While you might think that most St. Patty's Day decor is more fitting for an Irish pub, you can still decorate your space in a fun and festive way that honors the Irish, while remaining classy and tasteful.
Or, you can skip classy and tasteful altogether and resign yourself to your home looking like a pub for a few hours. Just have fun with it. Either way you go, think green, think gold, think leprechauns, and think shamrocks. And maybe some horseshoes thrown in for good measure.
One idea for table decor is to use indoor grass as a table runner, then scatter it with silver and gold coins. You can also place cute little candles in a line down the middle, and voila! You've got an inexpensive--yet tasteful and cheerful--splash of St. Patrick's Day flavor without going overboard.
If you want a more elegant layout, go for lots of gold and metallic and choose muted blends of green as accent colors. You don't even have to use anything with shamrocks or horseshoes on it unless you want to.
If you are a St. Patricks Day fanatic and think no celebration is worthwhile without lucky four-leaf clovers and horseshoes, you can fashion pretty green linen napkins into cute accent pieces and use horseshoe and clover-shaped bowls for finger foods.
Really, when it comes to St. Patricks Day, as long as green and gold is part of the color scheme, only your creativity is the limit.
