Thanksgiving Table Decorating Ideas 

Are you hosting Thanksgiving this year, but struggle to find decoration ideas for the table? Aside from the food and the glorious turkey, you want to impress your guests with an incredible setting.

The Thanksgiving table styling should be cohesive and leave enough space for the food and plates. Your guests should be able to reach everything they need without obstacles, so steer clear of tall flowers and candles. Simplicity is often the best solution and if you're crafty, you can achieve a breathtaking table setting with a few tree branches, pumpkins, and autumn leaves.

Read on below to find 5 ideas for simple and elegant Thanksgiving table decorations that'll make your holiday even more special.

1. Choose a Centerpiece

No Thanksgiving table setting can go without a perfectly positioned centerpiece. They represent the heart of the holiday and set the scene for the dinner table. Choose a centerpiece that's not too big for the table and doesn't stand in the way of food and drinks. The colors should fit the other decorations on the table and the rest of the home decor.

2. Use Seasonal Flatware

When choosing the flatware for this year's Thanksgiving table, go for seasonal-themed sets. Use fall colors like gold, copper, or bronze to complement the rest of the table decor. If you only have a silver/chrome flatware, use fall and Thanksgiving-themed napkins, placemats, and plate decorations. Also, make sure you have a big enough table to host everyone comfortably.

3. Add Gold Accents

You can never go wrong with gold in home decor! It brings sophistication and elegance to any space and will blend in perfectly with your Thanksgiving table decorating ideas. If you want just a sighting of gold, use it to spray paint decoration pumpkins, branches, or leaves. You can also use dishes with golden edges, choose a table runner with embedded gold details or use candles with gold lettering.

4. Bring Out the Fall Candles

Candles are an essential part of the Thanksgiving dinner table decorations as they add warmth and a sense of comfort. Many people choose taper candles for added elegance, but you can use scented fall candles to awaken the holiday spirit. Choose a scent that goes well with the food on the table, such as cinnamon, baked cookies, pumpkin spice, berries, apple cider, and vanilla.

5. Implement Natural Elements

November is the month of Thanksgiving and the last month of fall, so to celebrate that, incorporate some natural elements into your Thanksgiving table ideas. You can include branches, fallen leaves, pumpkins, cinnamon sticks, dried corn leaves, acorns, chestnuts, and tree barks. Use them on their own or make a DIY centerpiece, dip them in glitter, paint them white, or make candleholders.
