The big day is almost here! Here are a few tips for styling your home to create a space where you and your guests can create lasting memories this Thanksgiving🤎
Entryway:
👢Greet your guests with a welcoming entryway. Place a doormat at the entrance to wipe off dirty shoes, and add a wreath or other seasonal decor to the door.
🎒Include a console table or bench to create a space where guests can easily leave their coats and bags. Also, if you hope to enjoy Thanksgiving without cell phones, have a small basket handy for collecting smartphones.
Living room:
🕯️Add some throw blankets, pillows, and candles to your living room’s seating area. Bonus? Incorporate seasonal decor like pumpkins, gourds, and leaves to create a festive atmosphere.
🪵If you have a fireplace, light it up for added warmth and ambiance.
🧸If children will be joining in the festivities, put together a basket of toys and games to hold their interest before mealtime.
Dining room:
🍽️Decide if you’re going to serve buffet-style or family-style. A buffet will be fastest with a large group, but family-style is a bit more cozy and homey. Once you decide, it’ll guide your centerpiece and table decor.
🌼Add a crisp tablecloth and a simple centerpiece (an array of small pumpkins, gourds, or flowers). Keep the arrangement low so that guests can see each other over the table.
👩🏼If you have a large table, consider place cards to help your guests find their seats.
While I hope these tips are helpful, at the end of the day, it’s not about the food or the decorations. 🦃
It’s about you and your loved ones lingering around the table, laughing and telling stories, and enjoying one another’s company. I wish all those things for you this November. Happy Thanksgiving!🤎
