Thanksgiving seems to be one of the harder holidays to decorate for. Stores go straight from selling Halloween decorations to Christmas decorations and completely skip Thanksgiving. Try these ideas for easy and appealing decorations for your home.
Pumpkins
Pumpkins make more than a good Halloween decoration, they can be used for Thanksgiving as well. Place small pumpkins and gourds in various locations or containers around the home.
Color
Use fall colors such as shades of browns, oranges, reds and yellows. They give the space a fall feel and these colors can be incorporated in almost anything: centerpieces, table cloths, flowers and much more.
Candles
Candles seem to come with the fall season. They bring warmth to the room and make it feel cozy as the temperatures start to drop. They’re easy to decorate with, too.
Corn
Corn can be used in many different ways to decorate. Place a candle in a vase and pour corn kernels around it, use indian corn in centerpieces and use dried corn husks to make a festive wreath. Also, candy corn can be more than a Halloween treat. It can be used to make a wreath or a table topper when decorating a home for Thanksgiving.
Natural Materials
Acorns, pine cones, dried berries, colored leaves and tree branches can all be used to make decorations for your home. They all come with the season of fall and can be put together to make a beautiful centerpiece for the dinner table.
