Fall is upon us, and so it is time to start decorating as such! With this season comes bright pops of color, the Thanksgiving holiday, and a lot of time spent around the table with family and friends. Welcome fall into your home with these fun table decorating ideas brought to you by Kathy McGroarty, a Newtown, PA interior decorator.

• Add Fresh. Fall is a beautiful time of year when the leaves change from green to beautiful shades of red, orange, and yellow and festive vegetables sprout up from the ground. Bring fall into your home by decorating with fresh cut fall flowers like Mums, Sedums, or Goldenrods. Arrange these blooms in a vase to create a beautiful seasonal centerpiece for your living or dining room table.
• Add Comfort. Create a warm, comforting feeling around your dining room table with a decorative bowl of chestnuts as a centerpiece. This fall-friendly treat will put smiles on your guest’s faces and warm their hearts for the coming holiday season. You can also achieve the same welcoming look with miniature pumpkins or ornamental leaves!
• Add Gourd-geous. Gourds are a traditional fall vegetable. Hollow out a gourd and add fall berries and greenery to create a unique centerpiece for your table. For extra fall flare, incorporate feathers into the design. Create one for yourself and one to have at the ready as a hostess gift.
• Add Glitz. Spruce up your tablescape with a bit of glitz and glam. Look for glitter-covered branches or pumpkins at your local craft store to use throughout your table spread. Use these elements to create seating labels for your guests. Another way to add glamour to your table is to incorporate metallic candle holders and vases to sophisticate the glitz.
• Add Light. Create an eye-catching centerpiece that will illuminate your dining room with chunky, colorful pillar candles. They’re just as beautiful unlit as they are when they’re aglow! Light them when you have friends or family over to create a warm fall ambiance. If you have young children or pets, invest in the flameless candles that are battery operated to ease your mind and still create a stunning table spread.
• Add Sophistication. Nothing classes up the appearance of a formal dining room like lace. Adding a festive lace tablecloth can beautifully accent a table. Choose a table cloth ornamented with fall foliage to create an elegant and timeless look.
• Add Aroma. Potpourri is a fall staple. Decorate your table with an aromatic centerpiece filled with the scents of fall. From pumpkin to cinnamon and apple, there are a variety of scents to choose from. Create place settings with small candle holders full of potpourri for each of your guests to take home and enjoy.

As the days grow shorter and the weather grows colder, decorate your home with the warm elements of fall. Incorporating any of these festive ideas into your home’s table decorations will bring the fun of the season inside.
