Thanksgiving is a festive season of the year when family and friends get together and celebrate the holidays and are thankful for the entire year that passed. Impress your guests with wonderful Thanksgiving decoration ideas that can bring the entire design together and make your place extra warm and welcoming.
We have compiled this list of ideas that you can do to wow everyone during your dinner and make your home extraordinary even with simple designs.
1. Wreath
One of the most common decorations for the holidays is a wreath. It symbolizes wholeness, unity, and the cycles of the season as you give thanks for the year you’ve endured.
You can use many ideas to decorate your home with a wreath. You can DIY your design using burlap or felt and wire to create a circle shape.
You can decorate it with dried flowers, pine cones, fruits, or fall leaves. Make sure to use the season’s colors to perfect your wreath.
2. Tablecloth
Thanksgiving is about being together and sharing meals with your loved ones. So dressing up your home with the right tablecloth is a great table decorating idea for Thanksgiving.
Start by designing your dinner table with wonderful tablecloths that match the theme of your party.
When thinking of a theme, you can use fall colors such as orange, brown, and yellow to give the warmth of the season.
3. Table Runners
In line with having a proper table set up, add a table runner to make the table whole. On top of the tablecloth, you can mix and match the color of your table with a table runner. Table runners make the setup more visually appealing and help define the seating arrangement at the table.
4. Centerpiece
Many centerpiece ideas can make the table complete. One is to have a turkey design as a centerpiece.
A DIY idea can become a conversation starter.
For a more traditional design, you can also use the usual candle holder in the center of the table to be lit during dinner.
5. Cornucopia
In place of a traditional centerpiece, you can also use a modern wooden bowl cornucopia.
A symbol of abundance and wealth, a modern cornucopia can be placed on a wooden bowl with fruits and vegetables to symbolize the season’s bounty.
6. Small Things
The small details make up the entire setup. Small things like a place card marker can also be DIY-ed by hot gluing a ribbon to a small piece of acorn and adding paper to act as a name tag to complete the look.
7. Napkins and Napkin Rings
Part of the small details are the essentials that people use for the table. Napkins are also part of the small details that some people tend to forget. A colored linen napkin can also be added, which can also act as an accent to your table setup. Don’t forget to add a napkin ring to make it more gorgeous and detailed.
8. Garlands
The festive season warrants eye-popping designs like celebratory garlands to celebrate the season. Not only can this be used for Thanksgiving, but it can also be used for the Christmas season.
Not only is it a decorative piece, but it also symbolizes beauty, peace, passion, love, purity, and passion.
For the Thanksgiving season, you can add dried leaves, fruits, or paper cutouts of squashes or turkeys. The mix of brown, orange, and yellow colors is ideal for Thanksgiving.
9. Paper Bag Luminaries
Decorate not just the inside of your house but the outside as well. At Thanksgiving dinner, you can add DIY paper bag luminaries on the walkway of your home to warmly welcome guests inside.
As an idea, you can cut out shapes on the outside of a small brown paper bag and then light a small candle inside. The glow of the candle will go through the cut, making a wonderful decoration.
10. Pie Topper
A pie is a staple during a Thanksgiving dinner, and a great Thanksgiving decoration idea is a pie topper.
You can create a small banner by using two sticks to hold the small banner in place and then create a festive banner with the text “Happy Thanksgiving” on it.
11. Leaf Chandelier
Get creative and let your decorations reach the entirety of your house by creating a leaf chandelier. You don’t have to use real leaves – a cutout will do. Just make sure to use fall colors to complete the look.
Each leaf will be held by a string and can be hung on the ceiling. Each leaf can also have drops with different lengths to make a unique depth effect.
12. Pumpkin Menu
Instead of showing your guests the menu for the night on paper, you can hand-paint the menu on a dried pumpkin.
It can also serve as a Thanksgiving centerpiece, which can look great in your dining room as well.
13. Pumpkin Vase
Perfect for plant lovers, you can house succulents in small dried pumpkins. This idea can add a festive look and feel to your tablescape.
14. DIY Hat
Decorate not just your home but the people at the party as well. You can do this by creating a paper hat shaped like a slice of pie, pumpkin, or turkey.
This is perfect for families with children.
15. Backdrop Message
Perfect to use behind a buffet table, you can create a gorgeous backdrop using balloons, colored paper, and mixed with garlands. You can use letter-shaped balloons to give a message like “Give Thanks” or “Happy Thanksgiving” for the background.
The bigger your wall is, the longer the message you can be.
These Thanksgiving decoration ideas may be simple, but these small things, when put together, can make your home more welcoming and relaxed for your family and friends to enjoy the holiday.
