5 Fall Tablescape Ideas
This may sound lame, but this is actually the first “tablescape” I have ever put together. Sure I have set the table and bought special runners or placemats for holidays, but never really decorated the table. And… I also recently sold our dining table because I was using it more for projects than sitting at to eat, which is a little embarrassing to admit.
However, living in an apartment sometimes means you have to get a little creative to gain the extra space you need. We decided we could use our dining room for furniture projects instead. Luckily, we don’t have kids yet so it wasn’t too tough of a decision and it works really well for us right now. That being said, I can’t wait until we have a house!
For my neutral fall tablescape, I actually headed over to my sister’s house and “borrowed” her table. She did get to keep a lot of the items I used, including the plates, awesome glasses, and book pumpkins, so it was a win-win.
I was inspired by vintage finds, items around the house, and neutral, rustic elements. I had a lot of fun putting it together and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do!
What I used for my fall tablescape:
The twine, burlap, lace, ribbons, kraft tags, mason jars and wine bottles I already had on hand. I rescued the books from heading to the trash and turned them into place setting pumpkins (click here for my tutorial on DIY Paper Book pumpkins). I found the stemware at a thrift store, bought the plates on clearance at Target, the placemats, tapered candles and napkins are from World Market,most of which was 50% off, and the wheat and baby pine cones are from Michael’s.
I has trouble finding real wheat and pine cones nearby when I was putting my table together since it was August, but I think real wheat would have been much wispier and romantic. You can also probably find real pine cones in your backyard now. So what do you think?

I love your sisters table! And your tablescape looks great–I’ll have to remember the burlap wrapped silverware!
Upcycled Treasures
Thank you Ashley, and I love her table too 🙂 I actually wrapped the silverware in twine and it was super easy, no glue or anything, just tied it off at the top and bottom.

I am swooning over these tablescapes! It makes me wish the cool weather would hurry up and arrive in Georgia already.
Upcycled Treasures
Me too! This Georgia weather has definitely been strange all summer. I’m definitely ready for the cooler weather though AND the starbucks pumpkin latte!

Hi Katie,
What a beautiful table! I love the
pumpkins! They remind me of all
the readers digests we use to fold
for holiday decorations when I
was a child! Thanks for sharing and
for the memories.
Bear Hugs,
Carolyn

Thank you Carolyn! I have heard about these readers digest decorations and am pretty sure we have some lying around here that I will need to recycle into some fun holiday crafts…

Upcycled Treasures
It’s very easy and doesn’t take too long either 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
Kristen @ It Comes Full Circle
Wow, Katie – your tablescape looks so great. Your sister’s table is drool-worthy, too! My favorite thing is the twine around the silverware – how did you get it to stay on there? Hot glue? I love it all!
Upcycled Treasures
Hi Kristen, I actually tied a knot in the twine towards the top of the silverware, but let one side of the twine hang down a little past the bottom of the the silverware and then wrapped the other side of the twin around it {and the silverware} until I got to the bottom and tied them off together. I have no idea if that makes any sense, lol, so I may have to write a quick post with some photos later on.

Everyone’s tablescapes look great…but I honestly think that I like yours the best! I especially like the candlesticks in the little jars with the little pinecones. Such a great idea!!
Upcycled Treasures
Aww, thank you so much Brooke!
Tammy
Every year I struggle with my silverware wanting more of a fall color look I just love this idea with the twine… so going to do this this year! Thank you for sharing and the inspiration!
Cindy @ Diy beautify
These are so great!! I love crafting with book pages..am excited to give these a try. I am wondering how you got your candles to stand up straight in the jar of pinecones? Is it sturdy enough not to wobble? Looks so cute, but I have kids who are always bumping the table…it would be really bad if a candle went flying!!!
Upcycled Treasures
Hi Cindy, I put the candle in first and held it in place while I placed the small pine cones around it. They actually kept in straight in the jar and the candle didn’t budge 🙂 Flying candles would definitely be bad!
Pamela
These are all great inspirations!
