#HarvestCleaning: Prepping the Dinner Table

Starting to get your house decorated and set for Thanksgiving? When it comes to setting the table, there are a few ideas that can transform your dining area and get your friends and family in the holiday spirit:

 Color palette
Choose a color scheme as a starting point for your thanksgiving table. Chocolate brown or crisp white are two perfect palettes to start with that compliment some rooms but might not work for others. Play off of the colors you already have and find a warm palette to kickstart the holiday season!

Personalized seating
Create customized place cards with each guest’s name and tie them to mini pumpkins for a personal touch. It will spruce up the table and make your guests feel special.

Fall florals
Arrange a floral centerpiece this Thanksgiving that includes berries, mini pumpkins, and other warm-colored flowers like yellow, orange, and red.

Simple setting
Your Thanksgiving table doesn’t have to be over-the-top. Instead, pair a few subtle elements with a neutral-colored dish set that is simple yet elegant. For example, add red napkins to compliment your floral arrangement, and place gold wine glasses on the table. Add a neutral-colored running across the table and you’re set!

Add ribbon
This is one thing you can keep around all holiday season - large bows tied around each chair. It puts that final touch to the whole look and makes the room feel special.

Decorate the door - Whether you hang up a sign or a holiday wreath, there are plenty of ways to show you're in the holiday spirit. Tip: When you choose neutral, metallic, or bronze colors, you can keep that decoration up way past the holidays!

Customize it - Show your holiday colors by adding some unique decorations, such as a Christmas tree or a Menorah. Customizing your space with these festive symbols is a sure way to get you in the spirit this month and carry on traditions!

Switch up bedding & pillows - Want a simple way to transform your home for the holidays? Swap out your summer and fall accessories for different colors, like red, orange, or even metallic. The warmer the colors, the more you’ll want to stay in and cuddle up, and so will your guests!

Add scented candles - Aside from the aesthetics of your home, the aroma you create can also spruce things up. With a mix of pine and cinnamon, you’ll feel like everyday is a holiday this month upon walking through the front door!

Put down a welcome mat - Welcome friends and family with a front door mat with a festive quote and design. Might we also mention, this is a great way to keep your carpets clean throughout the house.
