Fall in Love with the Season

BY PACITA WILSON

Autumn is a time I associate with family, giving, and cozy nights curled up next to the fireplace, and although September weather doesn’t always feel like fall, still I’m eager to bring out my fall home decorations.

As someone who loves the season of giving, I hope I can help give you some inspiration to get started on your fall decorating with a few easy tips. Let’s start with your dining tablescape.

Color

The first step to decorating a tablescape is to pick your color scheme. Remember to think of colors that will invoke the warmth and coziness of the season. Then, choose your tableware. My goal is always to pick a simple, elegant design so I’m able to incorporate my favorite fall colors in with my accessories. Texture

When I think of fall decor, I like to focus on texture, while maintaining a simple design. For example, I add items such as wood and greenery − these also make great additions to your centerpiece. Make sure to add height to your table with things such as vases or urns. This will create a timeless look and focal point that draws in the eye. Another great centerpiece idea is adding unique greenery and florals to a dough bowl arrangement.

Final Touches

Finally, when it comes to the finishing touches for your table, don’t forget to add accessories, such as pumpkins, fruit or seasonal greenery.
