Lifestyle: Afro-Inspired Fall Table Styling

As the air turns crisp and the leaves show off their rich hues, it’s the perfect time to refresh your dining table with Afro-inspired warmth and style. Think of your table as a story — one that blends heritage, travel, and the cozy glow of fall gatherings.

Start with woven chargers in natural fibers to create an earthy, grounded base. Add a pop of culture with kente-print napkins or African wax cloth patterns — vibrant colors that spark conversation and celebrate heritage. Then layer in warm metallics — gold or copper candlesticks, hammered trays, and textured bowls — to catch candlelight and echo the season’s glow.

Finish with natural touches like dried grasses, autumn leaves, or berries to bring an organic, layered feel. Your guests will feel transported — as if you’ve invited them on a journey through Africa and beyond, right from your dining room.

Below, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite finds to help you pull this look together with ease:

  • 13 in Round Woven Plate Chargers (Set of 6) — natural water hyacinth circular chargers.

  • African Kente Print Cloth Napkins (set) — washable, vibrant napkins in kente designs.
