Spruce up the decor this Thanksgiving

November 06, 2012

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and that means families around the nation are getting ready to spend some quality time together while feasting. Although this holiday is mainly about the food, most hosts will also want their homes to seem warm and inviting for their guests.

Better Homes and Gardens Magazine reports there are plenty of easy ways to spruce up the dining room table for Thanksgiving and it starts with creative table settings. A great idea for giving your dining room a facelift is to infuse fall into it. Find tiny pumpkins and stencil the names of each guest on them. This is a simple yet thoughtful gesture. Stick the pumpkins on top of the plate settings for a little surprise. Switching out your traditional stemware for soft amber or light brown glasses will instantly warm up the space as well.

Purchasing Thanksgiving flowers to act as the centerpiece at your upcoming family gathering is another way to change the mood of the entire room. An arrangement like Teleflora's Amazing Autumn Bouquet is full of fall flair. This collection of orange and dark orange roses along with red carnations and burgundy asiatic lilies will look perfect next to the dishes served at your event.
