There’s something so comforting about decorating your home for the fall season—it’s similar to sipping a hot cup of spiced cider or pulling on a cozy sweater. Sprucing up your tablescape elevates your space, but it also just makes you feel good. Last year, we weren’t able to fully celebrate Halloween because of the pandemic; since we can (more safely) gather in our homes again, there’s even more reason to decorate thoroughly. One of the best ways to do so is with festive dinnerware and linens.

Here’s the thing: “Halloween-themed” doesn’t have to mean covered in cobwebs and jack-o-lanterns. Instead, get the most mileage out of your fall décor by creating an elegant, elevated tablescape that will work from September through November. The bottom line? A Halloween table doesn’t have to be kitschy. Ahead, the most beautiful tableware and linens that look lovely throughout the entire autumn season.
