Fresh centerpieces are always classic and perfect for those who love to decorate with color. One way you can create a gorgeous centerpiece is by using contrasting colors. The changing flowers and leaves are perfect for fall inspired décor. Get a glass vase and fill it with water and put bunches of flowers in different colors. Arrange the flowers according to color to create a natural color gradient. When choosing a vase, pick one whose shade complements that of the flowers to make them stand out and also to add more hues to the room. Choose green, blue, purple colored vases to complement different shades of yellow, red, and orange flowers. Another way you can create a lovely centerpiece is by using gourds. Visit your local grocery store and get some eye-catching gourds. Place them in a basket and make a gorgeous centerpiece. You can line the basket with colorful autumn leaves to add more color.

If your dining room has a buffet, you can use the top area for display. Place a runner on the top to adorn and protect the surface and put a large pumpkin in the middle with small pumpkins around it. You can also use other items like mini pilgrims, turkeys, or fall candles in spice scents to decorate your dining room.

Look to Natural Elements on your Dining Room Table

Autumn dining room décor doesn’t have to be fancy or elaborate. Actually, the simpler it is the better. Bring an autumn touch to your dining room by placing a burlap runner on the table and adding fresh greens or flowers on top. Or get some spindly branches and bunch them together for a unique look. Branches can transform your dining room in an instant and add a natural look to the room.
