Fall is right around the corner so you know what that means… Thanksgiving! 

Aside from being able to eat all the food you want without feeling bad about it, Thanksgiving is such a fun holiday to decorate for. I mean, who doesn’t love fall decor?! It’s just so cozy.

But, most Thanksgiving decor consists of slapping orange and red tones on a napkin and throwing some kind of turkey decorations in there with it. While this definitely says “Thanksgiving” you may be looking for something more subtle and trendy (I know I am). If this is the case, you are going to absolutely love all these stylish Thanksgiving decor ideas.

This post is all about Thanksgiving decor ideas.

Obviously, I tend to shy away from using color in my apartment so when it comes to the holidays I like to keep things pretty neutral while still incorporating “holiday-ish” elements. These decor pieces are my absolute favorites to decorate with for Thanksgiving. Some of these I already have and others I just recently found but will definitely be purchasing for my own home this Thanksgiving.

BEST THANKSGIVING DECOR IDEAS:

1. Fall Charcuterie Board

No Thanksgiving party (or really party any) is complete without an awesome charcuterie board! Charcuterie boards are a party staple that not only require little effort and no cooking skills to make but are also super easy for guests/family to grab food and continue socializing.

Now that you’re sold on making a charcuterie board it’s time to make it a Thanksgiving charcuterie board- and it’s super simple. All you need are a couple of mini pumpkins to decorate your board with and yellow, orange, and red finger food! To top it off, incorporate fall floral arrangements and Thanksgiving-themed table decorations around your board.

5. DIY Fall Doormat

Recreate this Thanksgiving decor idea:

This is one of my favorite fall DIY’s I’ve ever done and it cost me almost nothing! I was searching for fall and Thanksgiving decor ideas and came across the cutest doormats. But, they were surprisingly expensive and I wasn’t willing to a good chunk of change for something that was going to be stepped on 24/7. 

So, I decided to make my own and I was obsessed with how it turned out. Plus, by making my own I was able to completely customize it to say what I wanted. After I had my DIY project completed I layered a neutral layering rug underneath and added fall plants outside my door. This ended up being the perfect fall decor to give my front door a little holiday spirit without breaking the bank.

I use bead garlands as apartment decor year-round but they fit right into other holiday decorations as well! Last year I used beads I already had and wrapped them around my fall candle and it added the perfect touch to my coffee table decor. You can also use beads to hang over pumpkin-filled baskets or as Thanksgiving table decorations on their own.
