Want to make this Thanksgiving one that will be remembered for many years to come? Then plan on decorating your home spectacularly for this very special holiday. In this post you will find several simple ideas on how you can transform your house into a holiday home using fall colors and Thanksgiving decorations.
Outdoor Decorations
Decorating the outside of your home makes guests feel welcome and helps get them in the holiday spirit.
Decorating Your Front Door
- Holiday paper isn't just for Christmas! Wrap your front door with gift-wrap appropriate to Thanksgiving.
- Add a "Welcome to Our Home" banner decorated with ribbons and fall leaves.
- You could also hang a door wreath to welcome all to your home and set the stage for celebrating. Make a simple wreath to hang on your front door with fall colors highlighted by golds, reds, and dark greens. Embellish it with a few small gourds, nuts, and ribbons for a special touch.
- If you use items from your own yard such as tree branches or fallen leaves, be sure to wash off any insects that have made them their homes!

Flowers and Vegetation
- It just takes one bright spot near your front door to attract the eye of arriving guests.
- Place vines, pumpkins, and mums near the entrance of your home for display impact. Separate the vines to add height and movement.
- You can plant the mums later and get flowers to use as part of your floral arrangements inside next Thanksgiving.
Indoor Decorations
Indoor decorations spread the cheer of the holiday season throughout your home.Entryways
- Make garlands from leaves, fruits, berries, and fall colored ribbons to hang from doorways, decorate fireplace mantels, and accent staircases.
- Alternatively, you can gather bundles of wheat and tie wide, wire-edged ribbon around their center. Then hang the bundles from your fireplace and on doors.
Living Areas
- Use fall tree branches to stretch a single bunch of flowers into several flower arrangements that are placed around your home.
- Use copper, bronze, and gold spray paint to dress up plain gourds. Fill a glass or crystal bowl with the gourds, oranges, and nuts.

Dining Table
- Make your Thanksgiving table a thing of beauty with a table runner with gold, browns, or burnt orange colors. Use iron-on decals or stamps in fruit and nut shapes to decorate your table runner.
- For a creative centerpiece, buy several pillar candles in fall colors and tie ribbons around their bases. Place on silk fall leaves or surround with nuts or small gourds for a special fall look.
- Wrap tiny gifts in gold foil, and top off with brown and red ribbons. Place the gifts on the dinner plate.
- Make place cards for every member of the family and any other visitors you may be entertaining. Include a note to each written inside of why you are thankful for that person and what they mean in your life.
