How to Style a Tiered Stand for Fall

Most of us either have one of these tiered stands or we have seen them in retails stores and wondered how to style them.  I  thought it would be rather simple when I first purchased mine – just throw in some stuff and easy peasy – a styled tiered stand.  But, it was more difficult than I had planned. Here are some ideas to help you style a tiered stand for fall. 

 

A Few Tiered Stands Online That I LOVE:

• Galvanized SQUARE 2-Tiered Stand (LOVE this one!)
• World Market 2-Tired Stand: Wire and Wood
• Distressed Galvanized 3-Tiered Stand
• (Similar to mine show) 3-Tiered Wire Stand

So, what is my secret for styling a tiered stand?

 Well, I’m sorry to say it’s not much of a secret really.  But, I did figure out a few things along the way.

My tiered stand has three layers.  I think the third smaller tier makes styling it a bit harder.  The first tip I am sharing is simple…

1.) Use filler to fill dead space. 

You can use anything.  Newspaper, pinecones, moss.  I used plastic shopping bags because I had them and they were handy.  Using filler in the larger tier prevents you from having to use so many accessories.  Here is how I covered up the unsightly filler and is also Tip #2.

#2.)  Add some texture in the form of cloth, etc. 

Last year during an after season sale, I purchased a few of these French-inspired towels.  One of these was perfect for this project.  I just loosely laid it inside the basket and let some freefall over the edge.  You could use ticking or burlap or any type of fabric or cloth.

Next, I added various pumpkins and an artichoke. 

On the second layer, I added some white accessories…a small white pitcher and a cute milk bottle, plus another heirloom pumpkin.  

Here is another tip…

#3.)  Add some dried flowers. 

I added some stems of dried wheat to the white pitcher.  It added extra texture and also added some height to middle tier.   On the upper level, I simply added a few more mini pumpkins and grapevine gourds.

Once I was happy with how each of the tier’s were filled, I wanted to add a few bits ‘n pieces for accent. 

Grapevine which I had cut and allowed the leaves to dry naturally is the perfect element, and Tip #4. 

#4.)  Add some Natural Elements.

I love the soft green and brown colors of the leaves don’t you?  I simply wrapped the stand with long tendrils of grapevine, weaving the ends in and out of the stand to secure it in place. 

Finally, I am adding Tip #5.) Bits of Color and Touches of Fall. 

Just a few tucked here and there. 

Put all of these tips together and here is what you get…

Once I broke it down into segments, it didn’t seem quite so daunting.  It also helped that I gathered lots of elements together so I had a good selection to choose from and make decisions as I went along. 

I’m tickled pink with how it turned out.  Or, should I say orange, yellow and green?  🙂  

This Tiered Stand is part of a Fall Vignette I am working on in the Breakfast Room, and will share it on Thursday as part of a Farmhouse Fall Accents Blog Hop with 5 other bloggers.  I can’t wait, so please make sure you join me. 

I guess you have figured out that Fall in well under way at The Everyday Home.  And I love it!
