As you gather friends and family around your table in gratitude and celebration, delight them with a table that is carefully and thoughtfully dressed.
We checked in with Sabrina Bordo, general manager of TrendexHome.com to find out what's hot this fall. Plus, she provides tips on keeping your entertaining eco-friendly, too! Here's what Sabrina has to say:
What kinds of trends are we seeing when it comes to fall tabletop decor?
Rich, saturated colors, lots of texture and mixing patterns with solids.
What colour palettes / colour combinations are hot this year, that can be used when setting your fall table?
There are lots of combinations that look great. Try:
• Deep spice, aubergine with muted gold accents
• Dark chocolate with blue and gray accents
• Olive green, aubergine and softer greens as accents
• Deep burgundy with spice and muted golds
• Dark chocolate, taupe and natural
And there is always the standby of a white or ivory with any of the above colors as accents.
Are there any trends or anything new in flatware, serving ware, glassware, etc.?
There has been a change from traditional round shapes to any other shapes like squares and triangles. And the casual look is being dressed up with dressier accessories. Also, look for non-matching items for effortless elegance; put together a look that doesn't look too put together!
Can you provide a few suggestions for beautiful tabletop decorating ideas?
Use things that you already have in your home. Display three or four of your favourite vases of different heights. Use complementary colours of fresh flowers for a simple and stunning arrangement.
