Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving decorating is mostly about one room and one evening: the table. Get that right and the whole day feels special. Here's how to set it, what to put in the middle, and how to turn the house over to Christmas the morning after.

Start with the table

Our Thanksgiving table setting ideas walk through it layer by layer: runner, chargers, plates, napkins, and candlelight. It covers five looks you can borrow, from warm neutral to plaid and pine, and a setup timeline so the table is done the night before.

Then the centerpiece

Low, long, and easy to move is the formula. Our Thanksgiving centerpiece ideas include six DIY looks you can make in an afternoon, plus ready-made options for anyone who wants to set something down and be done.
