Thanksgiving is here — a time to indulge in turkey, pumpkin pies and create a home that’s as warm and inviting as it is stylish. While the turkey might take centre stage at the table, your interiors deserve a little spotlight too! Join us on today’s blog as we share tips and inspiration for infusing a little Thanksgiving magic into your home.
Tabletop Drama
Thanksgiving tables offer the perfect opportunity to play with design. Mix bold patterns and unexpected accents: pair floral dinnerware with tartan, colourful napkins with hand-painted plates. Add a personal touch with tassel ties or embroidered napkins. For a playful touch, scatter miniature pumpkins or seasonal fruits like pomegranates and persimmons in a rustic bowl instead of a traditional floral arrangement. Or create a captivating centrepiece with a candlelit tower of candlesticks in varying heights.
Cosy Corners
Post-feast lounging calls for more than just a comfy chair—it needs a curated corner. This Thanksgiving, transform your favourite nook with layers of soft textures and warm tones. Add pillows with appliqué or bold embroidery and throw in a cosy blanket for extra warmth. For a dash of drama, choose a chair with leather piping or a pop of colour. Thanksgiving is all about family stories, so why not make this the perfect storytelling spot?
Pumpkin Spice Palette
Burnt orange, rich burgundy and golden mustard are not only perfect for your pantry, but they also work wonders on your walls, rugs and cushions. Add an autumnal rug or a fabric ottoman to transform your living room into a Thanksgiving masterpiece. Incorporate quirky art, playful collages or even a festive turkey motif.
Hand-Drawn Menus
Skip the generic menu cards and get creative. A hand-drawn menu adds a personal, charming touch to your Thanksgiving table. Whether you sketch playful turkeys, pumpkins or a simple doodle, it’s an easy way to bring a smile to your guests before the feast begins.
