Thanksgiving is just around the corner and whether you’re hosting Thanksgiving dinner or simply want to get into the holiday spirit, here are 10 ideas to spruce up your home this upcoming holiday.
1. Brass
Transitioning from light summer tones and textures, brass is the perfect material to display on your Thanksgiving dinner table. Click the images below for some brass pieces from West Elm.
2. Gingham
A classic country look, gingham isn’t a typical style that you find in most modern homes. Pair it with neutral tones and colors, though, to add a fun pattern to a simple space.
3. Candles + Candle Holders
Although cooking Thanksgiving dinner may be good enough to get your home smelling festive, there’s nothing like lighting some cedarwood or cinnamon candles during the holiday season. Complement these candle with a festive candle holder for a nice Fall look. Find a selection of Target holiday candles here.
4. Warm-Colored Pillows + Blankets
Thanksgiving is all about warm colors like orange, red and yellow. Nothing feels more inviting than seasonal pillows and blankets on the couch. Find Fall Wayfair pillows such as the one below here.
5. Neutral-Colored Pumpkins
Your Halloween pumpkins don’t have to go to waste yet. Paint them white or gray and use floral or lettered stencils to give your orange pumpkins a makeover. Use this as a DIY project or easily purchase some like the ones from Wayfair below.
6. Garlands
Garlands can make a big difference in the way your fireplace, front door or even staircase can look. You can find different versions with leaves, flowers, pinecones, fake fruit, and more. We love this garland from Amazon below.
7. Fresh Flowers
Keep your home smelling fresh with flowers. According to Proflowers, some of the most popular Thanksgiving flowers are orange roses, chrysanthemums, peruvian lilies, and sunflowers. Pick some up from your local farmers market or get a beautifully themed bouquet from Proflowers like the one below.
8. Dried Wheat
While fresh flowers are certainly appealing, they do not last very long. Dried wheat can last far longer than fresh flowers can and they add a country-style looks as well. Add these to a vase on your dining or entry table for nice touch that can last for months.
9. Pinecones
Pinecones are not only a great decorative piece, but if scented, a great way to freshen up your home as well. Add an assortment to bowls and vases around the house.
10. Wreaths
Adding a wreath to your front door is the easiest way to add seasonal curb appeal. There are many different versions that you can use from bright orange maple leaves with pumpkins, dried wheat, pinecones or even fresh ones that guests can smell when they come in. You can find an assortment of wreaths on Wayfair here or by clicking the images below.
