When it comes to revamping your home with holiday decor, Thanksgiving isn’t always top of mind. Many will go all out to deck the halls in time for Christmas or add a few cobwebs for Halloween, but a Turkey Day aesthetic can be a bit more nebulous. Well, for those that celebrate it, it’s time to get chic with these incredible Thanksgiving decor ideas!
01. LAYER OLD FAVORITES
When it comes to Thanksgiving decor, interior designer Michael Cox of Foley & Cox relies on some old favorites, including a vintage brown-and-orange bedcover from Jodhpur, India, and classic Vista Alegre cabbageware.
02. RAISE THE BAR
Thanksgiving decor isn’t just limited to tablescapes—curating a seasonal bar can also make a statement, especially when the drinks are flowing. “I like to do one large floral statement and then layer in seasonal items,” says interior designer Devon Liedtke.

03. ADD A FRUIT BOWL
Interior designer Jennifer Hunter let a mouthwatering pie and bowls of strawberries and blackberries shine at her home in Houston. Not only does it add a pop of color to the table, but it’s less obvious (and more tasty) than flowers and other blooms.
04. PORCELAIN PAIRINGS
Thanksgiving is the time to set the table with your best plates and bowls to impress guests. “I love to break out fine porcelain pieces handed down to me from my grandmother and mother,” says interior designer Chad Graci. “I cherish each one and love how they feel with my more modern pieces.”
05. PICK UP SOME PRODUCE
You’ll be spending a lot of time in the kitchen prepping Thanksgiving dinner, so don’t neglect the space when it comes to decor. Interior designer Maureen Ursino recommends adding a few small elements to really capture the autumnal feel.

06. OPT FOR SUBTLE ACCENTS
Not every Thanksgiving merits a total home makeover. Some, like interior designer Anne Hepfer, might prefer a more understated look. “I like to make small yet impactful updates with color,” she says. “There’s such luxury in harvest-inspired hues like cranberry and pumpkin, hunter greens, and earthy browns.”
07. ADD A POP OF POMEGRANATE
Autumnal colors run the gamut from orange to brown, often incorporating deep purples and reds as well. Audrey Margarite and Jennifer Potter of Fete Home recommend mixing a pomegranate hue with more neutral accessories and accents.
08. BRING THE OUTDOORS IN
At interior designer Beth Webb’s home on Bray Island in South Carolina, the decor includes twigs, feathers, and other odds and ends found in the surrounding woods.
09. SET WITH BAMBOO
Flowers are a go-to centerpiece, and are a real showstopper in this Thanksgiving tablescape styled by interior designer Paloma Contreras. Pair these blossoms with more organic accents, like an artichoke, or bamboo cutlery and plates from Juliska.
10. GO AL FRESCO
Thanksgiving dinners are typically held indoors, but if weather allows, the holiday is a great excuse for an out-of-doors gathering. Designer Kim Seybert styled this table with a classically autumnal color palette, incorporating oranges, browns, and plenty of pumpkins to set the scene.
11. ADD A STATEMENT LINEN
Gorgeous tableware is important, but a colorful napkin or placemat can just as easily set a scene. Jane Scott Hodges of Leontine Linens layers her Thanksgiving table with a mix of personal talismans and textiles from her brand.
