Fall Table Decorations: Styling a Soft and Neutral Fall Table Setting

  • Facebook
  • Twitter

In this post: Are you looking for fall table decorations with understated color? Be inspired by this neutral fall table setting in blush pink and brown.⇒

A Soft and Neutral Fall Table Setting | Designthusiasm.com

White pumpkins, soft colors, neutral everything…

it feels like I’m seeing these things everywhere and yet it’s just where my own aesthetic head is right now, too.

It’s not that I completely hate orange, and I am planning to get more into richer fall colors as the season progresses, but for right now, I’m all about the soft warmth the change of seasons brings.

So, for today’s post I’m talking about how to style a soft and neutral fall table setting.

A Soft and Neutral Fall Table Setting | Designthusiasm.com

By now, most of my readers well know about my penchant for dressing my tables in scarves and blankets, so this table was no different.

I began with a very cuddly tan plaid blanket that would be quite comfortable in a stadium, and that served as my underpinning. The neutral tones drove my color palette while the scrumptious wooly feel forecast the season.

The plate stack is bolstered by warm brown rattan chargers, topped with tonal cream dinner plates and subtly patterned salad plates with French dessert motifs.

(See source list at the bottom of the post.)

For napkins I used my soft blush linens with ruffled edging, clasped within a copper ring. The pale rosy tone offers just a hint of color, imparting warmth while staying nearly neutral.

I love the contrast of linen against wool, masculine and feminine, summer and fall.

I found roses with just a whisper of color and added eucalyptus for its romantic wispy drape.

Glassware flutes in pale pink once again add a rosy glow. There’s a dryness to this color palette that ensures it’s reading neutral, and yet the infusion of warm tones keeps it fresh and new.

Ubiquitous copper mule mugs are a fun addition, and the blush tones on the table draw out the red undertones in the copper.

We’ve seen these mugs everywhere and yet they look once again fresh to me here, adding a tiny bit of gleam to an otherwise decidedly chalky palette.

I tried the floral in several receptacles until I felt satisfied with the silver teapot.

I always enjoy a mix of metals and this one felt right. I begin my tables with a very clear plan of color, concept and pattern, but when I get to this stage of styling the details I’m often working by instinct.

These lovely woodsy cheese knives are from my blog friend Tina from the Enchanted Home. When you visit her tablescape at the bottom of this post, you can take a detour over to her shop.

The tufted chair is a tiny sneak peek at a very special post I have coming up later this week.

I added the vintage books to prop up the centerpiece and to add a note of pedigree to the table. The charming worn leather patina felt at home on this table.

I enjoy mixing chairs styles around my table and the cane back chairs mix nicely with the lushly tufted ones.

This is probably the last look you’ll get at the tile floor I’ve hated since the day we moved in. It was ripped up just this week and is in the process of being replaced. I can’t wait to reveal the renovations going on in the kitchen!

And what’s a fall table without a few scattered pumpkins? I just love these white craft ones for their color and their texture.

The light coming through our windows makes this breakfast room a delightful place for a meal. In fact, I often prefer eating in here over serving in the dining room.

Have you got a favorite spot for a meal in your home?

There are countless different ways to style a fall table and they often revolve around interesting color palettes.

It is, no doubt, the season of color.

But not always the same colors, used in the same way!

    It’s stunning, and the perfect segway from summer into fall, it has a slight fall theme but not overly so, the soft colors keep it feeling light and airy. Just lovely!

    Once again you have hit a home run. Love the copper and silver mix. May I ask where the chair pad on your Cain chair is available??

      Thanks, Diane!! The chair pad actually came with the chair which is the Darcy chair from Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic. I was going to link to the chairs and then saw they are no longer on the website. Sometimes you can find them on ebay. But I’ve also seen similar pads available individually. If I can find some I’ll add the link in… 🙂

    It would be so easy to cozy up to this soft table and linger for a very long time. The texture and colors work so well together and the copper accents are right on point.

    Hi Lori,
    Your tablescape is beautiful! I especially love those books! I collect books, most are just vintage but on a rare lucky day I’ve found some amazing 100-year-old books for a reasonable price.

    The mixing of metals is beautiful, too!

    Thank you for sharing with Thursday Favorite Things. I featured your blog this week.
