Thanksgiving is one of the few days of the year where a festive table is the main focal point. So as you plan your menu, curate your playlist and create a signature cocktail, don’t forget to design a chic table display as the background for your meal. Read on to gather Thanksgiving tablescape inspiration for a perfectly styled holiday dining atmosphere.

Green and white elegance

For a timelessly chic and seasonally relevant tablescape, select a green and white table theme. Whether you have nature-inspired china, napkins or glassware, incorporating shades or green creates a soothing background for your meal. Use white pumpkins and various greenery to create an elegant, autumnal centerpiece.

Chinoiserie chic

Accent your table with chic chinoiserie pieces for a blue and white-themed tablescape. Chinoiserie plates or glassware, ginger jar centerpieces with seasonal blooms or hand-painted chinoiserie pumpkins can add accessible elegance to your meal.

All that glitters

Create a luxurious Thanksgiving experience with pops of gold throughout the table. Whether you use your grandmother’s gold leaf wine glasses, metallic candles, weave twinkle lights through the centerpiece or spray the mini pumpkins with gold paint, golden accents will lend to a lavish Thanksgiving meal.

If you want a softer, more autumnal metallic look, opt for rose gold. The shimmery, dusty pink color will add the same level of luxe festiveness, and the warm metallic will add a soft glow to the room.

Minimalist decor

Thanksgiving is a day of indulgence and abundance, so balance your plentiful feast with minimal table decor. A single pumpkin on every plate, a simple ribbon around the napkins or a pared-back sprig of eucalyptus will feel like a breath of fresh air against the overflowing servingware.

Harvest display

Autumn is the season of harvest, so style a centerpiece entirely out of fresh produce and greenery. Use this opportunity to take creative liberties to style seasonal produce like pumpkins, figs, grapes, fruits, magnolia branches, dried flowers and berry branches.

Display textured, neutral fabrics

After the big meal, set out easily accessible throw pillows and blankets in materials like faux fur, cashmere, boucle to create a comfortable place to lounge, post-turkey. Soft, welcoming textiles will invite you and your guests to take a few minutes to rest as you soak in the abundance and gratitude of the day.

As you plan your decadent Thanksgiving menu, don’t forget to spend time planning your tablescape to create an unforgettable Thanksgiving dining experience for you and your guests. A carefully curated Thanksgiving decor theme will instantly elevate your day of gratitude from the expected to the unexpected.
