Here are 19 Fall tray decor ideas to easily give your home an autumn vibe

I also love to decorate the front porch to bring a fall feeling as you enter the house. The front porch is a great place to start your fall decor to greet your guests.

1. Fall tray decor with pumpkins and gourds

Nothing says fall like pumpkins and gourds! Grab a rustic wooden tray and fill it with a mix of faux pumpkins and gourds. Adding white and pastel colors gives a modern touch, while classic orange pumpkins scream traditional autumn. Add a vase with plum-color-foraged or faux stems for that cozy autumn look.

2. Candles and Pinecone for fall decor

Fall is all about cozy ambiance; candles are perfect for setting the mood. I love this tray display... Placing a few large pillar candles and, a few tall votive candles and surrounding them with pinecones. You can also use flamless battery-operated candles which would give the same amount of ambiance in my opinion. A sprinkling of dried fruit, small pumpkins for a pop of color, and dried foliage or faux stems spilling over to soften the edges make this tray so warm and cozy.

3. Rustic Lanterns

Create this centerpiece for your dining room table with lanterns with battery-operated lights. Surround the lantern with colorful fall garlands and berries vines. This simple fall tray idea is perfect for adding that farmhouse style to any space.

4. Pedestal Tray with Mini Pumpkins

If you have a pedestal tray, you’ve got the perfect setup for fall decor. Load it up with just mini pumpkins to create a simple display. Pedestal trays are perfect for kitchens or dining rooms where you want to show off some seasonal flair with ease.

5. Farmhouse Fall with Mason Jars

Mason jars are a farmhouse staple, and they fit right in with fall decor. First, paint the inside of the mason jars with the fall colors of your choice. Use a wooden tray, and place the mason jars filled with faux fall leaves. You can also add sunflowers, and faux berry stems. This fall tray idea is perfect for your kitchen counter or dining room table.

6. Apples and Autumn Leaves

Want a fresh take on fall tray decor? Swap out pumpkins for apples! A wooden board filled with apples, dried hydrangeas, pine cones, and candles creates a striking centerpiece for your table or kitchen island.

7. Plaid Fabrics and Vintage Books

Bring in the cozy by using a plaid fabric to accent your tray. Top it with pine cones, mini plaid pumpkins, cotton, and eucalyptus. The blend of textures and patterns will create a visually appealing and inviting fall vignette.

8. Pumpkin Spice Tray for Coffee and Tea Lovers

This fall tray decor idea is perfect for coffee lovers. Use a rustic wooden tray to hold your favorite fall pumpkin spice coffee, and glass jars, and the ceramic canisters are perfect for storing coffee beans. Use a wooden box to hold tea bags so you can enjoy a cup of tea on those cool days. Toss in some pumpkins and a vase full of fall stems and you’ve got yourself a cozy coffee station that’s ready for fall.

9. Succulent and Pumpkin Combo

Succulents aren’t just for spring and summer! Add them to your fall tray decor for a fresh take on the season. Attach real or faux succulents to the top of the pumpkin to create a beautiful chic, modern look.

10. Neutral Fall Tray Decor

If bright oranges and reds aren’t your thing, opt for neutral fall tray décor. Use white pumpkins, beige candles, and muted faux leaves to create a soft, calming autumn vibe. This style works well with modern or minimalist décor and still captures the essence of fall.

11. Fall Harvest Basket Tray

A tray full of vegetables, ornamental cabbages, and flowers, for a countryside look. This design makes a perfect centerpiece for your dining room table, adding that farm-to-table feel.

12. Chic Metallic Fall Tray

For a more glamorous autumn look, try a metallic tray in silver or gold. Add pumpkins that are either white or muted color. Finish the look with a candle, lay a bunch of wheat stalks, and a vase-filled eucalyptus. Your coffee table tray can be the epitome of cozy with a few simple items.

13. Fall Florals and Pumpkins

Add a bit of elegance to your fall tray decor by using a tray filled with a blend of fresh fall flowers such as sunflowers, dahlias, and fresh stems. Pair the flowers with a mix of apples and mini pumpkins to create a stunning visual display.

14. Scandinavian Fall Tray Décor

If you love the minimalist Scandinavian vibe, this fall tray decor idea is for you. A Nordic fall centerpiece of a wooden tray with moss, pinecones, nuts, branches, antlers, and candleholders with stars is all you need. The neutral, organic colors make this style both modern and cozy.

15. Fall Decor Tray for a Cottage style look

Choose a few statement candles, add a few books, small ceramic pumpkins, and a small vase-filled pampas grass or wheat stems to soften the display. Place all the objects on a large vintage tray to get the cottage-style look for your autumn display.

16. Two Tiered Fall Tray Decor idea

This two-tiered tray is ideal for displaying seasonal charms with mini pumpkins, leaves, and candles. Add a few sunflowers and pine cones for a touch of autumn warmth. Its compact size makes it ideal for small spaces or coffee tables.

17. Simplicity with Dried Wheat

The natural element of dried wheat and pine cone cream-knit pumpkin provides a beautiful texture to this fall tray decor idea. The pumpkin with a fun tag is placed on a wooden stool for height.  Natural elements like pinecones and a dried wheat arrangement add to all the textures and are classic for fall decorating.
