Simple Fall table top decorating ideas.

Autumn is here and the Fall colors outside are beautiful. Here are some ways to bring the essence of fall to your table:

1. Layer a Cozy Table Runner

* Choose a fabric runner in a warm, fall-inspired color like burnt orange, mustard yellow, or forest green. This sets a cozy foundation and instantly adds warmth.

2. Create a Natural Centerpiece

* Arrange pumpkins, gourds, pinecones, or dried leaves down the center of your table. You can even use a shallow wooden tray or bowl filled with these elements for a cleaner look.

3. Add Seasonal Greenery

* Incorporate branches of eucalyptus, dried wheat, or fall foliage for texture. Place them in small vases, or weave them through your centerpiece for a natural, earthy touch.

4. Use Simple, Warm Lighting

* Add votive candles, tea lights, or small lanterns in warm tones. They’ll add a soft, flickering glow to your table, making it feel cozy and inviting. Also, string lights can add a touch of wow to your table whether woven between seasonal greenery or in a small lantern.

5. Mix in Earthy Textures

* Use textured placemats, woven chargers, or cloth napkins in autumn colors. Linen or burlap adds a rustic feel, while ceramic or wooden dishware enhances the earthy vibe. We love our collections at Chilewich and Anne Selkie. Come in to order and see our selection.

6. Go with Natural Color Palettes

* Stick with warm tones, like deep oranges, reds, yellows, and greens, along with neutrals like beige or cream. This subtle palette captures the fall aesthetic without overwhelming.

7. Add Mini Pumpkins or Acorns as Place Cards

* Place a small pumpkin, gourd, or an acorn on each plate for a cute, personal touch. You can even use small name tags if you’re hosting a gathering.
