I always like to see a pretty table for every season. Fall with its pretty color calls to me every year, so I thought I would put together a fall table for the dining room. I love all the rusts, oranges, golds, and browns of fall. Our dining room is a little more formal than the breakfast room, but I still like to have a casual table setting. To keep it looking casual I used wicker placemats and check napkins.
The centerpiece is one I pulled together from my stash. I mixed all kinds of fall-colored flowers together, added some pods and a few feathers, then surrounded it with fall leaves and faux acorns. Dressy enough for the dining room, but nothing overboard.
Next I moved on to the Breakfast Table.
I love our breakfast area, it’s where we eat most of our meals and where the family seems to gather most of the time. My farmhouse trestle table easily seats 6 – however we can squeeze 8 in for more family fun. I like to keep a pretty table setting so that it always looks inviting. With Fall arriving, I am ready for a little color. Time to bring on all the pumpkins and autumn leaves and berries to create my Fall Farmhouse Table with a Halloween twist.
I love to create table settings and vignettes that I can tweak just a bit and have a whole new look. I kept most of what I had and added in some checks to create my Fall Farmhouse Halloween Table.
Here is my table before – – -It’s amazing how different a table can look when you simply change the table runners.
I like to run my centerpiece down the center of my trestle table. Adding in tons of berries, leaves and a few velvet pumpkins always create a pretty table. Change out the woven runners for black and white check runners and you have a Fall Farmhouse Halloween Table.
Check table runners, a galvanized lantern, and antlers snaking through the berry garland reminds me of back home on the farm and fall.
Just gather up a few faux plants, some pumpkins, leaves, berries, and a fun lantern or candles and you will be good to go with a table setting that you can switch up so easily.
It’s funny how the black and white check makes us think Farmhouse.
The black and orange also make me think of Halloween without the “Spooky”.

Marty, to me, buffalo checks say Fall and farmhouse. Both being my favorites. I love the details on the table, how you’ve coordinated the colors and elements like the lantern, and pumpkins are simply very elegant.
