Aquothes Plaid Fall Thanksgiving Table Runner
Amazon
For an inviting Thanksgiving table, we love this tartan plaid table runner that’s filled with vibrant hues, like orange and burgundy with hits of gray and white. It’s a timeless pattern that complements traditional and modern homes alike. Layer it with a mix of fall florals and your favorite centerpiece, or keep it simple with a tapered candle display. At 72 inches long, it fits most standard tables, and it’s available in sizes for tables from 36 to 108 inches. The table runner also comes in two more autumnal color themes: rust red and warm yellow.
Pottery Barn Remi Block Print Cotton Napkins Set
Pottery Barn
Napkins are essential at the Thanksgiving table, both as a functional piece and a finishing touch for your tablescape. These block print napkins from Pottery Barn are filled with fall style thanks to their rich orange hues and abstract patterns. Wrap them with harvest-inspired accents, like Pottery Barn’s Fall Botanical Napkin Rings, then lay them atop a stack of salad, dinner, and dessert plates with a Thanksgiving-inspired placemat to complete the look for every guest. With their bright white accents, they can also be used with neutral placeholders like Crate & Barrel’s Papier Mache Pumpkin Placecards.
Crate & Barrel Valla White Ceramic 2-Taper Candle Holder
Crate & Barrel
For a Thanksgiving centerpiece that makes a statement, you can’t go wrong with Crate & Barrel’s two-taper candle holder. The U-shaped design holds a pair of flickering candles and leaves plenty of room for food and decor around its base. The hand-cast stoneware has a glossy glaze that can be paired with any taper candles (though we’re picturing it with orange ones to match the harvest-inspired theme). To add even more glow on your tablescape, place it in the middle with a Thanksgiving garland lining your table, then arrange flameless candles throughout the garland.
To complete your tablescape design before the holiday arrives, shop more of our favorite Thanksgiving table decor pieces below. We found everything from woven table runners to live centerpieces, as well as pumpkin plates, floral bunches for place settings, and candles.
Best Thanksgiving Table Runners
Pottery Barn
Whether you prefer traditional plaid or modern stripes, there are Thanksgiving table runners to suit any aesthetic. Opt for a classic look with the Marin Buffalo Check runner from Crate & Barrel, Williams Sonoma’s Jacquard Table Runner, or Pottery Barn’s Montecito Plaid Table Runner.. For designs that complement both modern and contemporary homes alike, we love Anthropologie’s wavy two-tone Madeline runner and the DII’s Dobby Stripe runner, both of which come in rustic fall colors.
Best Thanksgiving Centerpieces
Anthropologie
A beautiful centerpiece doesn’t have to take up your budget: We found wooden candle wreath rings to style around pillar candles, rustic vases brimming with miniature pumpkins, and a pre-lit garland that adds a warm glow down the whole table with golden maple leaves. For real plants to serve as the focal point, we love Williams Sonoma’s live centerpieces and Anthropologie’s preserved garland with spirals of eucalyptus and dried leaves.
Best Thanksgiving Place Settings
Pottery Barn
Whether you keep your place settings simple with plates and napkins, or go all-out with Thanksgiving place cards and themed plates, there are plenty of options to suit any aesthetic. We found a set of pumpkin-shaped ceramic plates with papier mache pumpkin place card holders to match, as well as fall botanical napkin rings. Arrange them with our favorite neutral linen placemats, then top them off with Anthropologie’s dried harvest place setting bunches for a designer look.
Best Thanksgiving Florals and Candles
Anthropologie
Florals and candles add the finishing touch to every table, and we found picks for every style. Add a festive accent bowl and fill it with Williams Sonoma’s vase filler set of pinecones, dried oranges, and leaves—or use Anthropologie’s Floral Mix Scatter to sprinkle throughout your tablescape. We also found wooden candlestick candle holders for taper candles, a dried flower bouquet for your favorite vase, and a flameless pinecone to add a subtle, warm glow.
