Between carving the turkey and baking the pie, flowers and pumpkins might be the last thing on your mind. But these decorating ideas prove a little extra prep makes the holiday feast a lot more festive.


Warm Essentials
A soft blanket, crackling fire and cup of coffee are the secret weapons to keeping warm on a crisp, November day. 




Illuminating Centerpiece
Shed a little light on your Thanksgiving day table with a pumpkin and candle centerpiece, inspired by the harvest season.



Grapevine Wreath
Hang a picture frame with a sweet little message on a grapevine wreath, adorned with mini pumpkins, berries and ribbon. 



Floral Overload
The secret to flower arranging is simpler than you think. Just start with single blossoms, placed in several vases of different heights. Top it off with a bloom at each setting tucked behind the place card.



Crisp Leaves
Red, yellow and orange leaves make up this fall mantel, placed in vases, strung as garland and displayed in a picture frame.



House Beautiful
Decorate your home for Thanksgiving with this ideas and have a delightful day.

Creative candleholders
Use repurposed candleholders for easy fall displays of small pumpkins and gourds. Look for candleholders in varying heights at a garage sale or antiques store, then spray-paint black for a unified look.


Harvest mantel
The focal point of this harvest-inspired mantel is a collection of inexpensive melamine plates attached to the wall with easy-to-use adhesive disc hangers. Casually arrange an assortment of pumpkins and gourds between two bundles of dried wheat on the mantel. Include a blackboard or two where you can write an inspirational quote or even your Thanksgiving menu!


Hues of autumn
Footed glass containers show off ribbons, beans and nuts in fall hues. The copper tray adds shiny sophistication and makes the arrangement portable.


Nut votive
Place these pretty votives on your Thanksgiving dining table, mantel or coffee table. Just gather unshelled nuts and layer in a glass cup around a small candle. Save a few nuts to scatter near your display.


Natural display
A pumpkin "basket" makes an imaginative centerpiece for a fall table.
Hollow out the pumpkin, then place a block of wet floral foam inside. Position a pillar candle in the foam and surround with fall blooms and berries to complete this DIY fall decoration.


Nature's artistry wreath
Embellish a square store-bought magnolia wreath with color-coordinated real and faux materials, including twigs, seedpods, nuts, berries, wheat and leaves.

 Cooler weather doesn't mean the end of outdoor decorating. Changing things up seasonally is fresh and festive and keeps your home from feeling tired. Even small details that are thoughtful can be very inviting.

 Stately Symmetry
Tall container gardens, when guests are coming and going during the busy season, you want to dress your best. The simplicity of two planters flanking the door, making it a focal point.


 Monogrammed Urns
To give a little more interest to standard urn planters. The gold complements the hardware on the door, while standing out against the black surface.



  Seasonal Seating
A bright red bench to the front yard, which offers a cheery spot to admire the autumnal foliage. We also loved that big front door wreath, which is noticeable even from far away.


 Hay Bale Vignette
If you don't have enough room on your porch for a big display, simply relocate it to the front yard. It creates a natural focal point and provides support for heavier elements.


 Asymmetrical Appeal
