Simple Steps for Creating Your Fall Tablescape

Fall tablescape with pumpkins and leaves

Ready to update your tablescape for fall? It can seem hard to find the right combination of items that will not only convey the cozy feeling of the season, but also look great together. If you’re having trouble putting together the perfect tablescape or you just need a bit of imspiration, take a look at these tips from Modern Glam.

Shop Your Home First

Before you rush off to the nearest home décor store in search of a centerpiece or the accessories to go around it, take stock of what you already have in your home. You may find that you have everything you need to create a perfect tablescape. Maybe you have a set of candles, faux flowers, or even a fancy serving dish that will look great on your fall tablescape.

Be Unique

You can go the traditional route for your fall tablescape, but finding unique items and ways to display them is far more fun. For instance, instead of using a table runner, opt for something unexpected, like the plaid blanket the decorator at Modern Glam used.

Use Natural Elements

Fall is full of wonderful natural colors that will look great on a table display. You can look to nature as your first source of materials for your table scape. There are plenty of ways you can incorporate nature into your tablescape. For starters, you can create a cornucopia of harvest fruits and veggies using pumpkins, gourds, and squashes. Then, preserve fall leaves and add them to the display. Finally, grab a few fallen pine cones and arrange them on a serving platter.

Mix Patterns

You can create texture and depth in your tablescape by mixing patterns. Mixing patterns is tricky. There is an art to balancing the different prints and patterns so that they compliment each other. You can easily create a patterned look by choosing one pattern as the focal point. The focal pattern should be larger than all the others. In the Modern glam tablescape, the decorator chose tartan plaid as the focal point and complimented it with a buffalo check pattern and ticking stripes.
