Simple Tips for Creating a Fall Farmhouse Table Setting

I am a very simple decorator when it comes to decorating for the holidays in our home. I do not like storing totes away in the closet at the end of the season. Therefore, I often turn to nature to gather what I need for creating a tablescape.

Whether you are decorating for your family, hosting Thanksgiving or just a gathering to celebrate the season, try this simple gorgeous fall table setting for a country farmhouse feel.

How to Create a Simple Country Farmhouse Table Setting

Table settings for fall don’t have to be complicated. If you want a simple country farmhouse look for your fall table decorations, fill crock containers with branches and use leaves as pretty place holders.

Use Neutral Colors

To create this simple look for our dining room table, I started with a light tan and cream buffalo check piece of fabric. Often times, if I can not find a table cloth that I like, I will use a large piece of fabric.

I use white dishes for our place settings. White dishes go with any table decorations. Whenever I am out thrifting, I always pick up nice quality pieces as I know that I will always use them. For our drinking glasses, I use the old fashioned, never failing mason jars. It just does not get more farmhouse than that.

Gather from Nature

Gather inspiration from nature when it comes to fall decorating. We have a tree in our backyard that is just full of vibrant colored leaves at this time of year.

I went out and clipped a few branches to use as the centerpiece and then placed them in an old crock. I love the pop of color in our otherwise neutral home.

A few gathered leaves wrapped with twine makes a beautiful, yet simple place setting for each individual.

Create Cozy Lighting

As daylight hours get shorter in the fall, I enjoy creating a cozy feel in our home by using candles. Tapers in old fashioned style candle holders create a rustic country feel for gathering around the table.

    Sitting at the computer with the windows open and the feeling of fall is heavy in the air. The leaves are falling quickly to the ground today as the wind speed picks up and storms linger in the horizon. My husband is outside changing the oil in our truck and the children are spending a little time watching a favorite show. That leaves a little time for me to finally update the blog.

    I woke up to the sound of an alarm, rolled out of bed and headed to the kitchen to make a pot of coffee. The home was still dark and not a single person was awake besides me. I grabbed a light jacket, a cup of coffee and headed out the door.

    It’s a slight chill in the air with heavy filled foggy mornings that beckon me outside to enjoy the crisp crunch of the already fallen brown leaves from the tall Walnut tree in the front yard. Goldenrod stands tall across the street and the big leaves of the Maple are just starting to fade from their vibrant green colors. The stores are filling with mums and pumpkins in all sizes and colors and the apple trees are loaded with plenty for all. Fall must be near.

    Slow Down. Get Cozy. Take Pleasure in the Simple Things

    November. A season where the remaining leaves are golden yellow, rusty reds and the path beneath my feet feels the air with the sound of leaves crunching. Cool breezes blow across the way, morning are filled with heavy fog in the low valleys and evening sunsets come much earlier. The first glowing fire of the season has already been made in the fireplace and the wood pile has dwindled and been added to.
