I love styling out this room, despite very rarely having grown-up dinner parties (more like 6 family frat parties). But we had a social campaign with Anthropologie (some new, some I’ve had for a while), so I played around and set it up for those of you looking for some fall, harvest, or most likely Thanksgiving table setting ideas.
I really think this is my color palette these days – blues, greens, with hits of deep burgundy and ochre/mustard. It’s all over the house (I can’t wait to show you the new living room next week). The glasses, cafe bowls, and placemats are also super holiday-appropriate color-wise, should you want to use them year-round.
The things that scream “fall/harvest” specifically are the salad plates, napkins (questionable – those could be more year-round), and the candle holders (so pretty but very delicate). The centerpiece vase is pretty incredible – it lives on my coffee table now with big black Halloween branches 🙂
It’s both colorful and soft, which I love.
White Vase | Bowl | Harvest Plate | Dinner Plate | Plaid Napkin | Flatware (similar) | Placemat | Short Green Wine Glass | Burgundy Wine Glass (no longer available) | Burgundy Vase | Candlestick Holder | Taper Candles (similar)
This was shot on a day we were doing like 5 campaigns so I set it up and told Kaitlin to just go for it while I shot something else with video in the other room (technically we didn’t need to shoot photos, it was just so pretty and I love photography so much, so you may notice a small vase with no flowers in it and some wonky flatware, wrinkles, ec – whoops!). The flowers are from my garden, NBD:)
White Vase
The vase is spendy, for sure – a great heirloom piece or gift for someone (and likely on sales over the holidays). I typically wouldn’t style those brown gingham napkins with these other colors, but i think the brown in the plates and the amber candles help pull everything together.
We rounded up a bunch of our favorite harvest/fall tablescape pieces that are new this year, since some of the pieces above are no longer available. xx
1. Carved Edge Salad Plate | 2. Marin Botanical Stoneware Salad Plate | 3. STRIMMIG Side Plate
If you love having a full, different set of plateware for each holiday/season, more power to you! But a little hack that also saves on storage space is to just switch out your salad plates. Adds a little festive feel, and you can still use your everyday dinner plates.
1. Reactive Glaze Tapas Bowls (Set of 4) | 2. STOCKHOLM 2025 Bowl (Set of 2) | 3. Stoneware Reactive Glaze Bowl (Set of 4)
The same goes for bowls if you want!
1. OMBONAD Wine glass (Set of 4) | 2. OLIVTRAST Glass | 3. Vintage Goblet | 4. Plum Stemless Wine Glass | 5. Grooved Stem All-Purpose Wine Glass (Set of 4) | 6. Acrylic Tumbler | 7. Short Recycled Pint Glass | 8. Harvest Floral Amethyst Etched Glass | 9. Coupe Glass
Pretty glassware never gets old, and if it isn’t “too holiday,” then you can also display it year-round as beautiful decor.
1. Glass Beverage Pitcher | 2. VARDAGEN Pitcher | 3. Marble Wine Chiller
We love a pitcher because it can be used as an actual pitcher OR a vase.
1. Eider Brown Glass Bud Vase | 2. Amber Icon Embellished Glass Bud Vase | 3. Essential Stoneware Table Vase
Speaking of vases, we would suggest choosing one main large one with a couple more small vases, or just small vases. You want to be able to talk AND see the people across the table from you.
1. Alcantara Frederic Leather Wrapped Candle Holder | 2. Milano Small Green Glass Taper Candle Holder | 3. Mina Tall Taper Candle Holder
Boy, are we suckers for great candle holders. They don’t block the view, add dimension, and of course, ambience.
1. Plum Beeswax Candle | 2. Pumpkin Orange Dipped Taper Candles (Set of 2) | 3. Acorn Beeswax Candles (Set of 10)
For more added dimension, fun candles are a great way to get that! You can choose an interesting shape or just go for a colorful taper.
1. Fall Glass Pumpkins (Set of 3) | 2. Papier Mache Pumpkin Placecard Holders (Set of 4) | 3. Woven Pumpkins (Set of 6)
Is it a harvest or Thanksgiving table without at least one pumpkin??
1. Washed Spice Orange Linen Napkin with Fringe Trim (Set of 4) | 2. Plaid Napkins (Set of 4) | 3. Floral Napkins (Set of 4) | 4. Ivory and Chestnut Border Block Printed Napkins (Set of 4) | 5. Block Print Ruffle Napkins (Set of 2) | 6. Marin Walnut Linen Buffalo Check Napkin
There are so many great cloth napkins on the market. They can add instant color and pattern.
1. Woven Charger (Set of 2) | 2. Round Placemat | 3. Reversible Placemat Scallop (Set of 2) | 4. Olive Woven Placemat (Set of 2) | 5. VÅRARV Place Mat | 6. Mason Handwoven Cotton Fringe Placemat (Set of 4)
The same goes for placemats, and these are all great.
1. Fall Plaid Oversized Runner | 2. Marin Spruce Green Buffalo Check Linen Table Runner | 3. Autumn Botanical Linen Runner
And if you want to go all out, also include a runner! Or you could simple and skip the placemats and just use a runner.
1. Dutch Bread Oven | 2. Floral Porcelain Soup Tureen | 3. Wavy Edge Soup Terrine
Of course, a pretty lidded dish for those “need to keep hot” foods might as well be pretty, right?
1. Oval Stoneware Floral Serving Dish | 2. Large Stoneware Cabbage Serving Bowl | 3. Floral Earthenware Serving Dish
Then serving platters is where we think your personality can really shine. Are you “Colorful folk”? “Whimsical Produce Lover”? “New Classic”? Your platters can take you there:)
1. Le Creuset Pumpkin Butter Dish | 2. Carved Edge Gravy Boat | 3. Stoneware Butter Dish with Knife
And finally, to top it off, might as well also have a great butter and/or gravy boat on the table. That sweet Le Creuset one is pricey, but is one that could even be passed down.
That’s kind of the special part about festive tableware: you create so many memories over these dishes, vases, and even table linens that likely the next generation will want at least some of them for their homes. Decor is something that holds memories, and that’s what we love about it. Happy table setting, everyone!
