It’s Time for Fall Tablescape
September has arrived and with it visions of red and gold falling leaves, crisp apples and long walks during cool days. I am so fortunate to be able to enjoy all these Fall treats. Another special treat awaits you today as I join with 20 talented and creative bloggers to present a “Welcome Fall Tablescape Blog Hop”. The wonderful Rita of Panoply has put together a fabulous group of ladies to give you so many ideas for decorating your table this Fall. I know you will really enjoy seeing all these wonderful table settings. So pour yourself a cup of coffee or tea and get comfortable as you enjoy this great look at Fall.
If you’re visiting from Dinner at Eight didn’t she put together a terrific tablescape. If you are new to the Blog…welcome! I am so excited to share my Fall tablescape with you today.
My Morning Room is ready for Fall with warm colors and a nice casual feel to the table. Along the back wall you can see some wooden pumpkins and wine boxes welcoming the Fall season. The paintings you see are all in Fall colors of browns and reds and depict quiet country gathering spaces that invite you to linger and enjoy.
The jumping off point for this tablescape was the table cloth. A multitude of leaves in Fall reds, oranges, greens and browns on a neutral background set the tone.
The place setting uses a woven red charger as it’s base. A wooden trencher comes next in warm brown tones. Next is the dessert/salad plate in vibrant fall colors that pull together the colors in the table cloth. An Italian soup bowl in red and orange completes the plate stack. Amber flatware wrapped in a beautiful stainless steel design pulls in the oranges in the table cloth and dessert plate.
Here’s a closer look, in the pictures above, of the plate stack. Did you know that trenchers began as three-day old slabs of bread which held your food. After eating the food the bread “trenchers” were given to the poor.
Matching water and wine goblets with a lovely leaf pattern compliment the table setting. These are “Lady Anne” from Gorham.
I found these really sweet, wooden, apple napkin rings in barn red at a Thrift Store a few years ago. I think they make the perfect addition to the table. The napkins are a cotton/linen blend in a pretty green.
The hydrangea and dahlia centerpiece is replaced during dessert by a fruit and cheese tray. The colors are still those of Fall with the shapes adding interest to the table. Both centerpieces feature wooden containers that tie in with the wooden trenchers at the base of the plate stack.
Such fun to play with color and shapes to create a Welcome Fall Tablescape that everyone can relax and enjoy.
The gallery wall is decorated for Fall. A few handmade items are sprinkled in with the mostly Thrift Store finds. I like the eclectic, relaxed look it gives the room. Everything included in the tablescape was thrifted.

Beautiful fall table, I almost bought those Pier 1 plates when I saw them in the store, before they went to online sales only. Your textural elements really give the table a rustic fall theme.
Hi Lynne, your pretty fall plates complement your tablecloth perfectly! Your floral centerpiece is also lovely! Blessings, Cecilia @My Thrift Store Addiction
Love all the Fall colors. They are so vibrant. Always enjoy “hopping” with you. thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Lynne
I like how your sideboard coordinates with your table in your morning room. Your centerpiece is pretty, but the charcuterie board is my favorite! ;P
Your plate stack is so unique, and all elements remind me of fall, especially the apple red Italian soup bowls. They are fantastic. You have definitely welcomed fall in your pretty morning room. I like everything about your decor!
I love charcuterie boards. This one was pretty simple but I have done themed ones and ones specific to holidays. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Have a wonderful week.
Lynne
gorgeous table setting. You really captured the essence of Fall.
Fall is one of my favorite seasons so it’s always fun to put together a table setting using Fall as an inspiration. /thanks for joining me and commenting.
Lynne
You have so many thrifted finds that I bet it’s hard for you to even choose which ones to use for a tablescape, Lynne! But the nice thing is you’ve already put together several tablescapes, and you continue churning them out, to play with the seasons. This is a really nice table setting, and I was not familiar with the use of trenches! The colors are really nice here, and I especially love the flatware and the alternative use of flowers and wine and cheese trays as centerpieces! I love your gallery shelving that allows you to switch things up so easily on the wall behind your morning room table. Very nicely put together. Thanks for joining in the welcome fall blog hop. Happy September!
It’s always a pleasure to participate in a “hop” you’ve put together. I really enjoy working with this deep Fall colors. My Hubby I the one responsible for building the shelving in the Morning Room and he did a great job. Makes it so easy to switch out decor from one season to another. Thanks for visiting and commenting.
Lynne
Lynne, thank you for sharing your beautiful tableware and linens and creative styling adding wood cutting boards as chargers. Your flatware is swoon-worthy! I especially love the inspiration to use the wine and cheese tray as a centerpiece. That works so well with fall and grape harvest season.
Thanks, Debbie. Love mixing wood, china and crystal on the table. The flatware is made in Italy and, I think, reflects the European style. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Lynne
Your table is beautiful Lynne, I love how you coordinated the tablecloth with the plate stacks and floral centerpiece, so many lovely Fall colors and textures~ my favorite element are the Pier 1 plates, love those! I’ve not heard of trenchers before, they are beautiful! So smart to remove the centerpiece to serve the cheese course~ your sideboard looks lovely too, Happy Fall!
Jenna
Love all these Fall colors. The Pier 1 plates are some of my favorites and I use them in Spring and Fall. Lovely to “hop” with you.
Lynne
Lynne what a beautiful Autumn table setting you have. I like the rustic elements and I didn’t know the story behind the trenchers. So interesting. I hope you are enjoying Autumn or Fall…and it is a pleasure to hop with you.
Thanks, Kari. Always a pleasure to hop with you, too. I think the trenchers date back to Medieval times. I like the rustic look and they are great for cheese and fruit. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Lynne
Thanks for your educational read. I am partial to your woven red chargers & the flatware (brand?) that I’ve not seen before.
Hi Robin. The chargers are some of my favorites because they are such a large size. The flatware is “France Shine” and the color is steel orange pearl by Domus Design. The flatware is made in Italy. I hadn’t seen it before either. Thanks for visiting and commenting.

Lynne, your table sets the mood for fall. The leaf tablecloth is a lovely background for your plate stack. Interesting info about the trenchers that I was unaware of. The cheese course is always a favorite of mine. Wishing you a delightful autumn!
Thanks, Pam. Charcuterie always seems to please. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Have a great Fall.
Lynne
Lynne you’ve put together a rich display of Fall colors and textures, just beautiful. The silverware is incredible! I’m always keeping an eye out for silverware when thrifting.
Thrifting is always such an adventure. Thanks for visiting and commenting.
Lynne
Lynne, your morning room is certainly a welcoming sight. I love the rich earthy colors you have used on the table and around the room. The colors and textures definitely say autumn. Well done! Happy Fall!
Thanks so much. It was a pleasure “Hopping” with you. Enjoy this beautiful Autumn.
Lynne
Fall has arrived in your Morning Room Lynne! Your fall leaves tablecloth makes the perfect foundation for your table. Love the pretty shape and edges of your poppy plates with their beautiful autumnal colors, Italian soup bowl and amber flatware. The trenchers and woven mats add warmth and texture to anchor your settings. As always, it’s a treat to join you at the table and hop with you. Happy September!
Fall is such a wonderful season with wonderful colors and textures everywhere you look. Hope you have a great one. Always a pleasure “hopping” with you.
Lynne
How interesting to see a trencher and learn about them. Your dahlia and limelight centerpiece is lovely on your beautiful fall tablecloth. Love your plates, flatware, and Italian soup bowls.
Happy September.
Found them in a Thrift Store and revitalized them so they look quite nice now. They are a bit different and fun for Fall. Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting.
Lynne
Lynne, your morning room says fall is here. The rich warm colors and that gorgeous tablecloth. The centerpiece is lovely with hydrangea and dahlias. Love that your replace them with a charcuterie board. The poppy plates are so pretty. Love that you decorated your buffet as well. A pleasure joining you.
Always fun to hope with you, Linda. Fall is such a great season. Happy Fall!
Lynne
Beautiful table for fall, Lynne, and replacing the centerpiece with a cheese and fruit tree is such a wonderful idea! I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone do that before. That’s what I love about your blog – you are so inventive 🙂
Maybe I’m odd, but for me, the bread trench would be hard to part with… LOL
Happy fall, friend,
Rachelle
Funny, I thought the same thing about the bread trencher. I’ve found Blogs to be a wonderful way to meet new Friends in a supportive community. Love being a part of it all. Thanks, Rachelle. Happy Fall to you.
Lynne
That is such a lovely table and just screams “fall is here” to me. I love that floral centerpiece too.
Fall colors are such fun to work with and, for me, Fall is also filled with drying herbs and flowers. It’s great to be able to carry the garden into the winter. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Lynne
I love this table setting, especially noting the cutlery!
I really like the flatware, too. It was a good find. I don’t use it too often but it’s perfect for Fall. Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting.
Lynne
Those red soup bowls are something special. Love the wooden napkin rings too. Beautiful flowers in all the fall colors really set the tone of your fall table.
Appreciate the comments. Thanks for stopping by.
Lynne
I love the deep colors you have chosen for your Time for Fall Tablescape. I usually prefer the deep rich colors like you are displaying. I have to admit I had no idea what a trencher was or of course the story about the old bread. Your plates are so pretty, I love the pattern on them, and your bowls have me dreaming of cooler weather and hot bowls of chili or soup! Happy September!
It was interesting to find out the history of trenchers. Fun to use them in a table setting. Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting.
Lynne
I really enjoyed your fall table colors and textures! Such lovely combinations! I particularly liked the reds you pulled in for the placemats and napkin rings to emphasize the red poppies in the salad plates. I’ve often admired square-shaped dishes, but didn’t know what to pair them with. The trenchers were a great solution! Thanks for the shout-out at the beginning of your post.
My pleasure. It’s always great to “hop” with you.
Lynne
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing on Crafty Creators!
