Thanksgiving decor can reach well beyond the dining table, with layered arrangements for mantels, kitchens, bedrooms, porches, and outdoor tables. Velvet pumpkins, dried hydrangeas, autumn leaves, candlelight, and natural branches create looks that range from earthy and unfussy to softly glamorous.
Thanksgiving Decor Ideas Across the Home
Porches are only one stop in this collection of 17 Thanksgiving decor ideas, which also includes tablescapes, mantels, kitchens, and bedrooms. One tablescape often means Thanksgiving decor, with dried branches and real fruit creating an earthy style. Velvet and crystal give another arrangement a glam look.
These decorating moves can be copied this week and used at home.
Mantel in shabby chic style
A white mantel with delicate carved moulding is paired with an ornate gilded mirror. Inside the fireplace opening are a wicker basket, six pumpkins in pink, white, terracotta, and orange, and a glass vase containing a dried sunflower.
A woven basket at the hearth holds a pillow embroidered with the word welcome. An orange fallen leaf trails down the mantel, alongside a chalky white candlestick holder and an autumn wood sign inside a warm pine frame.
Turkey Console Display
A linen table is covered with multiple velvet pumpkins in blush, caramel, and ivory, lined up lengthwise. A pink velvet ribbon winds through them as a runner.
Among the pumpkins are a feathered velvet pumpkin, dried hydrangeas in mauve and cream, matching garden blooms, low holders with white taper candles, and amber glass goblets. The arrangement also includes a pink velvet ribbon runner.
Leaf Garland Window
A fine chain holds each maple leaf, and the handmade leaf display hangs before a window pane. The leaves are red, orange, yellow, and green.
Afternoon light shines through them and casts moving shadows across the floor. The display uses no tablecloth or charger plates.
Porch with Fall Trees
White ceramic pots hold two tall orange fall trees beside the porch swing. Large ribbed heirloom pumpkins fill the area in front of the swing on the porch floor.
Neutral pillows and a rust throw rest on the swing, where two small pumpkins are tucked among them. Nearby, round coffee tables carry a pillar candle and natural rope.
Porch with Fall Trees
In the living room, a wicker tray and brass candlesticks sit with a spindle-leg coffee table. A round glass vase filled with dried autumn hydrangeas in blush and bronze rests on a coffee table.
White pumpkins are arranged across the mantel, with a Frame TV above it displaying a lush floral painting. A dark leaf garland cascades beside the TV.
Pumpkin Table with Stripes
The dark wood farmhouse table anchors an outdoor Thanksgiving-style dining setting. A runner in red gingham runs down its center, lined with ribbed pumpkins in white and orange with tiger stripes. Glass milk bottles, taper candles held by brass candle holders, and scattered autumn leaves flank the table, while woven chargers, stacked white china at each place, and gold flatware set each place; string lights hang overhead against an early evening background.
Glowing Kitchen Island After Dark
On the countertops, candles add light around a glass vase holding orange eucalyptus stems, with candlelight visible on both sides. Two glowing ceramic pumpkins sit in the arrangement, while fairy lights stretch over a wood tray. A harvest wreath decorates the range hood, and a wood cutting board fills the background.
Bedroom with Pumpkin Prints
For November, the bed is made with rust autumn bedding and a pumpkin-print duvet. Two boucle pumpkin pillows sit among the throw cushions.
Above the headboard, a floating shelf holds orange mini pumpkins, with a leaf garland on the shelf and fairy lights strung through it. Beside the bed, a wooden tray holds a mug, with a votive beside the mug. A book is spread on the quilt, and a laptop is open to Gilmore Girls.
Dark Farmhouse Dining Decor
A weathered gray table holds a linen runner, shell-white plates, and pumpkins in plum, white, and cream. A row of books and a deep red berry wreath sit on the painted black fireplace wall, along with a wicker basket.
The wreath and books are on the wall, while the pumpkins rest on the plates. Above it all, wood beams cross the ceiling, and dried florals form the centerpiece. A distressed white hutch stands on the left.
Leaf Garland Window
Across the room, a window pane has handmade maple leaves hanging in front of it on a fine chain. They are red, orange, yellow, and green, and afternoon light behind them sends moving leaf shadows over the floor.
Porch Swing and Coffee Tables
Neutral pillows sit on a porch swing with a rust throw among them, while two small pumpkins are tucked into the cushions. Two tall orange fall trees in white ceramic pots stand beside the swing.
On the floor in front are large, ribbed heirloom pumpkins. Multiple round coffee tables hold pillar candles and natural rope.
Tablescape in Rose Gold
Clear crystal is used for the pink-tinted stemware, and the two pieces sit alongside each other. The table has pink-and-white gingham cloth, gold open-lattice charger plates, rust-colored monogrammed napkins, and gold flatware.
In the center, a wicker urn holds rosewater and an orange rose. Small terracotta pumpkins line the table edge.
Mushroom Table in Woodland Style
The table is covered with an animal print cloth and set with green Bordallo Pinheiro plates patterned like cabbage leaves. Chocolate brown napkins have velvet olive bows, and crystal stemware stands at each place. Moss holds up sculptural mushrooms, with owl figurines and forest-tone velvet pumpkins on either side; a wicker lampshade is at the far end and a squirrel-shaped salt-and-pepper set sits among the pieces.
Pumpkin candlelight wreath
A woven charger and white plate are visible at the edges of the slatted outdoor table. Set on the table is a pumpkin wreath with three smoked-glass hurricane candles nested inside it.
Eucalyptus branches, a dried hydrangea flower head, and a cotton stem are part of the wreath, while a rust-and-cream wicker and raffia pumpkin circles its edge. Candle flames reflect off the dark glass, creating an effect that warm LED light does not match.
Magnolia Leaf Table Setting
Late-afternoon light falls across a floral linen cloth and a wide white ceramic vase. Oversized magnolia leaves with amber edges rise from it, beside pale clay gourd candle holders and a low lit pillar candle. Mini red apples appear at the place settings, providing the only color beyond the otherwise gentle table palette.
Modern Dark Unfussy Table
At one side, dried corn remains in its husked wrapper. The black table holds seagrass chargers with fringed edges and white plates placed on matte black plates, along with brown linen napkins and tortoiseshell resin rings. Low woven white pumpkins cluster around a natural wood candle holder, which holds a tall white pillar candle; a single burgundy chrysanthemum stands in a bud vase.
Table with Amber Glass
Copper autumn eucalyptus branches fill the center of the table. Amber glass goblets and amber glass vases accompany place settings set over chargers made from vintage hardcover books, and pine branches run along the table length.
