Hosting a fall fête? Whether you decide to make it a sit-down dinner or à la carte nibbles, treat your guests to an inspiring spread.

Keep it casual

For a night of casual entertaining, keep it simple with a beautiful charcuterie board, and other small-plate appetizers. Choose a colour combo that you love and use the hues to accent your entire look, from petite plates and bowls to napkins.

Create the look above from Crate & Barrel:
Chase acacia serving board $59.95
Zayn grey table throw $59.97
Marling salad plates Set of 4 $29.97

Formal affair

If you prefer a more formal approach with a sit-down meal, give your guests a feast for the eyes with a beautiful fall tonal look. Think terra-cotta and jewel-toned colours mixed with wood and gold accents for a tabletop that is modern yet still cosy.

Create this look from Homesense:
Stemless wine glasses. $15 (for set of 4).
Red made-in-Portugal plates. $5
Geo salad plates. $6
Leaf-shaped paper napkins. $5
Gold serving utensils. $15
