If you want to create a show-stopping tablescape, it’s easy to focus on the linens and crockery – but I find that guests always notice stunning glassware just as much. If you’re after expert-approved styling tips, you can find plenty in Homes & Gardens' exclusive video, How I Host, with Clodagh McKenna.
The celebrity chef’s magnificent fall table decor ideas are inspiring all my best fall table decor ideas, including a newfound obsession: colored glassware. In this instance, amber is the shade everyone is talking about right now.
Clodagh uses the seasons to guide her table settings, and she's certainly mastered the honey and caramel tones of fall. Yet tying everything together is the glassware: namely, a pale amber hammered glassware set from Zara.
I love to finish my tablescapes with elegant taper candles (which, it turns out, are one of Shea McGee's top hosting hacks for fall 2025), and I know that golden glasses like Clodagh's will look stunning when they catch the flickering light.
Plus, colored glassware is brilliantly versatile: it can meld with the rest of your decor to create an understated, harmonious look, or it can become a real statement on the table against more neutral schemes. Clodagh uses a refined color palette of harvest hues throughout her tablescape, but I'm thinking of experimenting with my boldest fall table decor ideas and pairing amber glasses with rich chocolate linens and brushed brass flatware.
If you're thinking of jumping on the amber glassware trend, there's an array of options to shop – whether you fancy browsing the thrift store or creating a more contemporary look. Check out some of my favorite finds below.
