Aside from being the spot where most of the meal preparation takes place, the kitchen also becomes the main entertainment hub for guests and loved ones during Thanksgiving. While large Thanksgiving kitchen decor centerpieces can add a huge aesthetic appeal to the room, small items can lend a lasting impression, especially with the proper placement and grouping.

When decorating the kitchen for Thanksgiving, the main items that you can look into are those that echo the concept of abundance and harvest. This includes florals, foliage, pumpkins, wheat, fruits, and vegetables. You can also opt to use Thanksgiving food as part of your centerpiece, especially the nostalgic ones such as pies and sweet treats.

Since Thanksgiving happens between the fall and winter seasons, it also means that you can apply decorative elements that are appropriate for both seasons. Using wreaths, candlesticks, garlands, striped fabric, gingham patterns, wicker baskets, and wood, are just some of the many items that you can use to create a festive look in the kitchen.

Here are beautiful Thanksgiving kitchen décor ideas to help you prepare for this holiday in style.

11 Things You Need To Know Before Painting Doors Black

Sophisticated, stunning, and striking are all words that come to mind when I think of black doors. This dramatic hue fits perfectly with a classic or traditional style, elevates modern and contemporary dwellings, and adds a unique update to farmhouse design. Black doors are often associated with strength, power, and opportunity, which makes them a popular choice on so many levels (certapro.com/blog/residential/front-door-color-meanings/#::text=When used to paint front,connected to stillness and wealth).

I’m a proponent of making a statement from the front door that lets visitors know what to expect when they enter your home. Continuing black doors throughout your home is a phenomenal strategy to create continuity and flow throughout your home. But it doesn’t have to stop there! Black trim, accent pieces, and furniture can help achieve a similar look depending on your style and taste. Don’t believe me? Then, check out this sensational gallery of homes with black doors below and get ready to be impressed.

Do I Need a Formal Dining Room, or Is It a Waste of Space?

When my husband and I were purchasing our first home, my mother-in-law asked me whether or not I would miss having a formal dining room. Considering it was just the two of us then, the answer was a resounding “No!” After all, I was not about to host grand dinner parties or family gatherings, and we had plenty of family to visit for holidays and celebrations. And unfortunately, our budget did not stretch to a large enough home to include a separate dining room.

Fast-forward six years, and my answer may have changed. Now, with two kids, we’re much more likely to host family gatherings, and having a large, separate area would be a dream. Many of our readers and contributors agree with me, while others find that a larger kitchen serves the same function with more connectivity (jjonesdesignco.com/blogs/the-great-debate-open-concept-vs-traditional-floor-plans). If you’re unsure where your opinion lies, read on for the best advice and insights our readers can offer. You may find you end up changing your mind after seeing what they have to say!
