Quick Tips for Styling a Fall Table Centerpiece
Before you dive in, here are a few simple tips to make any fall centerpiece look pulled together—whether it’s on your dining table, coffee table, or kitchen counter:
- Stick to a color palette (like rust + cream or gold + green) to keep things cohesive.
- Mix textures like wood, glass, fabric, and metal for that cozy layered look.
- Add height with candles or a vase, but keep things low if you’re actually using the table to eat.
- Ground it with a base a tray, table runner, or even a folded scarf works great.
- Use what you have. Candles, bowls, books—then add some pumpkins or fall florals to make it seasonal.
