9 Tasteful Fall Tablescapes
Whether you’re considering hosting a casual get-together, Thanksgiving meal — or something in between this season — we share the newest tabletop designs from top brands to kick your fall feasts up a notch.
Force of Nature
Inspired by a walk through the lively street markets in Florence, the Pumpkins Collection of dinnerware and accessories from Vietri is a playful yet sophisticated take on the fall harvest. Accented with a plaid table runner — always a fall favorite. www.vietri.com
Forest Walk from Juliska is an ode to the earth’s beauty and Mother Nature’s abundant gifts expressed in a sculpture of sticks, windswept feathers, leaves and other finely detailed textures and colors. Made in Portugal, the collection is dishwasher, freezer, microwave and oven safe. www.juliska.com

Ombre Dip Dye Napkins in beige and taupe borrow their colors from autumn and fall fashions, especially when paired with the sparkling Zinnia Napkin Ring. www.kimseybert.com
The Hunting Games
Spode’s Woodland and Delamere collections make an elaborate presentation for the table. Woodland’s design is rooted in the traditions of hunting for game. Central to the charm of the pattern are the striking studies of different animals framed by the British Flower border, which dates back to 1831. Delamere, a companion to Woodland, features the same British Flower border, but with a white center. www.spode.com
And why shouldn’t our pet’s tableware be as spectacular as our own?!

Incorporate some Copper
Metallic hues always warm up the season. Villeroy & Boch’s hand-painted Manufacture Glow collection, made of premium porcelain, inspires with its attractive copper color and slightly matting effect. Combine it with the slate-looking items from the Manufacture Rock sister collection, for a clean, contemporary feel any season. Dishwasher and microwave safe. www.villerory-boch.com
Establish a Neutral Ground
Mocha, a smoky new neutral from Terrafirma Ceramics is in step with trending neutrals seen on runways and in interiors. New additions also include two fresh patterns — vibrant Paisley and geometric Prisma. www.terrafirmaceramics.com
