Styling The Perfect Autumn Tablecloth For A Seasonal Tablescape

Saffron Marigold - Updated: September 19, 2023

The ideal autumn tablecloth would be one filled with striking fall colors and that can take you easily from a Friday night pizza dinner all the way to a Thanksgiving table setting. Cheerful, vibrant, seasonal, and forgiving–and we have just the thing!

Inspiration: Autumn Afternoons

Autumn calls for sunny afternoons spent hiking in the mountains, enjoying a local wine festival, or strolling through an apple orchard. These cozy moments are best enjoyed with friends and family, so let’s use these colors and memories to inspire a table setting for fall!

We love seeing the bright blue sky peeking out from the temporary canopy of orange, red, and gold, and Mosaique Bleue brings that very same warm and cozy palette to your fall table. For years,  many of you have asked for a Mosaique Bleue version without the chocolate brown that grounds the print.

Good news: In our newest rendition of this Moroccan print, instead of that rich brown, we’re printing the cyan stars on a bright, light blue. The result? A fresh, modern makeover for this grounded, vintage-leaning collection.

To remove confusion, we will be calling this new print Mosaique Bleue Sky, and the previous one Mosaique Bleue Earth. Together, they depict the beautiful transition from summer to autumn.

With this range of colors, you can dress the print up or down.  Serve a butternut squash soup and some sandwiches on your everyday plates for a weeknight dinner, and pull out the chargers and china for the Thanksgiving table. The fall table settings are endless with this one! 

You can enhance your fall home decor by simply using fresh new table linens to brighten your fall table setting. Our colorful floral tablecloths and table runners honor the style of traditional Moroccan tilework–and they’ll easily forgive inevitable spills. Whether you’re dishing with your best friend or simply dishing up dinner, our orange and blue tablecloth will add a sense of cheerfulness to your fall table decor.

Top your autumn tablecloth with a fall centerpiece

When you dress your table with a vibrant pattern, you enjoy added creative freedom when it comes to creating a fall centerpiece or tablescape.  You might consider accenting just one color from the cloth, or you might prefer a more neutral approach for the rest of your fall table decor.

What are some of your favorite ways to spend an autumn afternoon? Use those moments to guide your fall table decor. Suggest a hike through the woods with wooden chargers; nod to planting bulbs with floral napkin rings. You can always use the colors and shapes in your autumn tablecloth to guide you. And remember: you can never go wrong with mums, candles, and mini pumpkins!
