1. Keep It Cozy With a Rustic Round Table Centerpiece
A wood table already has such a warm, cozy feel, but a small tray in the center of the table really makes it special.
I love this simple pitcher with dried stems, a few candles, and one small seasonal accent.
2. Add a Soft Seasonal Touch With Autumn Leaves and Candles
The prettiest centerpieces are sometimes the simplest ones, don’t you think?
A table runner, a vase of soft fall branches, and a pair of skinny candles are so easy and so beautiful.
It feels so relaxed and natural…perfect for weeknight dinners or a quiet Sunday meal.
3. Create a Pumpkin Glow With Tapers and Gourds
Pumpkins and candlelight are such a classic fall combination.
Tuck a mix of real or faux pumpkins down the center of your table, then place tall tapers in between them.
The glow is so warm and inviting, and the whole arrangement feels festive without being fussy.
4. Bring Fall Charm Outdoors with a Pumpkin-Lantern Display
When dining outside, a simple mix of pumpkins and lanterns makes the table feel special.
A few branches or leaves give it a natural touch, and when the lanterns are lit, it has that magical cozy fall glow.
5. Brighten Your Table with a Sunflower and Pumpkin Mix
Sunflowers really are so happy, aren’t they?
They bring such energy to fall decorating.
I love how they feel fresh and full of life mixed with a few small pumpkins or seasonal berries.
They’re a great way to bring some beautiful fall color to your dining space, especially if your table feels a little neutral.
6. Make It Playful With a Pumpkin Vase and Seasonal Accents
I love the idea of using a pumpkin as a vase, real or faux.
Fill it up with autumn stems with leaves in deep oranges and reds. Add a candle, along with one or two little seasonal accents.
It’s festive, but not over-the-top, and it works just as well for everyday as it does for a fall gathering.
7. Keep It Minimal With White Stems and Neutral Tones
Sometimes a simple seasonal centerpiece is best.
A large vase with a few branches, some seasonal linens or dinnerware, all in white or neutral colors, can make for a really clean and peaceful table.
It also lets the classic fall colors around it pop without competing.
8. Contrast Metals and Pumpkins for Warmth
Combining brass candlesticks with soft white or muted orange pumpkins makes for such a pretty pairing.
The metals in warm tones pick up the autumn colors without being too matchy-matchy, and the pumpkins ground it in fall.
Together, it’s a look that’s both elegant and casual.
9. Layer Textures in a Dough Bowl With Pumpkins and Branches
A dough bowl is such a great vessel for a centerpiece.
Fill one up with pumpkins, branches, pinecones, or anything else you want.
The different textures feel so collected, like something that’s been put together over time.
It’s cozy and effortless.
10. Fill Amber Glass With Wheat or Grasses
Amber glass has such a cozy, vintage look to it.
Filling a few jars with wheat or dried grasses immediately gives you that fall feeling.
It’s so easy, yet it still feels thoughtful and seasonal.
You could set it up in minutes and still have time to make dinner.
11. Don’t Forget About Jack-O’-Lantern Centerpieces
Carved pumpkins don’t have to live on the porch.
Bringing a few jack-o’-lanterns to the table (even small clay ones!) adds a nice Halloween touch.
Fill them with candles for a glow that feels festive and fun or add little votive candles on the table.
It’s perfect for family dinners.
12. Balance Deep Fall Foliage with Blue Highlights
Deep, autumn branches feel bold and beautiful paired with blue accents like vases, dishes or linens.
The colors work so well together, giving your table a nice twist on classic fall decor.
It feels unexpected, yet balanced and elegant with a small rustic touch!
13. Dress up a Wooden Caddy for a Rustic Seasonal Decor Display
A wooden caddy or box makes such a charming base for a centerpiece.
Fill it with mini pumpkins, jars of fall stems, or even a few candles.
It creates a beautiful table but it’s practical, too… easy to lift and move when you’re clearing the table.
14. Add Pumpkins and a Checked Table Runner for a Festive Look
There’s something about a classic checked runner that gives such a cozy vibe!
Add a line of pumpkins in different sizes down the center, and you’ve got a festive look that feels simple but pulled together.
It works beautifully for both everyday meals and casual gatherings.
15. Combine Copper, Greenery and Pumpkins for Elegant Dining
Copper pieces bring a soft glow to a fall table.
Pair them with faux greenery and pumpkins for a centerpiece that feels elegant without being too formal.
It’s a lovely way to elevate a dinner party while still keeping things relaxed.
16. Add Some Character with Mossy Witch Hats and Pumpkins
For a centerpiece with personality, try mixing in a few moss-covered witch hats among your pumpkins.
It’s playful yet earthy, and it adds just the right amount of Halloween charm without going over the top.
And if you’re already dreaming up spooky season, you might love my Halloween table decor ideas for even more festive inspiration.

Fresh flowers (or even faux flowers) are one of my favorite ways to brighten up my dining room table.
18. Keep Things Natural with Pampas Grass and a Simple Runner
Pampas grass adds soft texture and height to a fall centerpiece.
Paired with a plain runner and maybe a couple of candles, it creates an airy, natural look.
It’s perfect for anyone who loves a more understated style and creates such an inviting fall table!
19. Style a Rustic Box with Candles, Leaves, and Pumpkins
An easy DIY is styling a box with candles, pumpkins, and a few fall leaves for that little extra texture.
It’s a cozy little centerpiece that feels collected and homey, plus the candle glow is just right.
20. Go Bold with Oversized Branches and an Eclectic Display
If your tablescape is bold, embrace it with an overscale fall arrangement of tall branches in a big vase.
When it’s the centerpiece, shorter pumpkins or candles around the base are the perfect complement.
Branches are a great way to make your table the room’s real focal point!
