The best fall tableware is obviously colored like autumn leaves—these red, yellow, and orange tablecloths, cups, plates, napkins, and serving pieces will look beautiful long after the last real leaf falls.
Fall is officially in full swing, and that means new flavors, new orders at Starbucks, and new scented candles for around the house. As we get further into the fall season, you may also find yourself hosting more parties than you normally would, what with Halloween, Thanksgiving, and maybe even a Friendsgiving or two.
If you’re hosting, you’ll definitely be focusing on preparing food and drinks—and you’re right to do so! But don’t forget that fall is the most aesthetically pleasing season, especially once the leaves have changed colors. Fall is all about warm hues like soft, deep reds, oranges, yellows, and browns, and you should capitalize on that for your next

Grelucgo Hemstitched Polyester Table Runner, $23.99 on Amazon
I’m not the biggest fan of tablecloths, but I do love table runners. I think they’re simple to maintain, more easily interchanged than a tablecloth, and they add something really sophisticated to your kitchen table (when I was in college, my roommates and I put a runner on our dorm’s kitchen table to make the space feel more homey). Grelucgo makes affordable and beautifully-stitched table runners that are available in deep cranberry red and pumpkin orange, making them the perfect complement to the fall dinners on your table.Buy Now
The Pioneer Woman’s 3-Piece Scalloped Edge Serving Bowls, $12.99 at Walmart
If anyone knows her way around the kitchen, it’s the Pioneer Woman. Her serving bowls are super affordable, come in three different sizes (perfect for any-sized party), and the patterns on the bowls are really cute. If they’ve been in your cart for a while, fall is the perfect time to finally press “Confirm Purchase;” the bowls are predominantly orange, red, and golden in color, so they’ll match your fall décor perfectly.Buy Now
Harvest Plaid Tablecloth, $44.96-$59.96 at Sur la Table
I know I just said I prefer a runner to a tablecloth, but I know a lot of people out there would disagree with me. My grandma, for instance, used to have a different tablecloth for every season and every holiday. So if you’re anything like her, you should invest in Sur la Table’s harvest plaid tablecloth. It’s a cranberry red which, in case you haven’t noticed by now, is my personal favorite fall color (I always liked the red leaves that fell from the trees, too!). And the dark color of the tablecloth will make the colors of your food pop and look that much more appealing. If you fall in love with this tablecloth, Sur la Table also sells an apron, oven mitts, and table chargers in the same pattern. (And if you want to spend a little less, Target has a plaid tablecloth in brown and cream with yellow and rust accents for under $20.)Buy Now
Noritake Colorwave Dinnerware Collection, $6-$249.99 at Macy’s
If you’re in the market for new plates, bowls, and mugs, you may want to start at Macy’s. Their Noritake dinnerware collection is sturdy, microwave-friendly, and—you guessed it—comes in a variety of colors. I like these plates in particular because they are predominantly white, but the splash of color is very tasteful and stylish. If you’re looking to go with the “fall leaves” color scheme, I suggest buying the collection in “terra cotta” (which is more orange than your standard terracotta), “raspberry,” or “mustard.” The latter is my personal favorite in the collection because it’s a pretty shade of yellow that looks like golden leaves in the fall but would also add a beautiful pop of color to your table in the summer.Buy Now

If you want your goblets to go with your fall décor, these wine glasses from Amazon are beyond perfect. Painted on the glasses are tree branches that are almost bare save for a few red, yellow, and orange leaves. The bottom of the glass is painted with all the leaves that have fallen from the tree. These are great for the fall and are all of a sudden in my Amazon cart.Buy Now
Le Creuset Mugs, $18 at Sur la Table
Fall is the start of a long, enjoyable hot chocolate season! There is nothing I love more on a lazy day than holding a hot drink in a giant mug. When you’re serving coffee and dessert at your next fall dinner party, consider these big, beautiful mugs from Sur la Table. If it’s fall colors you want, go for the “flame” and “cerise” shades. The mugs all have an ombre look to them, so are reminiscent of a spectrum of different colored leaves in the fall.Buy Now

With fall in full swing, we’ll start to see a lot more soups.

Because you’ll want a bowl that makes you feel just as cozy as your soup, try these soup bowls from Amazon.
