2020 is almost behind us (yeesh).
Things have been anything but normal this year, but all things considered, November is looking pretty good. Eggnog and stocking stuffers are popping up right on cue, and the colors of autumn are painting store aisles across the Hudson Valley. It is time to start thinking about Thanksgiving decor ideas before napkins and paper plates are all that’s left.

The holiday spirit is coming to life—maybe a bit too early for some holidays. But Fall Season is right around the corner, and your creativity will play a crucial role in bringing some semblance of normalcy to these atypical family gatherings. There are plenty of fall decor ideas that will help you keep the holiday spirit alive during your socially-distanced holidays. They don’t require a ton of effort either.

Town & Country Mag recommends using the iconic turkey sparingly. It is kind of a softball as far as Fall decor ideas go, and it can detract from the overall aesthetic when used overwhelmingly. Turkey-themed decorations should be sprinkled throughout the home as accent pieces because there are plenty of opportunities to get creative with the rest of the space.

An organic look goes a long way. And since fall is harvest season, produce baskets and seasonal items like pumpkins and apples make phenomenal decorative pieces for any open surface. You can paint them for extra wow-factor, or incorporate autumn-themed floral displays to create a vibrant cacophony of fall colors. Town & Country even suggests repurposing an autumn-themed wreath as a table centerpiece, with a serving dish or candle in the middle. Fall colors are short-lived and awe-inspiring, so don’t miss out on the chance to create a jaw-dropping tablescape this year.
The fall decor ideas we have talked about so far are intended to draw the gaze. However, you still need a plan to tie it all together. Most of us are fine with single-use plates and flatware for family get-togethers. Some of us are even required to use them this year. But if you don’t plan on forking out for expensive china, you can accomplish a lot with the right cloth napkin selection. Go bold and patterned or minimalist and simplistic—there’s no right answer. It is all about finding a contrast between your table settings and the rest of the decorative pieces. You can also use unconventional napkin rings and placemats to give the place settings more oomph.
Don’t underestimate the power of holiday decor. Like any sensory input, vision ties heavily into experience and nostalgia. Now more than ever, we have all earned the right to enjoy the holidays with our families uninhibited. No matter how things continue to change around us, the holiday spirit remains alive and well. Let’s keep it that way by making this Thanksgiving more festive than ever before.
