Do you miss hosting a dinner party at your home? Fall is coming and it brings us a few holidays to celebrate with our families and closest friends.
If you are a total detail buff, then you pay special attention to the table centerpiece for fall. There are plenty of ways to decorate the table for this season, but we are going to focus our collection on the timeless neutral tones.
These 27 beautiful neutral fall decor ideas for your dining table will inspire your fall table decor for a perfect transition from summer to fall.
1. Mix Neutral And Traditional Colors
If you can’t decide between neutral and traditional fall colors, mix them both! Use the neutral colors for the larger items and the traditional ones for accents that will stand out.
White and green real or faux pumpkins of various sizes can be a repetitive element in your tablescape. All shades of orange, yellow, brown, red and purple can define the accent piece in your arrangement. You can add the traditional colors with napkins, a bouquet of seasonal flowers or twigs with leaves, or with the mats.
2. White And Green Fall Centerpiece
You can evoke fall in your home not only with the traditional autumn colors. Using items that symbolize the season in colors that match your home decor is another way to set the fall inside.
Try this eye-pleasing combination- white and green. Different sizes of white pumpkins are arranged in line on the creamy knitted table runner. The dinner plate is green, the salad one- white. You can try the vice versa combination as well. The napkin is from linen to enhance the neutral natural decor.
3. Demonstrate Harvest On The Table
Use the symbols of the rich harvest in autumn as a theme for your fall table centerpiece. Pumpkins, a bouquet of wheat ears, a dried sunflower and a vase of eucalypt twigs are the main elements of the neutral fall table centerpiece.
A small, cute sign spelling “fall” stays in the center of the table on a wood slice to add the traditional orange hue to the decor.
4. Brown Shades And White For A Fall Tablescape
The brown shades can make the interior extremely welcoming and cozy. They can also invoke the fall theme instantly when set on the table. Use tablemats from rattan or linen in bright brown color.
Add white or grey plates. The table centerpiece in this idea consists of pumpkins decorated with dried autumn leaves, metal candle holders and a white terracotta vase with autumn twigs.
5. Place The Decorations In A Wooden Holder
For a smaller table or a more compact centerpiece size, gather the decorative elements in a wooden crate, dough bowl or a box.
The wood is a natural material and it easily blends with any interior. It also creates a warm backdrop for neutral fall decorations like pumpkins in white or green and eucalyptus leaves.
6. Vases With Wheat Ears
Collect wheat ears from a field and turn them into a lovely natural fall centerpiece. Form them into one or two bouquets and place them into farmhouse vases.
Small galvanized buckets, white porcelain vases or even glass bottles will complement the neutral bouquets.
7. DIY Centerpiece In A White Box
The neutral fall centerpiece in this idea complements the existing modern farmhouse decor. The black chairs and the retro black console table are the accents in the otherwise neutral dining room.
The fall centerpiece consists of a handmade wooden box, dry hydrangeas, white pumpkins, eucalyptus garlands and wheat ears. It is a smart move to have the box painted white and thus shelter any type of seasonal decoration.
8. Simple Fall Table Centerpiece
White pumpkins on a white table runner seem to create a centerpiece that is too neutral, don’t they?
We suggest adding a garland of fall leaves or faux eucalyptus or other green twigs to the arrangement for a natural pop of color.
9. Serve A Pumpkin
As easy as it looks, serving a real pumpkin on a cake stand is a simple but fascinating fall centerpiece idea. If you wish, you can place the pumpkin on a wreath from wheat ears as shown in this fall table image.
In case the table is long, complete the centerpiece with twigs with autumn leaves on either side of the stand.
10. Layers And Textures
The neutral fall centerpiece can be unique if you choose the right textures and arrange the pieces by layering them. The jute table mats look like small fall suns in boho style.
The white plates in their centers stand out with purity and brightness that pair with the white vases filled with autumn twigs and wheat ears.
11. Pumpkins With Metallic Finish
If you don’t want to draw away the attention way too much from special pieces and designs in the room but yet want to have a fall centerpiece, go for the neutral palette.
White table runner decorated with sage green leaf garlands, a beautiful collection of crystal and brass candle holders and metallic finished decorative pumpkins compose an elegant neutral fall centerpiece.
12. Use Fresh Fall Items In Your Neutral Tablescape
This idea inspires us to use fresh eucalyptus leaves in the fall table centerpiece.
It smells lovely while drying and creates a beautiful natural backdrop to the neutral white decor.
13. Neutral Table Setting With An Antique Pot
Use the outdoor flower pot with an antique look as a focal point of your neutral fall centerpiece in the dining room. Fill it with real and faux leaves to achieve the bursting effect of the bouquet and place roses, hydrangeas or peonies in the middle for an elegant neutral touch.
Complement with white pumpkins and candles spaced symmetrically on both sides of the pot.
14. Neutral Fall Centerpiece With Pink Shades
The soft pink shades are not related to the autumn color palette but they will create a unique table set for the season. Use the pink shades with the traditional fall symbols and textures of autumn and arrange them along the table runner.
Pair them with white decor pieces for a more neutral look.
15. Simple Thanksgiving Table
The setting of this table is suitable for any occasion. What makes it fall-friendly is the added tiny pumpkins and the bouquet in the middle.
They are chosen to be neutral white so that they complement the plate set and the surrounding interior.
16. Glass Jars And Pumpkins
Include glass holders in your fall table centerpiece to achieve a more neutral look for the arrangement.
That can be jars filled with small pumpkins or candles, farmhouse bottles repurposed into vases of wheat ears or candle holders.
17. Farmhouse Neutral Fall Tablescape
This centerpiece is simple to make and so charming! Knitted pumpkins in neutral colors, long garland from faux autumn leaves and a weathered crate with an antique serving stand.
The ticking plates are a great idea for creating interest in the natural and neutral fall decor.
18. Candle Fall Centerpiece
Making the dining table centerpiece neutral ensures that it is universal for usage all year long. Simply add to it items that are typical for the season to blend it with the new theme.
The neutral centerpiece in this idea consists of an old wire box holding rustic wooden candlesticks. What speaks about fall is the fabric pumpkins served in the bowls on the table.
19. Dough Bowl And Candle Sticks
Another wonderful neutral fall centerpiece inspired by the farmhouse style is shown here. A dough bowl has been repurposed into a holder of fall decor pieces consisting of a pumpkin and faux succulents. Instead of candles, tiny pumpkins sit on the rustic candle holders’ pedestals.
The traditional but neutral fall pumpkin is served on everyone’s plate as a special invitation to the table, together with the named napkins.
20. Pumpkins Are Never Enough
If you love decorating with pumpkins for fall but want to make the setting more neutral, just use pumpkins in neutral colors. Beige, brown, white, light green and pale yellow are enough colors to create interest. You can also play with the texture by arranging fabric, real and plastic ones along the table runner.
Another great idea shown here features an interesting way to decorate the table with pumpkins. Use different stands and objects to lift them to different heights.
21. Neutral Country Tablescape For Fall
This fall table centrepiece is inspired by nature. Beautiful neutral hue blooms are gathered in a white vase placed in the middle of the table.
The country-style arrangement is anchored by two large antique lanterns. The neutral theme is enhanced by two pumpkins, a table runner and table mats in beige and white plates.
22. Mix Pumpkins And Pinecones
You can’t get away from the pumpkins when it comes to a fall centerpiece but you can make the arrangement more interesting by adding more texture to it with other natural and neutral decorations. Pine cones are perfect for making the fall decor warmer and hinting at the cold forthcoming months.
Simply scatter them along the table runner.
23. Country Harvest Look In The Neutral Color Palette
The neutral farmhouse interior of this dining room has inspired its special fall table centerpiece. It is simple, celebrating harvest and in neutral tones that enhance the homely coziness.
The focal point is a tall vase with tall wheat ears, two identical white pumpkins on either side for an elegant symmetry and two pillar candles.
24. Be Bold With Large Pumpkins
The table decor you choose doesn’t have to be lots of pumpkins. It can feature only two or three but of a larger size. Get inspired by nature and pick up those in neutral hues to create a subtle centerpiece.
Add wooden candlesticks among the row of pumpkins and as an accent, place an orange pumpkin on a pedestal.
25. Neutral Is Timeless
The neutral hues will never go out of style, whether it comes to major parts of the architecture, interior walls, furniture pieces or small decorations. So, going for a neutral color palette for your fall table centerpiece is the right choice.
Leaves gathered from the park or a faux leaves garland act as a table runner in this neutral fall decor. Different sizes and types of candles, as a symbol of the warmth and coziness of home, are grouped and placed symmetrically among the leaves.
The center of the arrangement is very simple and inspired by nature- a vase with dry field flowers.
26. Tiered Centerpiece For Fall
Another way to give your neutral tablescape interest is to place the decorations in a pattern or at different heights. We saw how pumpkins can be scattered along the table on different stands and piles. In this idea, the items are concentrated on one piece that has tiers.
Any tiered stand from the kitchen can be repurposed into a table decor holder.
27. Cotton Bouquet
Cotton branches are an organic, neutral and beautiful gift from nature that can easily find a place in our home decor. Simply place the branches in a vase or a glass bottle and center them on the table.
To highlight the neutral fall theme, add small pumpkins in white or pale green to the table runner or on every plate.
