Style a layered tablescape with this neutral Fall centerpiece featuring some of fall’s favorite textures and wood decor.Ā
For this season, I styled a neutral fall centerpiece for a casual tablescape. Ā When it comes to Fall, I think of beautiful textures, natural elements and pumpkins! I like to mix and match decor that I already own to create a fresh new look and add in a few seasonal touches.
Fall Centerpiece for Table
In the season of Pumpkin Spice everything,variety is still the spice of life. Ā Specifically, use a variety of textures when decorating with neutral decor. Ā The neutral colors will create a sense of calmness, but adding a variety of texture will make the space come alive. Ā I have mixed felted wool, cable knit and textured fabric pumpkins in my fall tablescape. Ā Wood adds warmth to a space, and using a range of wood tones is.a great way to add contrast and shake things up! Ā Also, mix and match old and new! Ā Vintage decor like these wooden spindles or worn cutting boards gives character and to the centerpiece.
It is important to have balance in any well designed space. Ā Using symmetry is an easy way to achieve balance, but an asymmetrical composition can work when you are working with a mixture of different pieces. Ā I started my centerpiece by filling a crate with candles, spindles and a felt garland in the center of the table. On either side, I layered pumpkins on stands with other similar elements like wood beads, cotton balls, and word cutouts. Ā The tablescape is balanced, because the objects take up about the same amount of space, while using similar colors, textures and shapes. I often use symmetry, but wanted this fall tablescape to feel more organic.
Whether it is wall decor or tablescapes, layering is one way to achieve interest through depth and dimension. Ā Varying the height of objects amongst one another creates layers of depth and visual interest. Ā This can be achieved by using cake pedestals, decorative stools, risers, or layering objects like books or cutting boards, as I have used here. Ā Draping wood beads over the centerpiece provides another textural element to this space and leads the eye through the centerpiece. Ā By repeating some of the same elements, you can build up the layers in a vignette while creating repetition in design. Repetition leads the eye throughout the tablescape. Ā Little details like the word cutouts are put there for several reasons. Ā They build layers, add interest and create unity in the centerpiece when used repeatedly.
It is a good idea to mix the materials that you are using between layers. I put fabric pumpkins on ceramic pedestals placed on wooden cutting boards layered over burlap.Ā Ā Ā The burlap table runner is the first thing that I put on the table to soften the look between the woods.
Layering elements, using a variety of materials and finding balance are great principles to use when decorating a room or a centerpiece for dining table. Ā These are ideas I always keep in mind when styling a neutral fall centerpiece. I hope you found some inspiration today and check out my other fall tablescapes, like this one!
