For a more traditional harvest look, opt for an array of pumpkins of different sizes.
For a minimalist look, choose for a few neutral pumpkins paired with delicate greenery such as eucalyptus.
If you’re feeling a more expressive, go for both and incorporate pumpkins as well as lots of seasonal florals and bring some dramatic height to the table!

Pre-Set Your Table
There’s nothing like walking into a hosts home and the table is already set. It brings such an inviting tone into the space that makes you to want to hang around the table to enjoy the company and food.
Do this by including place settings, dishes, flatware, glassware, napkins and maybe a table runner as a means to fill the space and create a cohesive style throughout your tablescape.
You can also include a charcuterie board, baguette, fruits and vegetables for guests to munch on while they wait for dinner. By doing this, everything acts as a space filler without spending extra money.
If you want to add an extra personalized touch, include cute seating place cards!
A Few Extra Tips
Include variety on your tablescape! This means mixing and matching different materials and fabrics. This will create an interesting aesthetic without falling flat and boring. Include metals as well as woods. Use linen for your tablecloth or runner and perhaps wicker for your placemats. Remember not to go too overboard though as that might might your table look cluttered and unintentional!
Setting the mood with ambiance. Lighting is so so important in interior design, we as designers include multiple sources of lighting in our spaces to set the mood and create an inviting atmosphere. The same goes for your dining area for your guests! Dim the lights, add some candles and enjoy the delicious food in a calming ambiance.
