4 Tips For Decorating Your Home For Thanksgiving

Home / Archives for Furniture

November is the chilly, fun month that is smack dab in the middle of the holiday season. It is a time for being grateful for your blessings, for spending time with family, and for preparing to get fat on delicious food. It is also a time to be looking for ways to spruce up your home for the upcoming holidays. Although everyone loves Christmas, Thanksgiving should get some decorations too. Thankfully, we have compiled some tips for decorating your home for Thanksgiving.

Tip #1: Play With Leaves

One of the most fun parts of fall is raking up and playing in leaves. Well, there are other ways to play with leaves through decorating your home for Thanksgiving. Any craft store will have garlands of leaves. Buy a few strings of these and hang them up on your mantle, above windows or doors or gracefully lay them on your table as part of a centerpiece. 

Consider weaving faux leaves or even real leaves into a wreath for your front door or to hang on your wall. Lastly, anything that you can acquire that has leaves on it will be a safe bet for a cute, fall-themed home. Pillows or pillow covers with embroidery, tablecloths or kitchen towels with subtle patterns, and dishes or vases in the shape of leaves are all great choices for celebrating autumn and Thanksgiving.

Tip #2: Keep It Cozy

Another tip for decorating your home for Thanksgiving is to give your home a cozy feel. When your family gathers together for a Thanksgiving meal, you want them to feel not only happy but comfortable and snug. To create this feeling, add texture and warmth to your rooms. In the living rooms, add warm colored blankets and pillows that people can nestle into. Consider adding candles to give your rooms extra warmth and give the eyes pleasing light patterns to follow. Really the only other tip to get your home to be even more cozy is to add your family and friends and enjoy the season.

Tip #3: Make It Pop

With any holiday, putting up certain colors is a big part of celebrating. Halloween is orange and black, Christmas is red and green, and Easter is pastels. When you are decorating your home for Thanksgiving, you have multiple options to choose from including red, yellow, orange, brown and gold. However, do not be afraid to add a pop of color to your decorations. A bright blue picture frame or a dark purple vase can really help set off the traditional fall colors in your home. The trick is to have fun with it!

Tip #4: Add Something Fresh

Our last tip for decorating your home for Thanksgiving is to add something fresh to your home. Pick up some pumpkins from the supermarket or go to the patch with the family in order to freshen up your porch or kitchen table. Do not be afraid to switch it up and get some gourds or some pumpkins that have unconventional colors. You could paint your pumpkins or place flowers or candles in or around your pumpkins. If pumpkins or gourds are not really your thing, then try getting some corn husks and hang them up or find some flowers that are in season and place them around your home.

Buy A New Rug

Rugs and carpets are a classic way to add more color and pattern to your rooms.

A rug can freshen up a drab space and add interest. Lastly, rugs and carpets add another layer to a room’s depth and can ad more texture and warmth to a room.

Paint The Mirror

If you have a mirror or a picture frame in the room, an idea to add color to your home would be to paint the frame. You could also buy frames already in a color of your choice. A cute thing to do may be to find a painting that has many of the colors that you want in the room and paint the frame to match. Another option may be to paint the mirror itself to have an interesting design or image.

Add A Blanket Or Pillow

Another great way to add a pop of color to your home would be to add a cool patterned blanket or pillow. This one can be fun because there are all sorts of different types of pillows and blankets out there. You could also place a pillow cover over some pillows based on the season or on your mood of how you would like the room to look like. This tip also applies to having colorful drapes or table cloths.

Spruce Up The Walls

Don’t be afraid to add some color to your walls. This could simply be throwing up some colorful pictures or plates on the wall or adding some colorful light fixtures. Another way to spruce up your walls may be to add an accent wall to your room, or even a section of your wall to create a certain focal point for an object or picture. Adding a fresh coat of paint to your bookshelf may also be the perfect way to include some color in your home. Another way to add color and to use fun textures on your walls would be to hang up tapestries or dried flowers.

Add A New Piece Of Furniture

The last way to incorporate color in your home is to add a new piece of furniture that contrasts and complements your room. This may be a bright bench, a cool chair, or a decorative dresser. Even adding an interesting patterned lamp shade can do wonders for making your room come together. You could even recover an old piece of furniture to give it new life.

Mirrors are a wonderful tool to help the interior of your home seem bigger, brighter and visually more appealing. Mirrors are a great addition to any room because they are both practical and stylish. There are all sorts of mirrors and so many creative ways to implement them into your home’s décor. Following are some ways to use mirrors in your home to make your space feel more inviting.

Create Light

How To Use A Mirror In Your Home

One of the most fun things that mirrors can do for your home is create light. Because mirrors reflect light, if you place a mirror in a darker room, it will not feel as heavy. Try placing a mirror across from a natural light source and see how it changes your space. Mirrors are a great idea in rooms that are painted darker colors in order to help the room feel less stuffy. Another way to do this may be to place a lamp or chandelier near a mirror. However, be sure to strategically place the mirror so that the refracting image of the light bulbs will not blind anyone.

Make A Space Feel Larger

Mirrors are also really useful for making smaller spaces feel larger. The reflections in mirrors give further depth to a room. The size of the mirror is important in this circumstance because the bigger the mirror, the bigger the space will feel. Tall mirrors may be useful in tall rooms and long mirrors may make a room feel larger.

Call Attention to Certain Spaces

A great way to spotlight certain spaces or objects in a room is to use a mirror. Place the mirror across from your favorite part of the room or create a centerpiece to highlight. It is important to think about what the reflection of the mirror is showing, because if it is showing a lot of objects it can make the room feel chaotic. The key is to use mirrors to balance a space.

Create Texture

A mirror can not only feature other objects but can be the focal point itself. The way to do this might be to choose a mirror that has an interesting shape or frame. Objects with mirrored faces may also be a good way to add texture to a room.

Choose The Right Mirror

Another crucial decorating tip is to make sure that you choose the right mirror for your space. As mentioned previously, the size of the mirror is important. A smaller mirror will give certain dimensions to your space while larger mirrors will give others. Choosing a mirror based on the frame is also important. You will most likely want to choose a mirror that fits in with the space you have already. You could also use multiple mirrors to fill a space or different shaped mirrors. Another option to keep in mind is that you do not necessarily have to use a wall mirror. You could purchase furniture with mirrored faces or that are reflective in some way. An example may be a wardrobe or a chest of drawers. Lastly, consider the qualities you want in a mirror. Some things to think about may be how thick you want the glass, whether you want the glass to be distorted or clear, and if you want the mirror to be more simple or ornate.

Have Fun With It

There are many ways to incorporate mirrors to your rooms. The most important mirror tip is to do what makes the room feel like it is yours. Make sure to do what looks good to you. Interior design and choosing furniture is a fun thing that is completely personal to each individual. So enjoy it!
