From Front Door to Dining Table: Decorating with A Bow or Two

A well-decorated home feels like a story. It starts at the front porch and carries all the way to the dining table. At A Bow or Two, our pieces are designed to work together so your spaces feel cohesive, charming, and welcoming. Here’s how I love taking our décor from the entryway straight into the heart of the home.

A Fresh First Impression at the Door

This season, I’ve been loving the Lavender Gingham Bow. Its soft color feels unexpected for fall, but that’s exactly what makes it stand out. Paired with neutral pumpkins or layered greenery, it brings a fresh, uplifting look to the porch. For a bolder welcome, try the Red Gingham Bow — it transitions beautifully from autumn into holiday styling.

Layers That Carry Inside

Once you step through the door, it’s the details that keep the story flowing. I love placing a Scalloped Wicker Basket near the entryway to hold blankets or even a bundle of flowers. On a side table, a Scalloped Tray makes it easy to style candles, coasters, or seasonal accents. Both pieces add structure while keeping your décor effortless and polished.

Dining with Style and Charm

When it’s time to gather at the table, linens make all the difference. I love setting a fall dinner with Cranberry Scalloped Placemats or adding a softer note with Blue Belle Ruffled Placemats. Finish the look with White Ruffled Napkins for a crisp, polished touch that works for both casual evenings and holiday dinners.

A Seamless Story

The beauty of A Bow or Two is that everything works together. From bows that welcome at the front door to baskets and trays that style your entryway, and linens that make your dining table feel special, each piece adds charm without complication. When layered thoughtfully, they create a home that feels warm, intentional, and always ready to host.
