HOW TO SET A BEAUTIFUL THANKSGIVING TABLE ON THE CHEAP
Budget Friendly Thanksgiving Table Décor
It’s one thing to do the Thanksgiving menu on a budget; it’s another thing to set a beautiful table. Can you host 10 people for dinner and set a gorgeous seasonal table while on a budget? Certainly! And you don’t even have to be particularly crafty. For this budget Thanksgiving table, here’s how to cleverly set a beautiful table with just a few simple things.
Greenery: Go Outside (and Go Glam)
You can find inexpensive greenery and flowers at the grocery store (we’ll come back to that), but for an even less expensive option, go outside and stroll through your neighborhood, gathering leaves and branches with fall foliage for your table.
There are many strategies to make your home more cozy and welcoming. Using soft textures and warm colors, keeping other rooms free of distractions and using circular shapes help. It’s all about encouraging people to talk and share; warm colors like yellow and orange encourage self-expression; cool blues and purples keep people calm. Avoid stark color contrasts, pointy angles and strange materials; these things will make a room alienating.
Floral From The Garden
This pretty Thanksgiving centerpiece look is easy to attain. Start the centerpiece with as many greeneries from your garden, and mix them with other leaves (some leaves are long and narrow, some are smaller and rounder). Then, cut mums of different colors from their stems. Follow a color gradation for a contemporary look, and add some nice small pumpkins on the plates.
Just as with Thanksgiving dishes, there are many flavors to color palettes. You can use dark or bright shades, make it warm, or keep it cool. You can also mix it up for a more eclectic experience. No matter your tastes, you can play with colors in traditional or more personal ways.
Statement Gold Pieces
Grab a few larger-than-life golden fixtures at your local craft store, and paint them a uniform shade of glamorous, warm gold.
Natural Elements
Bundle together key elements of fall’s bounty and use them as an organic centerpiece on your dining room table.
Main Course & Sides – The Secret of Colors
Traditional thanksgiving dinners feature a main course, the turkey, along with a bunch of different side dishes like mashed potatoes, yams, cranberry sauce, peas and others. When you think of colors in home décor, they work in similar ways: you have a main color and several accents and contrasting colors to match it.
Good home décor should be the same kind of feeling: somewhere where a family can grow and learn together, where they feel safe and loved. Home décor is about comfort and style, about expressing your personality but also your aspirations and love.
Choosing a good color palette is a great beginning, but don’t stop there! You can also contrast textures and shapes. If your lamps are round and smooth, choose square tables. If your couches are covered in leather, have soft wool cushions and throws on them. If you have high shelves for books, keep the coffee table low. Adding contrast to your décor will make it less boring over time, maximizing your investment. In the end, it’s about enjoying yourself
The holidays are the busiest time of year for many. Decorating may seem like a daunting task and sometimes all we need is a little encouragement and inspiration to enjoy the holidays and remain stress free during this process
Don’t be afraid to spice up your table. This can be made simple by adding unexpected touches of gold and bright pops of color that bring vibrancy and fun to the traditional setting.
