Preparing your home for a festive occasion can feel equally exciting and overwhelming. When you choose to decorate for Thanksgiving using expert ideas, a few dos and don’ts stand out and help guide your decisions:

  • DO remember that less is more if you want a space with enduring appeal.
  • DON’T make the seasonal décor too obvious – steer clear of knick-knacks like ceramic turkeys.
  • DO use fall colors sparingly by blending them into your existing spaces. You still want the room to feel harmonious.

  • DON’T forget to bring the festive spirit to often overlooked corners of the home. Spare bedrooms and bathrooms, for example, can also use a special touch. After all, guests tend to visit more often.
  • DO opt for warm lighting to enhance the ambiance. Candles and fairy lights are ideal additions.
  • DON’T make dining room centerpieces too tall as they may make conversing with loved ones a challenge.
