By now you may know that I love color. Like LOVE it. So it should be no surprise that despite the season change from summer to fall, color is still very well alive in my house. There is no such thing as neutral decor from my perspective and fall decor is no exception. After redecorating the living room for fall a few weeks ago, I started to get the itch to expand into more areas of my home with my fall inspired decor. The first logical step was to decorate my dining table and kitchen table.

As you can see here
on my dining table, I decided to go with the same blue and orange theme that I have going on in my living room. A simple fabric table runner in a turquoise blue chevron print (the fabric is from Premier Prints) was the base of my design. Then I added the center piece which is my white ceramic stag (I believe he originally came from Target). He just feels like fall to me. Next to him I added a silver pine cone, and a faux silver and white pumpkin from the Target Dollar Spot. This is the center point of my design.

Flanking the stag, pine cone, and pumpkin are two leaf bowls that I picked up at Pier 1 several years ago that are filled with a random fragrance free silver, green, and blue potpourri. The last thing you want at the dinner table is a nose full of fragrance, but the little bits and bobs really add a nice fall touch. Then come two faux grass plants from Ikea (you may notice that I use these EVERYWHERE!).

Next to the faux grass are two real pumpkins to bring in more of that fall orange color. For the place settings, I used my blue agate coasters and my DIY Rimmed champagne flutes. I love the pop of color that the glasses bring to the table.

For the plates, I used a clearance plastic plate from Target as the charger (covering up the middle design helped give this summer plate a more fall vibe with only the dark blue and yellow showing) and a plain white plate on top. For a little decoration and life, I added some goodies from my garden. Just a sprig of rosemary, a few pieces of baby chard, and a little flower. Doesn’t this simple use of edibles create such a lovely look?

So there you have my fall inspired (yet still completely colorful and full of pattern) table setting. As for my kitchen table which I mentioned, I simply filled the emerald bowl that I usually have sitting in the center of the table with more of these little pumpkins. And I am completely loving the look of the emerald and orange together!

What do you think of this colorful fall decor? Are you bold enough to infuse color into your fall decor? Do you have any go to fall decor items (like me and pumpkins)? Let a girl in on how you bring fall into your home in the comments! I love hearing from you!
