simply move it to a sideboard during the meal.

Bundle up your vases and candles for sweater weather with, well, sweaters. Get the tutorial at Thrifty and Chic.

Options for florals during the coldest months of the year can be sparse. Take a cue from blogger Liz Marie Galvan of Liz Marie Blog and opt for faux blooms. They'll last all winter long with no mess or cleanup! Put a country twist on your arrangement and pop it in a crock.
