Must-Have Tablescape Elements For Fall

From apple picking to pumpkin spice to cinnamon brooms, fall can take on a whole personality of its own, sometimes. The details remind us of holidays, cooler weather, and the comfort of home. Somewhere in the mix, we all have our own slice of fall, and it helps shape our personal styles. Whether your speed is flannel and gourds or more about rich colors and textures, curating a home design look for fall is a fun, creative exercise that can elevate any room.

One tenet of design is that a nicely appointed space is inviting and welcoming to guests. As such, preparing an autumn tablescape is an immersive experience focused on your own personal style. And don't forget to match your fashion to your function. Table elements can range from dainty seating cards for a formal dinner party to creative ghouls and goblins for a frightful Halloween bash and all spots in between.

Here are a few of our top must-haves for every fall tablescape style.
