Take cues from your home’s natural surroundings as you set your fall table this year. Vibrant yellows of a ginkgo and warm orange and red hues from a changing maple tree nearby create a perfect palette. Contrast the rich, golden tones of your porch pumpkins and mums with a touch of unexpected whimsy in pops of pink, lilac, and green.
Purple-rimmed scalloped dinner plates in the Chelsea Bird pattern by Mottahedeh showcase autumn splendor in an unexpected colorway. Layered atop a mustard-colored tablecloth, textured wicker charger, and pink patterned napkin, this playful place setting finds perfect harmony.
When the weather is agreeable, try bringing the indoors outside. Cozy blankets and throw pillows are colorful accents that also contribute comfort and warmth.
When it comes to fall décor, there is a wealth of exciting options that aren’t limited to pumpkins and gourds alone. Apples and acorns also give a playful nod to the harvest season while adding lovely notes of ochers and browns to the table.
Apple cider is an autumn classic. It makes for a delicious beverage choice, whether you prefer it served chilled or warmed, and it’s a delight when paired with savory seasonal foods or on its own. When you treat your guests to a cup of fresh cider, consider providing cinnamon sticks for a cheerful garnish. Glass mugs help turn the honey-colored beverages into part of the décor while baskets of apples add to the festive scene.
