When it comes to fall it can be easy to slip into the traditional color palettes of the season, which is a wonderful way to embrace the colors of nature. But, this fall I've got my eye on something a little different in the form of maximalist table decor.
While I generally think of fall table decor ideas as subtle and natural with earthy hues, I was recently inspired by Eva Sonaike's color-clashing and storied African-inspired table and wondered how I could recreate something as bold, energetic and playful at home. It's all about dopamine decor ideas. Fall abounds with rich colors and botanical motifs, so there's no reason why that can't be brought into seasonal tables with more maximalist tableware.
I love a bold print and a contrasting color palette, so, I've been shopping around for maximalist fall table decor that strikes the balance between playfulness and elegance. I'll be making use of my colorful summer outdoor table linens, but I'm also on the lookout for glassware and crockery in vibrant jewel tones, and fun, quirky pieces that create talking points amongst my guests.
Net-A-Porter is my go-to for statement homeware, thanks to the array of designers you can shop on the site (just take a look at these dazzling murano wine glasses and these printed linen napkins), but I've found plenty of maximalist tableware on offer from some of my other favorite brands, too. Here are a few of my top finds for bringing a little fun and happiness to your table.
