Tips for Embracing Fall

As the weather cools down and leaves turn vibrant shades of orange and red, it’s the perfect time to transition your home decor for the fall season. Fall is one of my favorite times of the year because it gives us the opportunity to embrace warm, inviting, and cozy elements that make our spaces feel like a comforting retreat. Below, I’ve gathered some of my favorite fall decor ideas that will help you transform your home into an autumn haven.

1. Rich, Warm Color Palette

One of the easiest ways to bring the fall season into your home is by swapping out your summer hues for a more fall-inspired palette. Think burnt oranges, deep burgundies, mustard yellows, and warm browns. These colors evoke a sense of warmth and can be used throughout your space in throw pillows, blankets, and even art prints.

Here are some of my favorite fall florals in that moody burgundy hue:

In my post Harvest Tablescape Featuring the Martha Stewart Collection I use various oranges and browns to accent the white dinnerware for this perfect fall setting. This is a great way that you don’t need to break the bank with new dishes, but instead add color in other ways. Sources for this table are linked in the post above. Just click on the link and scroll down to find the sources.

2. Pumpkin Accents

What says “fall” more than pumpkins? Whether real or faux, pumpkins are a must-have for fall decor. You can find ceramic or wooden pumpkins in neutral shades for a minimalist look or opt for traditional orange ones to give a pop of color. My shop has a large selection of various pumpkins such as glass, ceramic, felt, and wooden. Each of the items in this shop are hand-selected and things I use in my house throughout the year!

Line them up on your mantel, use them in a centerpiece, or place small ones on side tables or shelves for a subtle nod to the season. This fall tablescape has a wide variety of pumpkins used and shows how beautiful an assortment of pumpkins can make any space.

3. Cozy Throws & Pillows

Layering throws and pillows is an excellent way to instantly warm up any space. Look for soft, chunky knits or faux fur textures to add comfort. Throws in autumnal colors like rust or earthy greens draped over your couch or armchair not only add style but also invite you to snuggle up on chilly nights.

4. Rustic Elements & Natural Materials

Fall decor thrives on natural, rustic vibes. Incorporate wood, wicker, and metal elements to add warmth and charm. Consider swapping out your modern decor for a more cozy cottage-inspired look by adding wood vases or pots, Fall stems or branches, or wicker baskets filled with cozy blankets.

Nature-inspired Decor: Fill vases with artificial or real dried flowers, wheat stalks, or pampas grass to bring the outdoors in. You can also gather pinecones, acorns, and autumn leaves from your yard for a natural touch. Here are some of my favorites for fall:

5. Candles

The shorter days of fall make lighting more important than ever. Swap out bright, summery lights for softer, more ambient lighting. Candles are an essential part of my fall decor—especially in warm, seasonal scents like cinnamon, apple, and pumpkin spice. Place candles in varying sizes on your mantel, dining table, or even your bathroom for a soft, flickering glow that feels magical.

Pro Tip: Mix candle holders of different heights and styles to create a layered, dynamic look.

6. Festive Wreaths & Door Decor

Don’t forget about your entryway! A fall-themed wreath can make your home feel welcoming before guests even walk through the door. You can find wreaths adorned with dried leaves, berries, pinecones, or pumpkins to match your fall aesthetic.

7. Harvest-Inspired Centerpieces

If you enjoy hosting fall gatherings, a harvest-inspired centerpiece is the perfect way to dress up your dining table. Whether you use a wooden tray filled with pumpkins, candles, and greenery or create a cornucopia overflowing with gourds, fruits, and nuts, this kind of centerpiece will bring fall vibes to any meal.

Create your warm fall space!

Decorating your home for fall is all about creating a space that feels warm, inviting, and full of seasonal charm. By incorporating a mix of pumpkins, rustic elements, ambient lighting, and cozy textiles, you’ll be able to celebrate autumn in style. Whether you’re hosting family dinners or simply enjoying a quiet night in, these fall decor ideas will help you make the most of the season.

FALL HOME DECOR IDEAS

Blue and Orange Pumpkin Themed Tablescape

Every year I like to create a pumpkin tablescape and this years came out completely different than I had planned it in my head. Blue was not in my original plan but as I was mixing and matching different dishes to see how they looked together I threw a blue plate in the mix just to see how it looked. The result was this blue and orange pumpkin themed tablescape!

As soon as I saw the blue against the orange, I knew I was changing my original plan. I have a lot of blue decor in my Highland, Utah home and my fall decor colors had a lot of orange colors mixed in so this worked out perfectly and matched my fall decor.

Two Different Versions

When I was setting the table, I had it set without the blue bowls. I liked it but then I added the blue bowls onto the table and I instantly liked it more. Here you can see each version. Which is your favorite?

Here you can see more of the orange and less blue. Either way I love the bright colors and how this tablescape came together.

One way you can determine how many plates you want use and whether you add a bowl or not depends on what you’re serving for dinner.

The Place-Setting

For my blue and orange pumpkin themed tablescape, I first started with the place-setting. I chose a teal blue charger and then alternated the blue and orange plates.

I wanted this pumpkin tablescape to be fun and not formal so I chose to use these paper placemats that came in a tablet. You just tear them off one at a time and they are super cute and affordable!

I used a light blue cloth napkin with these autumn leaf napkin rings and my everyday silver flatware.

The Centerpiece Garland

To create the centerpiece I layered two faux olive branch leafy garlands on top of a long burlap table runner.

Then I layered in faux fall colored leaf stems, blue and brown berry picks and a few faux sage picks on top of the two garlands. Then I nestled in some velvet pumpkins placing the largest one in the center and the smaller pumpkins in and around the garland.

Finishing Touches

I’m always about the details and adding simple things like matching salt and pepper shakers is one way I add an extra touch. I’m always on the hunt for cute salt and pepper shakers. I guess it’s safe to say that I collect them too! These cute copper and silver salt and pepper shakers matched perfect.

Another finishing touch and detail I added was the pumpkin sign on the wall in the dining room. Just underneath the sign I placed an orange metal container filled with more of the same leafy branch stems I used in the garland and placed it on top of an old antique crate.

The pumpkin sign is from Teal Barn Signs. I’ll link the sign and all the other items I’m able to below.

I hope you enjoyed seeing all the details of this fun blue and orange pumpkin themed tablescape!

The blue dishes are from Target a few years ago and discontinued so I’ve linked some similar options. The orange dishes are from Anthropologie. This color is not available at the moment but will maybe come back again in the future. This is the link to this line of dishes: Old Havana Dinnerware

Pumpkin Themed Fall Tablescape

When I saw these cute pumpkin dishes at HomeGoods, I knew I had to do a Pumpkin Themed Fall Tablescape. I often search for unique dishes for my tablescapes and when I found these cute pumpkin plates and bowls, I envisioned this festive table with different types of pumpkins.

The one downside with HomeGoods is that there is not always a full set of any place setting.  After searching six different stores in two different states, I finally had enough for 10 place settings!  Whew!  It was a lot of work tracking these dishes down but it has been so worth it. My sweet husband actually found half of them for me! He’s a keeper!

I did two different tablescapes with these dishes, mainly because I forgot to use the pumpkins the first go-round!  In the first attempt, I used the pumpkin dinner plate, salad plate, and bowl.  For the middle of the table, I used a garland and then layered in more greenery with white and orange faux flowers.

For the second version of the pumpkin table, I put a large wooden pumpkin in the middle as a centerpiece and nestled in orange, tan, and brown, velvet pumpkins throughout the greenery and flowers. I changed out the salad plate to a beautiful orange colored plate to help tie in more orange hues and add some contrast to the tan pumpkin plates. Also, I added in more orange flowers and some different cream-colored flowers as well.  The second version is my favorite!

I used tan colored napkins, wicker napkin rings, white chargers, and hyacinth placemats.

Everyone always asks me where I find all my dishes and the truth is, it’s like a treasure hunt!  Check HomeGoods, TJMaxx, Marshalls, and Tuesday Morning if your looking for a bargain.  You can often find cute sets for a decent price if you’re willing to do a little shopping and hunt them down at different locations. I also find great items for my tablescapes at Target, Pottery Barn, Williams-Sonoma, Pier1, Anthropology, West Elm, and Crate and Barrell.

I find the greenery and flowers at different hobby stores like Hobby Lobby, Kirklands, Michaels, Ben Franklin, Target, Crate and Barrel, and Pottery Barn. Find local home decor stores and garden centers near you for inspiration and unique finds!

I’ve linked the sources I could find at the bottom of the post for you. I hope you enjoy this fun, festive, pumpkin themed fall tablescape!

Holly’s Helpful Hints

Glasses are from Target-Hearth and Hand Fluted Tumblers.  If they are not available anymore, I’ve linked similar items below.  The chargers are from Hobby Lobby. I couldn’t find them on their website so I’ve linked another option below too.

A great resource for the authentic velvet pumpkins is from HotSkwash.  Be prepared though as they are not cheap!  There are YouTube videos on how to make them if you are a DIY’er.  I’ve linked another source below and you can find less expensive options if you don’t mind them having a fake stem.  I prefer the real stems though as they are cuter and more authentic but it’s an investment and they will keep for years if you care for them properly. Make sure they are filled with rice or beans and not just batting. The batting filled pumpkins don’t weigh much so they aren’t as easy to work with.

If you can’t find the pumpkin plates, look for another plain option that is tan or off white and use other plates, like I did in the second version and use different kinds of pumpkins to create the same look.

I hope you enjoyed this Pumpkin Themed Fall Tablescape! If you’d like to see more pumpkin themed tablescapes here are a few others I’ve shared over the years! All have pumpkins mixed in somewhere.
