These Are My Most Favorite Fall Kitchen Shelves Ever!
DIY kitchen shelves are a great place to display seasonal decorations! Whether you go all out or just add a few touches, these fall ideas are sure to inspire you.
In my book, plaid is one of THE most fun patterns to decorate with! I love using it for every season, but especially when I’m decorating for fall and Christmas.
I found these adorable plaid plate chargers a couple of years ago and I’ve been trying to figure out a way to use them in my fall decor in a more prominent way than a tablescape. You may already know that I always include some sort of seasonal plates whenever I decorate the open shelves in my breakfast room, so it hit me – why not use these chargers in the same way? Bingo – they worked perfectly and now this open shelf display is my most favorite one that I’ve put together for fall yet!
The chargers have a tiny bit of soft green in them, so I added just a couple of touches of green to the shelves too. The mini boxwood wreath lives on the lampshade year round, but I also added a dark green plate in front of the charger in the wire basket on the top shelf. I also added a few terra cotta pots in a basket with sprigs of faux greenery. If you have a sharp eye, you just might recognize that basket from the chest at the top of the stairs in my foyer.
The diverse fall colors in the plaid on the chargers are a bit muted, so brighter pops of orange from plates, faux bittersweet berries and pumpkins really pull the color out and bring them to life! Sadly, these chargers are no longer available, but I found some awesome fall plaid plates that you can purchase HERE (affiliate link, see my full disclosure HERE).
I used a plaid fabric covered pumpkin in the centerpiece on my table in this room and even though the plaids don’t exactly match, I think they tie in together very nicely. Click right HERE to take a closer look at the stunning fall centerpiece.
Some of you will be glad and some of you will be sad, but it was time that my pig head, Mr. Herbert was put to bed for a while. I, for one, was sad to see him go, but it was time for a change. A woodland grapevine wreath with a couple of faux floral bushes tucked into the branches is a nice change, I think. Mr. Herbert had lived there for a long time, through all of the seasons, so it will be fun coming up with something different to use in his place.
Because of the large opening between my family room and kitchen/breakfast area, these shelves are one of the very first things that you see when you enter my home from the foyer and into the family room. So, it’s important to me that whatever I do on these open shelves ties in with what’s in the family room too!
Be sure to come back on Thursday, when I’ll share my rustic fall family room so that you can see how both spaces tie together!
I love the plaid chargers, they just seem to bring the arrangement to life. Beautiful!

Definitely miss the pig! He was a favorite…I even bought one after seeing yours!
The plaid chargers look great on your shelves!!! Love it!
I love the open shelves and your plaid chargers. Fall is one my favorite times to decorate.
I love the open shelves and all of the decorating possibilities they give you! – all year long! They look great … I do miss the pig, though!
The plaid chargers are perfect for your shelves! 😉
Looks great! I like how the chargers pick up the color in the curtains.
The plaid is great but I miss the pig head. I’ve been crushing on it every since I saw yours.
I too miss the pig! I had to order one after I read where you got yours. I’m still waiting for delivery. The plaid is very warm and welcoming!
The shelves are lovely and you do a great job decorating them.
Hi Suzy, Seems like I’m in the minority, but I’m glad to see Mr. Herbert go. 🙂 I love your breakfast room! The plaid chargers, simple but beautiful wreath and cool brown bottles, etc. are just lovely. I’ll look forward to seeing your family room.
LOVE how you used the plaid chargers. What made it pop for me was using the pumpkin/orange colored dinner plates at the bottom. Perfection.
Oh, poor Herbert! He’s actually probably relieved, though, to get a break! A good long nap and he’ll be ready to serve again!
Your fall display is very nice and the plaid plates add a novel touch. I like the pitchers of faux bittersweet, especially.
Nice post, Suzy!
Awesome!
So pretty , especially with the plaid chargers. Autumn is my favorite season and you’ve given me a few great ideas. Thanks!
The shelves look great Suzy! Love the plaid. 🙂
Super inspiring, I so hope to get my decor out today. Yoursis so classy and clean…nice to look at!
I love the wreath. To me a little plaid is enough. The lovely sweep of natural items on the nice twiggy wreath breaks up the regular round shapes of the charges just beautifully. Thank you for sharing!
Wonderful fall inspiration!
Perfect!! Love everything. Happy Monday and thanks for sharing.
When I opened your posting the first thing I noticed was Mr Herbert was gone……he will be missed. Love your plaid theme, very Fall looking indeed.
