Snap
your living room out of the fall doldrums with these easy, inexpensive Thanksgiving
decorating tips.
Instructions
Think in terms of appropriate colors for
holiday decor: golds, burnt oranges, terra cotta, honey browns, olive greens,
rusty reds. Put away accessories (vases, flower arrangements, candles, etc.) that
are in pastels or tropical hues. Set out toss pillows in fall colors on sofas and
easy chairs. For instance, if your sofa is pastel - say, peach and blue - go with
pillows in rust; if it's pale sage or turquoise, go with gold pillows. Change potpourri
from floral to a fall scent.
STEP 1: Attach fall leaves (you can spray-paint
these metallic gold or copper) to picture and mirror frames and lamp shades using
sticky tack from an office supply store.
STEP 2: Create table decorations
that say fall and Thanksgiving: a tiny bucket or basket of acorns and fall leaves,
a scented votive candle in a candleholder hollowed out from the center of an apple
or miniature pumpkin. A nut bowl with a cracker is also appropriate. Add inexpensive
Pilgrim or turkey figurines or candles to your table to underscore the theme.
STEP 3: Post kids' Thanksgiving art projects in windows, under glass tops of furniture
and, using sticky tack, on walls. Tips & Warnings
Set your miniature pumpkin
or apple candleholders on a saucer to protect the tabletop from the candle's hot
wax and the produce juices.
Spices and spicy citrus are among the best fall
scents for candles and potpourri.
