Hosting the Ultimate Thanksgiving Feast: Furniture and Décor Must-Haves

Offering a warm welcome to your loved ones and sharing a Thanksgiving feast is the perfect opportunity to infuse a touch of autumnal design magic throughout your home. Our Thanksgiving-inspired furniture and décor must-haves will happily grace your home long after the turkey has been eaten, bringing a wholesome and cosy ambience to see you through to the winter months.

Set the scene

With all holidays, there’s a risk that your themed décor could feel a little gimmicky. To avoid this, add Thanksgiving-inspired touches across the home. Casually style a throw across a couple of sofas or armchairs, along with a scattering of burnt orange and knitted throw pillows. Bring more candles into your living space with gold or bronze accented lanterns or candle holders, and together, these simple touches will subtly speak of warmth and comfort to your guests. 

Add understated design features in the kitchen and dining room, such as a basket piled high with seasonal apples or figs. Gourds are the ultimate fall icon, and a reactive-glaze bowl of orange and green miniature pumpkins, casually styled on a dining room dresser or kitchen countertop, serves as a delightful nod to Thanksgiving, without feeling over the top.

A tablescape to complement the turkey 

Thanksgiving is all about the abundant feast, and though you’ve probably given plenty of thought to the turkey and all its trimmings, be sure to set the scene with a captivating tablescape that allows the food to take centre stage. Whether you’re feasting in your formal dining room or al fresco, bring the fall vibe with a rich, earthy colour palette and flatware in gold and bronze, accentuated by a scattering of tealight holders across the table. 

Add charm to your tablescape with terracotta serving dishes and rattan or jute place mats, to add just a hint of the rustic. Your centrepiece can acknowledge the season and the generous nature of the holiday, so think billowing floral displays or a festive dried botanical arrangement augmented with touches of gold and dusky ribbons to soften the look.

Furnishing for the family feel

What better time to bring a new item of furniture into your home than Thanksgiving, when your loved ones will be able to benefit from your new purchase? Nurture that feeling of togetherness with a new sectional sofa, which you can dress in russet or mustard soft furnishings. Create additional seating and a wonderfully inviting feel with a plush ottoman.  
Add a new extendable dining table to ensure your dining room can accommodate your full house this Thanksgiving. This practical purchase will be a boon for all your festive gatherings, and why not add a charming dining bench to welcome more guests to your table? 

A time to appreciate one another and to be thankful for the delightful home you’ve created, make this Thanksgiving extra special by elevating your interiors with an enchanting and authentic aesthetic.
