Fall Tabletop Trends, continued ...
More about mixing and matching the latest ideas of the season.
Jewel Tones
This season vibrant jewels dress the trendiest of tabletops. Eggplant, teal, ruby and gold add a rich sensibility. For an inexpensive yet elegant napkin ring, take a small strip of leather and spray paint it gold. Hot glue colorful acrylic jewels to the leather and close the ends to form a ring.
Stemless glassware has become a tabletop staple. Update this classic with a colorful version in fall jewel tones. These inexpensive pieces from Target give a luxurious effect.
Organic Elegance
Green is the new black. With sustainability remaining a pertinent daily issue, design trends consistently reflect the growing concern for the environment. Natural materials like wood, bamboo and hemp are definitely being incorporated in to the tabletop in a big way this season. Adding organic elements to the table also adds warmth to a tablescape, and because nature is never perfect, each piece is unique.
A rustic wooden bowl when filled with plums, artichokes, or figs becomes a beautiful fall centerpiece.
These wool place mats are a wonderful element to add to your fall tabletop. Plus, wool seems to go well with the fall. I enjoy adding a variety of textures and shapes to my tabletop. These are offered in a variety of unique colors with a unique shaped perforated design. You can mix and match colors for place mats or use a couple as a decorative centerpiece.
