Now that you’ve put away all your spooky decorations, you can now get ready for Thanksgiving and festive home decor! This can be a difficult holiday to decorate for. Thanksgiving requires more thought and planning than holidays like Christmas and Halloween. With that being said, here’s a helpful how-to on decorating your home for the fall!
Know Your Color Palettes
With fall comes neutral colors that are as warm as the home on Thanksgiving day. These include browns, darker reds, orange, tans, and off whites. Using these fall colors gives your home the comforting feeling of fall. This encourages the use of toasty throw blankets, warm beverages, and festive fall traditions.
Nature Inspired
Many festive fall decor items utilize fun nature fall foliage inspired themes. From pumpkins, acorns, pine cones, and leaves, you can never go wrong bringing nature inside. Adorning the inside of your home in fall leaves and putting a cheery wreath on the front door are fall staples everyone will love!
Cozy Nooks
Create a cozy reading nook for the best spot to read all of your favorite books! Best done by a window, you can set up your cozy nook with ease! Using plush pillows, a warm blanket, and a lit candle, you can set the scene for a relaxing experience. Your cozy nook can be set up in the living room, bed room, loft, or anywhere you see fit!
Scented Candles
Do seasonal allergies stop you from taking in the fresh scents of nature every fall? If so, a quick and easy solution for this is purchasing fall scented candles for your home. Scents vary based on your preference, you can have nature inspired, dessert inspired, and everything in between! If you’re the crafty type, you can even make your own!
Plaid Accents
Besides the 1990’s, fall is the most fitting time to use plaid and flannel. This is versatile and useable for anything you can get your hands on. From pillows, dining table settings, welcome mats, kitchen cloths, and so much more! Break out the plaid and leave the mullets behind!
Seasonal Table Settings
Make every meal this month feel like Thanksgiving this month by adding seasonal table decor. Seasonal decorative table runners, fall themed dinnerware, pumpkins, and fresh flowers are great for bringing the festivities early! This also saves you time with decorating for Thanksgiving and can give you a head start on some of the December holidays.
Give Burlap and Twine Some Love
Farms have a certain, attractive aura to them that makes them the perfect decor inspiration for fall. For a rustic farmhouse look, go to your local craft store and purchase burlap and twine. These are often used as accent pieces like bows and knots, or can be more complementary and be used to cover any floral arrangement!
