Fall Tiered Tray Decor in Farmhouse Sunflowers
Creating tiered tray decor is really easy. Plus you can change up the decor items anytime you want for a fresh seasonal decor accent! In this post you’ll get inspiration to create your own Fall Tiered Tray Decor in Farmhouse Sunflowers for your dining room table centerpiece.
One of the easiest ways to add a touch of fall decor to your home is with a tiered tray. The hard part is choosing the pretty decor to go in it! Since this was my first fall tiered tray I didn’t want to overly crowd everything so I did leave some empty space on each level. But it would be fun to go gather some acorns from outside and use them as extra filler!
For my fall tiered tray I chose a galvanized metal because I plan to use mine as a table centerpiece and we have a dark wood table top. We also have a small galvanized metal stool from Michaels in our dining room so they pair together perfectly.

Tiered trays are most commonly known as serving trays and they do work really well for serving up small food and appetizers such as cupcakes, cookies and petit fours. There are many different tiered trays out there both in the number of trays and material (wood, metal, wood and metal, glass, etc.).
With a tiered tray, you have to create a 360 degree view unless you intend to place it against a wall. One trick I use is to set it on a lazy susan and turn it as I’m placing the decor. It’s almost like decorating a cake!
5 Simple Steps to Create a Fall Tiered Tray
To help you get started designing your own, here are my 5 simple tips for setting up a tiered tray regardless of the season or holiday.
- Select a tiered tray that you love and fits your home decor style. Consider the following: material, shape, color/tone and the tray edges. I much prefer that my trays have edges because that keeps everything secure.
- Pick a seasonal theme (or party theme) and get your pieces together.
- Choose your anchor pieces or those pieces that will be consistent throughout all the tiers (for this setup it was the sunflowers).
- Add your seasonal decor.
- Add filler, if needed.
My Fall Tiered Tray Decor Details
To create my fall display I chose a farmhouse style three-tiered galvanized tray with a wood handle from Hobby Lobby. It was quite easy pulling together my tiered tray theme because seasonal fall decor was already out in the stores. I think I’m going to have a lot of fun changing this tray out each season!
My tiered tray measures 17″ high; bottom tray is 11″ in diameter, the middle is 8″ and the top is 6-1/2″ in diameter. Let me show you a detailed look at each of the three tiers, top to bottom.
1
Top Tier Fall Decor Details
The top tier is pretty small at just 6-1/2″ diameter. But this tier features a cute little wood sign that reads “welcome autumn” along with the following decor.
- 1 autumn sunflower
- Scarecrow dumpling figurine
- Small pinecone
- Small ear of autumn corn
- Small wood pumpkin
2
Middle Tier Fall Decor Details
The middle is where most of your eye is drawn to simply because it is at eye level (when sitting at the table). This tier features a small wood sign that reads, “fall in love” along with the following decor.
- 2 autumn sunflowers (one is larger than the other)
- Scarecrow dumpling figurine
- Pine cones
- An ear of autumn corn
- A small glass pumpkin (that I already had)
3
Bottom Tier Fall decor Details
The bottom tier features a wood sign that reads “give thanks” along with the following decor.
- Two autumn sunflowers (one is larger than the other)
- A small squirrel figurine
- Pine cones
- An ear of autumn corn
- A velvet pumpkin
- An autumn bird figurine sitting on a sunflower
- An acorn made from natural materials
- Extra small pumpkins and gourds that I had on hand
If you haven’t figured it out already all my fall tiered tray decor came from Hobby Lobby.They really are the best store for seasonal items and there’s always a large variety of choices.
Decorating a tiered tray is quick, easy and a lot of fun too. Plus I get to add seasonal decor that won’t break the bank and it doesn’t take a lot of decor to fill one in. To me that makes this my #1 home decor tool for adding seasonal vibes to my home!
