A Festive Fall Tablescape

This home is the first one I’ve been in that has a proper “dining room”. My past apartments and rentals have all been small enough that we just had one eating area, which was usually a very casual space. I love that we have a dining set now and can host more than just a couple of people comfortably! While we don’t currently have any plans for extravagant dinner parties or hosting a large group, I wanted to dress up our dining space a bit for the season, since it’s right in the center of our main floor. This year, I’ve been decorating in warm tones, with texture and some natural elements, so I knew I wanted to carry on that theme in our dining room.

Everything that I used can be found at Walmart! Their harvest/seasonal collection this year happens to be directly in line with how I am decorating – lots of natural elements, texture, muted colors and affordable price points. I had a hard time narrowing down which items to pick out to use since there were a lot of good options! My favorite find has to be this $18 table runner. It works well with my seasonal decor, and I’ll be able to use it to create other centerpieces for other seasons.

I wanted to add some warmth and coziness to the setup, so I opted for these pretty metal lanterns with LED candles inside. I love that I can just flip the candles on with a click of the remote and instantly set the mood for a warm, festive meal. To add some texture to the table, I opted for this garland, which comes with little pinecones, pumpkins, and berries attached. It took a lot of the work out of it for me, since it’s a pretty full garland! I finished with a few pumpkins and some small decorative filler to a couple of the “holes” and that was it! Simple, easy, and budget-friendly!

When it comes time to host or just have a sit-down dinner at the table with Mike, I’ll set the pumpkins to the side to make room on the table. I counted pass up this cute and functional serving tray either! I’m picturing it to be used as a cheese board, to hold a loaf of bread (or two!), or to fill with desserts. While not in use, it doubles as decor! I love a decorative element that serves more than on purpose.

Do you plan to decorate for the season or create a fall tablescape? Even if you’re not decorating other rooms in your home, it’s a fun way to add some festivity to your living space! After all, fall is the best season of the year, so you might as well bring it inside, too!
