You can feel that autumn is on its way, and I’ve already started adding charming fall vibes to our home with the perfect Fall Dining Room Table Decor!

I totally get into the cozy indoor mode during fall and winter. Something about hibernation vibes makes me love bringing in warm and comfy decorations. So, add some warm hues and charming calico patterns to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere.

Whenever the seasons shift, I’m all about giving our dining table a makeover. It’s the simplest way to play around with different seasonal decor vibes.

You see, fall table decorations are a fantastic way to embrace the cozy and festive vibes of the season. Bring warm, earthy colors like deep oranges, rustic reds, and golden yellows. Combining elements like pumpkins, gourds, and leaves can instantly evoke that autumnal feel.


Before we dive in, I want to share that my fall table is part of a blog hop with my talented friends. Be sure to view their stunning table settings, linked at the bottom of this post!

How to Decorate a Table For Autumn

So, when you’re getting creative with your fall dining room table decor, here are a couple of things to think about:

  • Colors: Fall is a time of rich and regal colors that bring warmth and opulence to any setting. While orange, red, brown, and gold are iconic autumn hues, royal colors can elevate your fall table decor. Consider using these colors in your tableware, napkins, and decor elements.
  • Tablecloth: A tablecloth in warm, autumnal colors can anchor the theme. You might choose a deep burgundy, burnt orange, or muted plaid pattern. The texture of the fabric can also add to the coziness.
  • Flowers: Choose flowers synonymous with fall, like sunflowers, dahlias, and chrysanthemums. Arrange them in rustic vases or even hollowed-out pumpkins for a unique touch. These vibrant blooms instantly infuse the table with autumnal hues.
  • Plates: Opt for dishes in earthy tones or rich jewel tones like deep reds, oranges, and gold. Consider using textured or patterned plates that evoke the feel of fallen leaves or rustic textures. Mix and match different sets for an eclectic vibe.
  • Candles: Candles are a quintessential part of fall decor. Go for unscented or autumn-scented candles like apple, cinnamon, or pumpkin spice. Place them in lanterns, glass jars, or candleholders for a warm and inviting glow.
  • Leaves: Scatter colorful artificial or dried leaves down the center of the table as a runner. You can even write guests’ names on larger leaves and use them as place cards. This adds an authentic touch of nature to the decor.

Fall Place Setting

I have a love for mixing designs and colors in my place settings. I thoroughly enjoy incorporating my collection of vintage plates into the mix.

My designs gravitate towards an eclectic English approach to table decoration.

This style brings a sense of warmth and coziness to any room or tabletop.

Autumn Floral Arrangement

When it comes to fall florals, I never forget to include stunning burgundy dahlias – their boldness perfectly captures the essence of autumn.

However, I always enjoy foraging in our nearby fields for fresh greenery.

Tablecloth/Table Runner

I discovered this amazing pheasant floral bird runner at Pottery Barn for my table. The mix of deep greens, warm rusts, and cool greys totally sets the mood with those classic fall colors. The fabric you bring in sets the vibe and makes a statement for your autumn table.

Consider including amber-colored glass votives to beautifully mirror the autumn color palette when it comes to candles. I found this set of 14 votives.

Incorporating pumpkin candles is a simple way to add autumn vibes to your room.

I stumbled upon some pumpkin candles on Etsy, and I’m absolutely delighted by their lovely appearance.

And finally, Yankee Candle has this wonderful Spicy Sangria candle that is a gorgeous burgundy color!
