Color Palette
When setting a table for Thanksgiving, don’t underestimate the power of color coordination. Sticking to a palette of rich autumn hues like deep reds, burnt oranges, and earthy browns will instantly elevate your Thanksgiving table settings into elegant Thanksgiving decor, all while staying within budget.
Table Cloth & Runner
A simple, neutral-colored cloth sets a classy foundation and can be dressed up with DIY elements. If you don’t have a traditional runner, consider using fabric remnants or a scarf in autumnal colors. Here are some simple and affordable table cloth and table runner options I love.
Centerpieces
For an elegant centerpiece, natural elements like faux foliage can be arranged beautifully around the table. Taper candles add warmth and an cozy atmosphere around a table surrounded with family and loved ones.
Place Settings
When it comes to place settings, mixing and matching your existing dinnerware with some dollar store finds creates a unique, cohesive look. Adding personalized name cards or DIY napkin rings (such as ribbon or twine with a small sprig of greenery) gives each card a special touch. Here are some affordable place setting decor and twine options for napkin rings I love.
With these tips, you can host a Thanksgiving gathering that feels festive and elegant without the hefty price tag! If you like the Thanksgiving decor in this post, you can find more minimalist and neutral fall home decor in this blog post!
