Fall Centerpiece and Vignette Ideas for 2023

Fall Centerpiece and Vignette Ideas for 2023

In my last home making post we covered some home making trends; but what if you are still stalled on ideas of how to create your own fall vignettes? What about if you aren’t an orange person- what about neutral decorating ideas? In this post I am sharing several decorating ideas of how you can create neutral vignettes and centerpieces. 

Color Palettes

You all know I love a good color palette and in my post Fall Decor Trends and Decorating Ideas for 2023
I shared a few sample color palettes for some of the bold colors that are on trend this year. 

Try using a color palette of:

Black, White, Cream, Gray and Beige

Cream, Light Sage Green, White, Dark Green, Light Gray

Dark Brown, Amber, Cream, Wheat, Sage

 

Things to remember when creating a vignette:

  • Bring a sense of cohesiveness
  • Vary heights
  • Vary textures
  • Use an odd number

 A sense of cohesiveness

 

fall centerpiece

Like the amber bottles in the picture above you want to make sure you have some through line or something that brings the elements together. If you have a bunch of plants, are they all in similar color or material pots? If you have picture frames, are they similar at all? Wooden or brown frames? Coordinating one or two elements from your vignette will help pull it all together. 

Use an Odd Number of Items

Generally using 3-5 items, or collection of items that read as one item,  in a vignette is a safe rule of thumb. If you are using books and then set a candle on top of them that will usually read as one item. 

Vary the Height

 

Kitchen fall vignette with teal accents

You want your vignette or centerpiece to look like a picture or landscape- you want peaks and valleys as well as flat connectors.  In this vignette; I have the teal color to act as a through line connecting the different elements. The wood of the picture frame blends with the wood of the tray. The little plant adds organic life to the vignette, and a small blue pottery tray in the front of the vignette acts as a small bridge to let the eye rest as it takes in the whole vignette. 

 

Vary the Texture

Use a variety of textures- you don’t want everything to be super smooth or very rough. You want it to be a nice variety for your eye to take in. 

Ideas

Try creating a vignette using different levels of pillar candles or candle sticks in front of a mirror or painting to create a vignette. 

Use something out of the ordinary to corral your vignette like an old suitcase or briefcase instead of a tray! 

Utilize boring spaces

Maybe you have an end table without much going on on it. I have one really narrow end table that I can’t fit a whole lot on, but still the space is just begging to be used in some small way. I used a pillar candlestick with a pumpkin and vintage books to make a little vignette and I love it! 

Other Items to Add

Here is a list of items that always are great to include in a fall vignette: 

  • Pinecones
  • Deer antlers
  • A candle
  • Vintage books
  • Something organic (like a small plant) 
  • An old picture
  • A pumpkin or gourd
  • Dried  Botanicals

I hope this helps to get you started creating your own beautiful vignettes and centerpieces to enjoy this fall! If you don’t already, be sure to follow me on pinterest @essentiallyemmamarie for daily inspiration!

What Inspires You- Finding Your Signature Decor Style Part One

Frankly I’ve been feeling a bit bored with my home…Our house projects have been focused on the outside this year, and looking around I realize that a lot of my decor has been the same for some time. Yes, I’ve changed out my vignettes, and centerpieces but overall… the same. This is not to say that over that past year I haven’t bought a new thing or two for my home; I have purchased several prints of original art… but haven’t gotten them framed and on display yet!
