Fall Coffee Table Decor
Hello, friends. Like so many of you, I’m super excited for the fall season.

Fall Coffee Table Decor Styling Tips
Today I’m sharing a few easy tips for styling a coffee table for fall. Whenever I switch out summer decor for fall, I’m all about creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
Since the coffee table is typically a focal point in a living room or family room, one way to achieve this is by creating coffee table vignettes.
Start with a blank slate and gather items that you may want to include when styling your coffee table.
Choose one or two focal points, such as a small pumpkin or an autumn-inspired floral arrangement, and build around them.
When styling the round coffee table in our living room, I started by anchoring the table with a large mirrored tray with gold metallic features.
Trays are a great way to decorate coffee tables and dining room tables.
Don’t be afraid to mix and match different textures and materials – rustic wood alongside shiny metallic accents adds depth and visual interest.
Keep it simple by selecting a few key pieces that embody the spirit of fall.
You can’t decorate for fall without pumpkins. Real pumpkins are not quite in season yet, so I am decorating with faux pumpkins for now.
I’ll definitely mix in real pumpkins when they are available.
A gorgeous glass pumpkin from the fall Decocrated Box filled with fairy lights adds a warm ambient glow, especially at night.

The fairy lights are on a timer and have 7 different settings. Fairy lights are a great way to bring in that cozy factor, no matter the season.
A floral arrangement is another key piece in this pretty fall vignette. A mix of stems in classic fall colors brings in tons of texture.
Can you believe those adorable pumpkin stems are from Dollar Tree? They have really stepped it up this year!
Coffee Table Styling Tips
Incorporating seasonal touches into your coffee table decor doesn’t have to be complicated.
Here are some other inexpensive tips for decorating your coffee table for fall.
- Bring in natural elements like pinecones and acorns placed in a dough bowl or other wooden bowl.
- Include fall scented candles for instant coziness. Spiced pumpkin candles are a staple in my fall home decor!
- Make your fall coffee table decor stand out by thinking outside the box. Instead of traditional items, consider incorporating unexpected elements such as vintage books.
- Stack the books on top of each other with the addition of some decorative gourds or a white pumpkin on top. As soon as mini boos are available, I scoop up several to decorate straight through Thanksgiving.
- My favorite tip for any season or holiday, when creating vignettes, is to follow the rules of three as detailed in this great article from Apartment Therapy.
I’m a huge fan of following this home decorating technique.
Decorating with odd numbers like 3, 5 or 7 is something I learned many years ago in a design class.
You want to create a natural path for the eye to follow. The anchor draws you in while the weight and filler items create a triangular flow.
See how I used this process when decorating a Christmas mantel several years ago.
In this vignette, I have 7 items; the large tray, the wood riser, the pumpkin punch, white pumpkin, glass pumpkin, vase and flowers.
Give it a try and let me know what you think.
Don’t forget, the goal is not just to fill up space but also to create a conversation-worthy display that reflects your personal style.
Most of all have fun with it. Put on your favorite music, make yourself an autumn apple moscow mule and enjoy!
