How to Create a Cool Fall Tablescape With No Pumpkins in Sight

FROM HOW TO CREATE A COOL FALL TABLESCAPE WITH NO PUMPKINS IN SIGHT FEATURED ON DOMINO

Is it sweater weather? Sure is and I’m ready for it. Recently I got to work with my friends at Domino and picked my favorite Walmart Fall Style pieces to welcome in the new season with flair, and boy did we do it. From chic and versatile dishes to elegantly modern decor pieces to a perfect Dutch Oven for all those low and slow braises, Walmart captured that Fall spirit with a mix of clean lines, rustic touches and effortless ease. So, I’m officially falling for Fall, and with Walmart, you can now entertain and dine in style.

When the sun sets earlier and a brisk chill returns, there’s nothing quite like generating a come-on-in-from-the-cold feel. “For fall, I really respond to a warm, modern sensibility with rustic ranch and country influences,” says lifestyle expert Peter Som, who has worked with brands including Calvin Klein, Bill Blass, and Tommy Hilfiger, in addition to founding his own label. “I gravitate toward textured, cozy, and hand-sewn-looking materials, but reinterpreted in clean lines.”

Though Som finds that a timeless, seasonless route is fail-safe, he says he is partial to a “nod to the occasion.” Using items from Walmart’s Fall Style lookbook, he administered his rule of three—solid + feature pattern + small-scale print—to create a tablescape that’s subtle but lively.

Step 3: Position the Flowers

 

“You don’t have to do some big, elaborate arrangement,” says Som. “You only really need a handful of flowers. Put bud vases all the way down the table and…done!” he says with a laugh, adding that it’s easy to weave candles in between.

[The set of bud vases pictured] comes on a small wood tray, “which I love,” adds Som, “because they’re a wonderful cheat sheet for buying a few flowers and making them last.” He favors dahlias, which blossom in August and extend through fall in a range of colors.

“It is really about being with people together in person and being present.”
