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.

It's not just the heat that makes an indoor fire so enticing - the smell, the sound, the warm soft light; it is almost impossible to replicate the atmosphere conjured by a real, roaring log fire.
Fireplaces evolving for centuries at the forefront of technology and design, their decoration becoming increasingly elaborate, their materials more luxurious. The carved fireplaces to be found in grand historical houses are often mind bogglingly impressive in their scale and opulence.
Now of course, in the age of central heating, their functionality is no longer a necessity, leaving us free to enjoy their decorative beauty and the important architectural focal point that their presence lends to a room. Even if it is no longer in use, a fireplace gives an instant jolt of character. 

Eclectic Thirties-inspired style
Open fireplace has, on one side of it, an African carving and, on the other, a fun-size alligator - shot by a forebear. A basket of sawn logs, straight from felled garden trees,  feels very English.


Modern Blue And Green Scheme
 In this West London sitting room the fire surround from Chesney's has a strong linear design with echoes of Art Deco; a perfect foil to the cool palate of greens and blues. 


Italian chic
This simple, yet ultra-modern open fireplace has been softened with a traditional cast-iron basket.The monochromatic colour scheme niftily detracts from the look of the television. 


A cosy corner
Teal walls are contrasted with traditional, Victorian-style brass fittings in this living room.


Marble fireplace
Marble fireplace with over mantel mirror in the sitting room.


 Magnificent Marble
Symmetry characterises this sitting room, where the owner's nineteenth-century wooden armchairs covered in a woollen fabric and a pair of custom console tables are centred around a Fifties Italian mirror and a recently added marble chimneypiece. 



House & Garden.
 
Every style star has her tropes. What would Katharine Hepburn have been without her wide-leg pants (radical at the time), or Liz Taylor sans her turbans and diamonds? we're guilty of loyally loving pieces, patterns and even plants again and again.

A Signature Scent
You have one, your home should too.
Pattern on Pattern
It doesn't have to be colorful.


Garden Stools
In your living room. They say, at a glance,"I'm always up for a picnic and a G&T."


Skirted Tables
Full skirt. Round table. Instant femininity. 


Cozy Throws
All over!


Painted Floors
Whether you're reviving planks with a fresh coat or adding a herringbone pattern.

Gray interiors are growing in popularity, holding the edge on most popular hue for the second year for home interiors, according to the Paint Quality Institute.

“It’s understated and sophisticated,” according to the Paint Quality Institute in a 2015 color trends report. “And most tints and shades of gray are ‘chameleon’ colors that change appearance when the light changes, so they provide enormous visual interest.”

Part of the gray appeal is that the color can go with just about any other color, an easy on the eyes neutral that home buyers will appreciate too. Gray paired with other neutrals – like white, off-white, beige, taupe, soft blue, or black – can also provide a tranquil color scheme for an interior space, particularly for family rooms and bedrooms, according to the Paint Quality Institute. Many shades of gray are popular too, from silver tints to gunmetal, charcoal, and slate.

“Grays that contain traces of warm hues like red, yellow, or brown seem cozier, and partner best with warm companion colors,” the Paint Quality Institute notes. “On the other hand, grays that have hints of blue or green seem cooler and more austere, so they are inherently more compatible with colors on the cooler side of the spectrum.”
