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.

They look striking within the modern grey decoration scheme.



Flat Living Room with DIY Art
The sitting room is filled with improvised artwork; an acrylic-painted sample, originally done for a fresco later installed, with a sample for a door panel beneath it.



Small White Living Room With Mirror Wall
To create a feeling of cohesion through the flat, the walls were panted in the drawing room and the bedroom from Paint and Paper Library; the sofa, is covered in a Bruno Triplet linen.
 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

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.”
