Thanksgiving table decor
When it comes to decorating your table, the food tends to take center stage. But, with a few simple ideas, you can transform your guests’ culinary experience into one they won’t soon forget.
Lean into fall
As Thanksgiving is about the harvest bounty, don’t be shy about taking full advantage of the season. Fall is about rich, vibrant colors so use a lot of oranges, reds and greens on your table. Use dried corn cobs, gourds, dried leaves, straw and fall flowers to add some festive vibe to your table. You can easily repurpose your leftover Halloween decorations as long as they match your overall look. Skip the goblins and ghosts and go for the orange pumpkins instead.
Reuse your Halloween pumpkins and dried corn cob in your Thanksgiving decor
Opt for solid black or white tablecloths with orange or natural fiber napkins. Use a straw ribbon or a piece of rope to hold your cutlery in place. Crisp white plates and glassware can also add some sophistication to your table decor while creating a cozy atmosphere and letting the food be the star.
Add color and textures that represent the harvest
Incorporate Christmas flavors
Choose quality decorations you can reuse for other occasions to save time and money. With Christmas just around the corner, you can get creative with red napkins, candles, dried pepper berries or other flowers. You can add some sparkle with gold and silver accents but use them sparingly, or you might end up with more of a Christmas vibe rather than Thanksgiving.
Don't be afraid to reuse decorations from other seasons
Go for classy white
Another great way to create that magazine-style Thanksgiving decor is to center your color scheme around white. You can easily incorporate other items into this aesthetic that can be reused for different holidays. Choose classic and quality pieces that will last for several years.

Thanksgiving centerpieces
You can use pumpkins, candles, dried flowers, or a combination of these to create stunning centerpieces for your Thanksgiving table. While creating your masterpiece, make sure that you keep the size in mind. If your centerpiece is too large or too wide, it might be difficult for people sitting across each other to have a conversation or reach serving plates.
Make sure your centerpieces don't block guests from having a conversation
Outdoor Thanksgiving decorations
Extend your Thanksgiving festivities by decorating outdoors. If you have stairs or a porch, use pumpkins and fall flowers like mums or ornamental cabbage and kale to add color and brightness. You can also create decorative wreaths with pumpkins, leaves and dried flowers and hand them over the door.
Don't forget to decorate outside!
