Decorating Your Home For Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a fabulous time of the year; an occasion where you bring everyone together, and where you celebrate all that the season has to offer. When it comes to decorating your home for Thanksgiving, where should you even start, and what areas of decor should be at the top of your priority list? Getting everything just right will take time, so do not leave it all until the last minute. Here are some tips on how to decorate your home for the upcoming Thanksgiving celebrations.

Focus On Warm Colors & Tones

First off, you are going to want to create the color palette you will work with. All decor has to center around a color palette to ensure that it ties together effortlessly. When it comes to choosing colors, you are best to start focusing on warmer colors and tones. Earthy colors will be complementary to these, and they will leave your home feeling both warm and welcoming. Putting together a pallet and focusing on several core colors is important, and when you can do this you will then start to see what your home will look like.

Think About Soft Furnishings

As well as focusing on the colors you will use, you must also focus on the soft furnishings; from the throws and pillows, right on through to the linen you use on your dining table. Soft furnishings can bring a theme together. When you focus on layering, too, you will also be adding layers of depth and warmth. You can layer throws, cushions, and pillows to create a sumptuous yet inviting feel. Do not focus on the minimal look when decorating for Thanksgiving, as this can leave rooms and spaces feeling both bland and bare.

Focus On The Dining Table

You are going to have family, friends, and loved ones around your home during the Thanksgiving season, and you will want to ensure your dining space looks as fantastic as possible. Starting to get inspiration for Thanksgiving table decor ideas, as well as looking at how you will dress the whole room is important. You will spend a lot of time in the dining room around this special time, and it is important that it feels cozy, special, and inviting.

Think About Centerpieces & Wreaths 

One feature that can be effective when decorating for Thanksgiving is the addition of wreaths and centerpieces. Centerpieces on units or on consoles will draw your eyes in, and wreaths will add a touch of color, warmth, and class—whether used within the interior of your home, or on the exterior. You can create your own centerpieces and wreaths and this will help give your decor a personal touch and feel.

Don’t Forget The Exterior Of Your Home

Focusing your time and energy on decorating the whole of your home for Thanksgiving is important; you do not just want to invest in the inside and then neglect the exterior of your home. Adding subtle decor touches and accents such as wreaths, plaques, signs, and welcoming doormats can help to make all the difference.
