To add Hanukkah flair to this neutral dining room, Design Star Season 7 contestant Britany Simon created a tablescape (and a clever arrangement of paper lanterns) that features cool blue textiles, metallic elements and vivid floral arrangements.

Celebrate the Festival of Lights with a tablescape as rich as the tradition it honors. Blue, silver and gold accents bring together a spectacular setting for a memorable holiday feast.

When it comes to setting your Hanukkah table, start with a color scheme. Typically, people decorate for Hanukkah with blues, golds, silvers and whites, and those are the same colors you'll find on this tablescape. You can also think outside the box and opt instead for a pink, purple or orange Hanukkah. There are no rules, after all.

While white candles are the mainstay, hand-dipped ombré menorah candles add a gorgeous touch of color to the traditional menorah. Find them at Judaica specialty shops and online.
