30 Thanksgiving Decor Ideas to Celebrate in Style
Plaid and pumpkins and foliage, oh my!
We love cheesy holiday decorations as much as the next person, but every now and then, we opt for some that feel a bit more elegant. Enter Thanksgiving decor ideas that ring in the festivities without any of the cheesiness that sometimes makes us cringe. Think miniature faux pumpkins swathed in a creamy shade of white, dried floral bundles hanging from the front door, and antique-inspired candle holders that dress up the dining table.
If you’re hosting the holiday feast this year, you probably have more urgent things on your mind than Thanksgiving decor ideas, but trust us: They’re a must. After all, if you’re planning the extensive menu, doing all of the cooking, and hosting your loved ones, you’ll want your guests to appreciate your hard work in a beautiful setting, right? You don’t need to completely redesign your home to make it Thanksgiving-friendly, but just adding a touch or two of festive decor makes all the difference. Even if all you can muster is a scented candle on the mantel or a warm throw blanket across the sofa, that’s still something!
So if you’re in the mood to get ahead of the holidays this year and shop for your Thanksgiving decor now, let us help. We’ve rounded up our favorite pieces from retailers, big and small, that will make your tablescape (and your home) the place to be this year. The best part? You can keep most of the decor out all year round because nothing on our carefully curated list is overtly holiday-themed.
