Thanksgiving Decor Ideas
Get inspired for the season with these Thanksgiving decor ideas. Don’t miss out on these great tips
When planning your Thanksgiving celebration, you want everything to be perfect, including the decor. If you're looking for some inspiration, check out these Thanksgiving decor ideas to make your space feel cozy and welcoming.
Decorating for Thanksgiving
There are a lot of ways to ready your home for Thanksgiving. Whether you're looking for small seasonal decor that can be swapped out or you're planning a renovation that will still look good year-round, here are some Thanksgiving decor ideas to help you create a cozy space for you and your family and friends.
Feels Like Fall
If you're looking to capture the changing leaves and nip in the air, some warm decor elements might be perfect for you.
Little details
To add some fall flair to an existing space, go for cozy elements. Throw blankets and pillows add warmth to combat the incoming chill. A soft, knitted throw might remind your guests of their favorite sweater. Or a blanket with some fringe may feel like an oversized autumn scarf. Pair your blankets with soft pillows in autumnal tones such as dark red or bold bronze to evoke the changing leaves.
Big changes
For more permanent changes, consider painting or wallpapering your living room or dining room in the same autumnal tones — dark reds, bright yellows, and woody browns. Add stained wood furniture such as a dining table and chairs or a coffee table. Polish off the look by lining your dining room or living room floor with a cozy wool rug to great your toes with autumn warmth.
Vintage Vibes
Thanksgiving is a timeless holiday, so it deserves timeless decor. If a vintage Thanksgiving is more your vibe, look no further than these decor ideas.
Little details
Adding vintage style to your space doesn't require a total overhaul. In fact, a vintage theme is a great way to do Thanksgiving decor on a budget. Small, timeless elements can work wonders, and you can find many of them at your local thrift or antique stores.
Pop some greenery into an antique vase or add some brass candle holders to your dining table. You could also hang a quirky vintage-style clock in your living room or dining room, or invest in some wall art from your favorite era. Incorporate family heirlooms into the design for an extra sentimental touch.
Big changes
If you want a vintage style that lasts all year round, start with antique furniture. You can either get genuine antiques from a local shop, or you can invest in funky modern furnishings that still capture those retro vibes.
A classic wallpaper is also a great way to incorporate some vintage style. Aim for fun greenery or funky fall colors to stay on the Thanksgiving theme, or choose something more neutral if you're not quite ready to commit to the color scheme all year.
Pumpkin-Spice Things Up
If you're looking for more modern Thanksgiving decor, you can take some inspiration from your favorite pumpkin spice latte with bright oranges, toasty browns, and spice-inspired finishing touches.
Little details
Modern Thanksgiving decor can lean into a combination of warmth and glamour. Modern touches might include cute throw pillows in warm colors or metallic fabrics. Gold or bronze accents in your tableware can add a touch of glamour to your decor. You might even add an artful bowl of potpourri with sweet spices to the living room or dining room for a multi-sensory experience.
Big changes
Modern decor is often bold. Consider painting your living or dining room a bold orange or dark brown, or choose a brightly patterned wallpaper. Tie in some sleek furniture such as metal and leather barstools or a glass dining table. You can even upgrade your dishes to a chic fall pattern or a classic floral that will work year-round.
Festive Farmhouse
If you're into the modern farmhouse movement, a combination of rustic, vintage wood pieces and cozy comforts will fit in just fine.
Little details
For a splash of country home style in your Thanksgiving decor, invest in some warm quilts to use as throw blankets on your sofa. Pair them with soft throw pillows in rustic patterns to complete the cozy look. Get some dried gourds, corn cobs, or stalks of wheat for table decor that looks fresh from the farm, and incorporate some reclaimed wood wall art or embroidery for an extra homey touch.
Big changes
If you're looking for permanent upgrades, you can get that farmhouse feeling by updating your lighting. Rustic Edison bulb lamps or chandeliers might do the trick. Consider installing wood plank walls, or for a more budget-friendly route, go with a wood-print wallpaper. Farmhouse furnishings are often repurposed, so get creative. Use a wood ladder for a blanket rack, or an antique-style steamer chest as a coffee table.
