Fall Decorating Ideas

Time to plan for Thanksgiving! Here are some great fall decorating ideas for November.

First, pick a theme for your autumn table decorations. Beautiful Fall Leaf accessories are available, including a new Fall Check Tableware. Leaves and acorns in delicate autumn tones are arranged in a geometric design. The new harvest theme, Abundance Fall, features a tasteful pattern of pumpkins and a harvest wheat bouquet in a square plate design. The Golden Harvest tableware is an elegant design, with a fruit and flowers pattern that is truly unique. This pattern is graced with lovely chrysanthemums surrounded with fruit-o-plenty. Thanksgiving Elegance features the popular turkey theme. The new Symbols of Autumn tableware brings the autumn themes together with pumpkins front and center, surrounded in a circular design of flowers, leaves, and acorns. All tableware patterns include table covers, dessert plates, dinner plates, beverage napkins, and luncheon napkins. Some patterns also include invitations, cups, and other accessories.

Once you have decided on your theme, consider other table decorations, the table centerpiece, and wall and window decorations. See Autumn Elegance 18 ounce tumblers, in lovely colors of gold, green, and orange, which will compliment any of the fall patterns. Find martini glasses in these same autumn colors. To accentuate your Fall Leaf Theme, add colorful leaf window clings, in packages of 12. These window clings are easy to apply and remove, and create a festive mood. Hang an 8 foot Autumn Leaf garland. If you are going for a modern leaf look and feel, try the Fall Leaves Hanging Swirl Decorations. These come 5 to a package and hang approximately 24 inches long. Or, make a door curtain, of sorts, with the 6 Strings of Leaves. These can also serve as wall decorations. Click to find all Fall Decorations.

If you are planning a Thanksgiving or fall event that requires decorating a large space, consider the new Fall Scene Setters. These two scene setter decorations transform any room or setting into a fall scene in minutes. The Autumn Trees are 33.5 inches by 65 inches. Each is different, designed to tie-in with our Scene Setter Room and Border Rolls. Use double-sided tape or staples to attach to your wall or even layer over our Scene Setter Room Rolls and create your own autumn scene. The Autumn Landscape Room Setter and Picket Fence Room Setter are magnificent. These vinyl rolls are 4 feet by 50 feet in length. Room rolls are for indoor or outdoor use.

The table centerpiece is central to your party planning. A favorite is the 12 inch Honeycomb Turkey centerpiece. Find these in 6 inch, 12 inch, and 15 inches. See the Mini-Leaf centerpiece, standing 8.5 inches tall with fabric leaves. Fall is also an excellent time to use natural materials, such as colorful gourds, Indian corn, and sweet pumpkins to create a lovely centerpiece. These can be placed in a decorative bowl or carefully arranged on a yellow or orange cloth. Be sure to put plastic under the cloth to protect your table. Place a cornucopia, spilling grains or unpopped corn amidst the gourds. Add fall leaves from your yard. A beeswax candle in a ceramic holder can add serenity to the centerpiece.
