- Fine China – Fine china should always be included in a dining table setting. Fine china adds a classy, traditional element to the tablescape.
- Linens – Adding table linens or napkins is the perfect opportunity to add a pop of color to your design. There are so many beautiful autumn hues to choose from!
- Layers and textures – Add layers and textures to your design to create a collected, sophisticated look. Create layers and textures in your design through patterns and fabrics.
Inexpensive Fall Decor:
As stated above, decorating for fall doesn’t have to break the bank. You can get a beautiful fall look for an affordable price. I created this entire look for $30!
The easiest way to do this is by using decor your already have in your home. I like to use traditional, timeless home decor throughout my home. By doing this, I can easily make small changes here and there to completely change up my design when I’m in the mood to redecorate. I also do this, because it makes seasonal decorating so much easier and cheaper. Use items you already have in your home and pair them with a few seasonal decor pieces.
I already had the place mats, fine china, brass tray, vase, and greenery. I use those pieces year round and implement small seasonal decor when necessary. All I had to purchase for this fall dining table decor idea were the pumpkins, linens, napkin rings, and floral arrangement pieces.
You can also save so much money by using the nature around you. Fall is the most beautiful time of year so get outside and collect leaves, branches, and berries to add to your centerpiece floral arrangement. It won’t even cost you a dime to get started!
The last tip I have for gathering inexpensive fall decor is to shop the sales! Each item pictured in this fall dining table decor inspiration is from Hobby Lobby. Every other week Hobby Lobby runs a 40% off sale. Shop your seasonal decor during those prime times. The 40% really adds up to major savings!
Fall Dining Table Decor: Easy Fall Centerpieces
Wondering how to create the perfect fall centerpiece? I’ve got you coveted! A centerpiece is a must have decor piece for a stunning fall dining tablescape. And creating one is a lot simpler than you may think.
Start with a simple vase or small planter. No need to go buy a new one. Recycle one you already have. Then start by adding greenery as your base. Then add flowers. For a fall bouquet I suggest mums, marigolds, petunias, or hydrangeas. Next, add some fall leaves and branches into the mix. Top it off with some fall berries and you have a gorgeous fall bouquet as your centerpiece. Use similar autumn hues throughout your floral arrangements.

Fall Dining Table Decor Ideas
When designing my own fall dining table, I started out by first looking at some inspiration pictures to see what I liked. I always head to Pinterest for inspiration. Don’t forget to pin these for later and follow me on Pinterest for all the home decor inspiration!
I noticed every design I liked had the same color palette. I loved hues of blues paired with burnt orange and I knew my classic Blue Willow china would be perfect paired with this fall color palette.
Then I got started on creating the centerpiece. I knew I wanted a big floral arrangement and possibly another fall decor item. When I saw how cheap the pumpkins were I knew that’s what I wanted to pair with my floral arrangement.
I chose 3 pumpkins with different textures to add dimension to the design. The orange velvet one is my favorite. Velvet is the fabric of the season this year! Definitely incorporate it into your home decor where you can.
Next, I began thinking of the table settings I wanted. I went with my woven placemats and built on those.
Then I added with my classic Blue Willow china and traditional white china. Next, I layered each plate and saucer for a sophisticated look.
On top I placed my table napkin with a brass napkin ring to compliment the brass tray.
With each design element implemented, you can create well curated fall dining table! One that is super affordable, easy to decorate, and filled with dimension and beautiful autumn hues! I hope you enjoyed these fall dining table decor ideas!
