How to Decorate Your Table for Fall

“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.” – Albert Camus

It’s starting to get darker earlier, the air is brisk, and a few leaves are beginning to change to a golden amber tone. It’s safe to say, fall has arrived.

This year, welcome the season with open arms by bringing the warm colors of fall to your barnwood dining table with these simple decorating ideas.

Tabletop Pumpkin Patch: When you think of fall, one of our favorite traditions is visiting the pumpkin patch! Use some of your pumpkin finds to create a super easy and inexpensive centerpiece. Put your uncarved pumpkins and colorful gourds within a bowl or stacked on a cake stand for height. For an elegant look, you can paint all the pumpkins and gourds to match your kitchen.

Fall Foliage: Mums are the perfect plant for this time of year. The petals are often rich earthy colors such as mustard, burgundy, or orange. Pick a color that best suits your style and find a unique way to put them on display. A few of our favorites are apple crates, barrels, or water buckets.

We love accenting our mums with some farm-inspired pieces. Get creative and add additional accents such as, corn, apples, and pumpkins.

Table Set for Harvest: Bring your fall wreath inside this year! Take a rural and rustic wreath made with sunflowers, hay, corn, and earth tone accents and place it in the middle of the table. Complete the center with a vase filled with acorns, green apples, or your favorite fall scented candle. Easy to put together and easy to clean up when you’re prepping for the winter holidays!

How to Dress Your Table for Spring

Warm weather, BBQs, family and friends…this is what we’ve been waiting for all winter long!

Even with all the warm-weathered events, the table is where everyone gathers around to break bread and make memories. That is why your table is always where you can “set the space” for any outdoor or indoor gathering.

Here’s how to dress your reclaimed barnwood table for spring this year!

Seasonal Table Setting Ideas

Here are a few of our favorite decorating ideas for this time of the year.

Pop of Flowers:

When it comes to springtime decorating we like to think, “April Showers bring May Flowers!” Fresh flowers tend to make the perfect accent to any piece of furniture however we love the look of the bright flowers against the traditional wood in your dining space.

Determine your accent colors of the room – do you have pops of color such as orange, red or yellow? Grab a bouquet of your room’s accent colors for display on your table. Depending on how your food will be served and how large your table is, pick a floral centerpiece that fills the space comfortable without obstructing anyone’s view.

Pop Of Flowers

Seasonal Accents:

If you feel that the flowers seem too small for your table and event, add some seasonal accents. Add a mirror or tray underneath your flowers and include some theme accents such as candles, decorative stones, or confetti.

We also love the look of smaller plants in mason jars alongside tea lights for a lovely rustic look!

Seasonal Accents

Fresh Fruit Arrangements:

Get creative by slicing up some oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruits; then add them to your favorite decorative pillar. The scent of fresh citrus is also a great (and safe) alternative to lighting a candle.

Durability: Since the wood was harvested a while ago, its independence and exposure give it a classic texture that’s guaranteed to be sturdy. It’s safe to say a barnwood farm table is as tough as a nail!

Whether it is the size, shape, color, etc. Here at Old Barn Star, we offer reclaimed barnwood tables in any size you need from 4ft up to 16ft.

However, you must remember, this farm table is more than just a piece of furniture. All your family’s memories are engraved in the wood. Dinner after dinner, you share special moments with all your loved ones.

Farm Table Sitting Options

We offer two different sitting options, which we feel complement a barnwood farm table very well.

The more traditional route to your kitchen table; you can choose from various woods and then personalize with barnwood stain or paint colors.
