Fall Tiered Tray Decor

Learn how to decorate a Fall tiered tray in 5 easy steps.

Creating Fall tiered tray decor is easy when you follow these simple steps.

1. Pick your colors.

I recommend picking 2-4 colors for your tiered stand display.

For this Fall decor, I chose a shade of orange and a shade of green as my primary colors and a black and white checkered pattern as an accent.

2. Pick a focal item.

I want the focal point of my Fall tiered tray decor to be a photograph of our family so I made this photo frame the focal point of my display.

Usually the focal point item is larger than the others and it’s placed in a prominent position.

3. Select greenery.

I like to put greenery is almost every tiered tray that I put together. Adding plants add a great splash of color and life to the display. You can chose to use real or artificial plants.

Here are some great small plants on Amazon that are perfect for tiered tray displays.

4. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

I like to tie common items or themes throughout each layer of the tray. For example, in my tray, you’ll find a bird on each level. While it isn’t the exact same bird, it is a common theme and has a similar design. In addition, you’ll notice that I have the same flowers and pumpkins on both levels.

5. Vary heights.

Select items of various heights to create visual interest when creating a Fall tiered tray decor.

You can also use items for risers to create differences in height. For example, the bird below is shown on small wooden disks. I love to use these in many types of displays in my home.

I also like to use the cupcake holders shown below to give items height in my tiered stands and in other home decor displays.
