Fall & Thanksgiving Decorating Ideas
With the holidays upon us we thought we would share some fun ideas on how to make your home festive and warm this season!
Add a few festive, fall colored throw pillows or blankets on the sofa.
Buy a pumpkin scented candle to make your home really “smell” like Thanksgiving!
Update your landscape with some simple container replanting. Use grasses, pansies, ornamental kale and Redtwig Dogwood.
- Arrange some pumpkins and a simple fall garland on your mantle. Pick leaves from your yard (or in your neighborhood) and arrange them in the garland.
- Purchase a fall floral arrangement from The Florist at Moana Nursery (let us do the work for you!).
- Design a harvest wreath. This is easier than it looks, but the folks here at Moana can help you realize your vision at a very affordable price. We promise not to take credit for it either – it will be our little secret.
- Get your kids in on the decorating fun by having them design/paint/draw some fall artwork for you. Get some inexpensive frames at the dollar store and display these precious works of art around your home.
- Arrange leaves in clear bowls on the coffee table, dining table or anywhere you want!
- Tie a ribbon with your favorite fall color(s) (orange, green, red, yellow, etc.) around some pine cones. Hang them on curtain rods.
- Use clean, autumn leaves as place cards at the dinner table (rinse and pat them dry). Write each guest’s name on a leaf with a black or gold felt-tip pen and place them at each table setting.
Remember to enjoy your time together this holiday season. Give thanks for one another and have a special holiday season. From our family, to yours!
