A fall tablescape doesn't have to be orange, yellow, and red to tap into the season's natural beauty. In fact, this autumn many hosts are embracing a more subtle minimalist approach to entertaining that will effortlessly transition into winter. That's where Martha Stewart's birch tree taper candles for T.J. Maxx come in.
As opposed to more overt displays of seasonality, Martha's utterly chic design is a gentle nod to autumn outdoors, without the pumpkins or dried leaves. They are the perfect designer-approved fall table decor because they are versatile, understated, and chic. They would be gorgeous on silver candlesticks with a white table cloth, or could easily fit into a more casual block-printed placemat look. Plus, for under $10, it's hard to go wrong.
Minimalism is having a major moment in the sun this season, and Martha's table decor is a great way to elevate the trend.
Though we're still decorating the outside of our houses with pumpkins and seasonal accents this year (some designed by Martha Stewart in fact!) our indoor entertaining will be more transitional. Think creams, tans, and grays; colors that can effortlessly move between seasons, but can be easily aligned with the time of the falling leaves. The chicest people are htinking in the long term, investing in pieces that will grow with their homes.
