As the crisp autumn air settles in and Thanksgiving approaches, the time has come to infuse your home with the spirit of the season. Each year brings new trends in home decor, and this Thanksgiving is no exception. Let’s embark on a journey through the current color palettes and design trends that homeowners are embracing to create a warm and inviting atmosphere for the holiday.

Festive Entrance

Your front porch sets the tone for the Thanksgiving gathering, as it’s the first impression your guests will receive. Elevate the curb appeal with seasonal wreaths, a thoughtfully arranged pumpkin display, or the warm glow of lanterns. A festive entrance extends a warm welcome and prepares guests for the cozy ambiance awaiting inside.

Simple Tablescapes

For those steering away from elaborate centerpieces, the trend leans towards minimalist and nature-inspired table arrangements. Opting for neutral table linens, incorporating wooden chargers, and adorning the table with simple yet elegant candle holders can create a clean and understated look. This approach not only exudes sophistication but also allows the focus to remain on the warmth of shared moments and delectable dishes.

Warm Colors

The cornerstone of home decor lies in the choice of color schemes, and this year, warm and earthy tones are stealing the spotlight. Imagine the deep hues of oranges, the richness of golden yellows, the warmth of browns, and the vibrancy of reds. These colors not only echo the palette of nature in autumn but also radiate warmth, transforming your home into a cozy haven. Infusing these tones into your table settings, drapes, cushions, and other decorative elements instantly ushers in the essence of Thanksgiving.

Natural Decor Elements

In the realm of decor, a prominent trend this year is the embrace of natural elements. Homeowners are opting for rustic and organic pieces that seamlessly bring the beauty of the outdoors inside. Picture dried flowers arranged in vases, artfully placed twigs, pinecones adorning mantels, and even incorporating fruits and vegetables as charming centerpieces. These natural elements not only add elegance but also evoke a profound sense of abundance and gratitude — quintessential emotions for the Thanksgiving celebration.

Meaningful DIY Touches

A trend that has gained momentum in recent years is the infusion of DIY decorations into Thanksgiving home decor. Handcrafted pieces lend a personal touch, making your home more inviting and intimate. Whether it’s crafting your wreaths and garlands or engaging in the communal activity of pumpkin painting, DIY decorations offer an opportunity to bond with family and friends while also adding a unique flair to your space.

This year’s Thanksgiving home decor trends revolve around the core themes of warmth, nature, simplicity, and personal touches. By incorporating earthy colors, natural elements, DIY decorations, minimalist table settings, cozy lighting, and festive front porch adornments, your home will radiate an inviting feel, fostering an atmosphere of gratitude and togetherness. Embrace the season, and let your home tell a story of Thanksgiving.

Didn’t prepare? We have some easy last moment ideas!

Pumpkin

Well, hopefully you just have at least one pumpkin. It really helps to set the mood for Halloween!

Decorations

Even if your food is not very Halloweeny, decorations will save your festivity! You can make them yourself! Just fold paper as many times as needed and cut out some Halloween easy characters (pumpkin, ghosts, spiders).

Put your cut-outs around the table, stick them to the walls!

Done!

Put eyes on everything

Make it scary! Whatever food and snacks you have, putting the eyes on them will make it seem as if you have actually thought this all through.

It is not difficult to make the edible eyes (in case you cannot just cut them out again!), here is the recipe:

How To Make Candy Eyes

Add Coloring

If you are cooking something (anything), it is a good idea to make it look weird. So, why not adding food coloring?

And well, the eyes, too! (you can also make eyes with boiled egg and a piece of olive for your savoury dishes)

Fondant Ghost

If you happen to have some fondant paste, make a quick ghost and cover your regular cupcake! Fast and easy!

Blood!

Well, you can always just carelessly pour some straberry jam over any dessert to make it look spooky.

Do it with a whole cake and stuck a knife into it!

Costume

Don’t forget about a costume! The classic lazy-ass option: just throw a bed sheet and you are the ghost!

Anyways this year everyone is going to be dressed as COVID-19!

Have a spooky Halloween!
