If you’ve ever taken a walk on the Upper East Side or West Village during October, you’ll see houses with over the top decorations for Halloween. Some are so scary that I avoid during certain streets during this time of year. I personally prefer chicer home decor and tabletop pieces that can transition from Halloween to Thanksgiving without giving anyone a fright. I’ve put together some options to get you started on your fall decorating.

How chic would it be to serve a hearty fall soup or chili in this Cast-Iron Pumpkin Cocotte?  I also love the individual sized Stoneware Pumpkin Cocottes too.

The phrase “kiddie table” was coined at Thanksgiving and just because they’re little people doesn’t mean that can’t have a chic table. I love this line of pumpkin decorated paper products that includes Watercolor Pumpkins Fall Centerpiece Decoration, Watercolor Pumpkins Fall Dinner Paper Plates, Watercolor Pumpkins Fall Paper Plates, Watercolor Pumpkins Fall Plastic Tablecloth, Watercolor Pumpkins Fall Paper Guest Napkins, Harvest Pumpkins Fall Paper Luncheon Napkins, Watercolor Pumpkins Fall Paper Beverage Napkins, and Watercolor Pumpkins Fall Paper Cups. These would also be great for Thanksgiving weekend when you don’t want to do any more dishes.

Greet your guests or trick-or-treaters with this chic Pumpkins & Berries Wreath.

Meals would be very festive for fall with these Harvest Pumpkin Salad Plates. They also come in other sizes like dinner plates.

I can’t imagine anyone who wouldn’t love this Pumpkin Cake.

Williams-Sonoma has a great selection of pumpkin foods including many quick breads that are also available in gluten-free options. I made one last winter that was delicious.

You can drink your pumpkin spice latte every fall this lovely Botanical Pumpkin Mug or buy a set for the whole family to enjoy.
These Harvest Embroidery Napkins and simply chic and perfect for any autumnal table.

You can decorate your table or house with this Orange Harvest Pumpkin that also comes in dark green.

Thanksgiving would be extra chic with this Botanical Pumpkin Tablecloth.

Who doesn’t need a copper pumpkin candle inspired by the spicy aroma of fresh-baked pumpkin pie.

This Nest Pumpkin Chai Candle was combines pumpkin with spicy masala chai, cardamom, ginger and cinnamon to create an aroma perfect for the season.

I also really love these Botanical Pumpkin Rim Salad Plates for fall and Thanksgiving.

Instead of slaving away in the kitchen, why not just buy these Mini Pumpkin Patch Brownies that are adorably cute.

I think it would be nice to greet your guests in this Harvest Pumpkin Apron if you’re cooking or bring it as a gift for your hosts.

You could decorate your table, mantle, or door with this Green Pumpkin Mixed Garland.

You could use this Pumpkin Punch Bowl for libations or fill it to the rim with Halloween candy. There are also matching Pumpkin Cups if you do want to use it for punch.

Halloween decor is rarely chic but this set of four Vintage Halloween Mixed Salad Plates are quite lovely.
This set of four Skeleton Plates and Skeleton Platter and simple and chic too.

Carving pumpkins can be a little dangerous with a regular kitchen knife which is why I love this 3-Piece Pumpkin Carving Set. Safety first!How fun would it be to carve pumpkins with a Glow-in-the-Dark Skeleton Apron for Kids and Adults?  You could also pass out Halloween candy in one too.
