Thanksgiving Table Decor

When it comes to finding the BEST Thanksgiving table decor ideas, I have a few tips that I think will make your life a bit easier:

  • Tip #1: Plan Storage NOW! When it comes to holiday decor, it can be very easy to just buy more and more each year. This isn’t good for your or the planet! By planning out the containers and systems you use to store your holiday decor, you can massively extend the useability of your pieces.
  • Tip #2: Consumable Decorations FTW! When planning out your decor, I encourage you to use items that you can eat! Pears, cookies, pumpkins, etc, can all be used as part of your Thanksgiving table centerpiece, and be eaten!
  • Tip #3: Swap Out Black! You can easily repurpose a good amount of Halloween decor by swapping out your black linens and items for a dark brown or forest green.
