Thanksgiving Tablescapes: Simple Hacks for a Beautiful Feast

Setting a Thanksgiving table doesn't have to be overly complicated. Here are some simple hacks to create an inviting and festive Thanksgiving table:
 

1.    Choose a Colour Palette: Decide on a colour scheme for your table. Traditional fall colours like orange, red, yellow, and brown work well, but don’t forget the more contemporary classic use of white and off white. Use these colours for your tablecloth, napkins, and flowers.

2.    Use Seasonal Decorations: Incorporate natural elements like pumpkins, gourds, pinecones, and autumn leaves into your table decor. These can be used as centerpieces or scattered around the table.

4.    Tableware: Layer your tableware by placing chargers or placemats under the dinner plates. This adds depth and texture to the table. Use good-quality flatware and stemware for an elegant touch.
