It’s finally fall… one of our favorite times of the year when it comes to seasonal home decor! And the first thing on our list to decorate? The dining table of course! Fall is all about cozy cider, apple pies, and warm meals with family. So it’s only natural that the dining table should be first on your list to decorate! To help you get inspired, we’ve put together a thorough list of DIY Fall centerpiece ideas. Get ready to fall in love with your dining table!
Whether you’re in need of a gorgeous Thanksgiving dinner centerpiece for your table or just want your dining table looking extra spiffy for the season, you’re sure to find something to suit your style. We’ve got ideas from minimalist foliage to elaborate pumpkin tablescapes perfect to get your table looking festive for the season.
Candles, Pumpkins and Mums:
You may already know from our post on decorating with pumpkins and gourds that we’re big fans of a pumpkin centerpiece. Add some mums and candles for a little extra whimsical fall vibes and you’ve got a beautiful tablescape! This tray design by Azure Farm Life is a great example.
Vintage Tool Box Fall Centerpiece Idea
Whether you find a cute wooden, vintage toolbox at a thrift shop or make one yourself, this is a great base to try out your floral design skills! The combination of rustic, aged wood and fall foliage and fruits really adds the cozy fall vibes to your table. You can thank Dabbling and Decorating for this fun DIY centerpiece idea for Fall.
Fall Table Decor using Natural Materials
We believe fall decor is all about decorating with natural elements. This can mean pumpkins on the front porch, decorating with branches and moss in vases, or putting everything on display on your table! This idea by The Tattered Pew does just that, and we’re loving it!
Easy Dough Bowl DIY Fall Centerpiece
Nothing says Fall quite like dough bowls and pumpkins! Put them together and add some floral touches for a gorgeous bit of table decor! The Turquoise Home combined some gorgeous colors in this beautiful example.
Easy Fall Sunflower Centerpiece
Want to keep things floral-focused? We love floral arrangements as a focal point, and sunflowers are the way to go for Fall! They keep things light and bright but still feel reminiscent of pumpkin patches, scarecrows, and cozy weather. I love the way 2 Bees in a Pod has styled this vase of sunflowers for some floral inspiration in our list of DIY Fall centerpiece ideas.
Fall Amber Jar Centerpiece
Amber glass jars are the perfect color to go with your other fall decor. Better yet, you can use them year after year! It’s also super fun to go thrifting for these to see what kind of fun shapes and sizes you can find. I love the simplicity of this tablescape by Liz Marie – just amber glass, candles, and a few natural elements.
Fall Branches
I love decorating with branches for Fall- it’s such a fun way to bring the beauty of the outdoors in. As the leaves change, so does your easy DIY fall centerpiece! I love the partially changing leaves in this idea by Sanctuary Home Decor.
Pumpkins and Gourds
Now, back to the star of the show! DIY Fall centerpiece ideas using pumpkins and gourds are a natural fit for the season. I love that this design by Anderson and Grant puts a unique spin on the color scheme. Keeping things monochrome with different shades of green creates a more subtly “fall” look.
Fall Garland
To elegantly decorate a long dining room table, drape a garland of foliage along the length of it. Then, finish the look with pumpkins and candles dotted alongside as Modern Glam does here. A simple color palette of green and white keeps things elegant and minimalist.
White Pumpkin Tablescape with Warm Accents
In an example similar to the previous idea but a bit more done-up, Sanctuary Home Decor completes their tablescape with a central pumpkin floral arrangement perfect for Fall. I love the contrast of the white pumpkins with just a pop or orange mums and the addition of acorns to tie everything together.
