Like many of our Contributors, I love the fall and the beautiful colors of nature. The yellow, gold, orange, and red leaves falling all around are simply stunning.
With the fall, we welcome cooler weather which tends to keep us indoors more and looking out the windows at the beautiful landscape. That makes me want to bring some of the beautiful leaves inside, which I have certainly done in the past.
Several years ago, I was doing a bit of early Christmas shopping when I spotted the gorgeous fall leaves cutwork placemats. There were only two left, but that was fine for my kitchen table, which only seats two.
We removed our large kitchen table decades ago and replaced it with a couch & chair. Not only does that provide comfortable seating in the kitchen, but it forces us to use the dining room, which was previously only used for holidays.
The fall leaves cutwork placemats are perfect for my husband and myself at our smaller kitchen table. Plus, they provide really beautiful fall decor in the center of our kitchen.
Fall Leaves Placemats
Forest Blanket with Poly-Suede Cutwork - 16 inch placmats (Set of 4)Check PriceMy fall leaves placemats are made of a faux suede material. The cutwork design gives them a nostalgic look that appeals to us. Our table is wood, a gift from my grandmother's home. The wood table provides the perfect background for the fall leaves placemats.
When our daughter visited last fall, she commented on how pretty these placemats are on the table. Normally, we all have very different decor preferences. Apparently, these fall leaves placemats appeal to a variety of decor tastes.
The current fall leaves placemats that are available are slightly different from mine in colors. That is common with fabric due to different runs or fabric selection. It could also be due to a different manufacturer. Photography lighting can also affect an image. Regardless, they are still stunning!
If you stop by my article about my grandmother, you will see the table in it's original place in her home. That photo was taken on Christmas over 30 years ago.
Fall Leaves Tablerunner

Recently, I came across a fall leaves tablerunner that compliments my placemats. That ties the decor in the two rooms together nicely.
The tablerunner is not an exact match, but that is not really noticeable unless you place them side by side. That doesn't matter to us since they are used on different tables. Plus, there is something naturally eclectic about them not matching, just as hundreds of leaves don't match when blanketing the yard.
If you were going to use the table runners and the placemats on the same table, I would recommend buying the exact same pattern all at the same time.
