Happy Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving celebration is fast approaching and with the days numbered, doing a room makeover according to the colors of a thanksgiving theme can be a pressure. Another limitation that most of us are more concerned with is the budget allotted for this season. Don’t let these things bother you, there are ways to get around your budget and still come up with a wonderful thanksgiving interior design for your room, for a wonderful thanksgiving celebration for you, your family and friends.
Collect. Every time you walk home or get home, make time to gather dry leaves, twigs, branches, pinecones and acorns outdoors. Collect heaps of this material until you have enough to decorate your cabinets, windows and countertops.
Optimize. Pumpkins have always been associated with Halloween but this time, you can also use it for thanksgiving decoration. You can place small pumpkins and gourds alongside your thanksgiving centerpiece or arrange from three to five larger pumpkins of different sizes in your foyer by the front door.
Centerpiece. A centerpiece should grab everyone’s attention. Putting one on your thanksgiving table adds to the spirit of the celebration. You don’t have to spend a lot just to buy a thanksgiving centerpiece. Simply glue in the leaves, branches, twigs and acorns together in a likely pattern. Adorn it with ribbons to compliment your decoration.
Blend. Think of autumn colors: yellow, gold, green, red and brown and a how your furniture, curtains and other items can blend into this theme. You can use one autumn color for your throw pillows, perhaps a warm yellow for the curtains, burnt red or brown carpet and so on, it’s your choice. Stay in line with the colors and you’ll have a great interior design without busting your budget this thanksgiving celebration.
The hearth is an area of the home which the family gathers around, representing togetherness and unity. As such, your mantle clock should be an important part of your family legacy. Who doesn’t remember hearing the sound of a mantle clock dinging on the hours each day in Grandma or Grandpa’s house? The sound of the clock, both ticking, and announcing the passing of the hours is an important family memory.
Choosing a mantle clock should represent not only your aesthetic style, but also the sound by which you want your children and grand children to remember the passing of the hours.
Whether you’ve been invited to a housewarming party, or simply know a couple new homeowners, a housewarming gift is a time old tradition which will delight new homeowners and allow you to make your mark on their décor. For townhouses and condominiums, consider a lighting fixture. Whether it be a lamp, lantern, or glass sculpture; chances are the new homeowners will have some area of the home that could use a bit more light. For a house with a yard, garden decor is a great addition that new homeowners are sure not to have. Consider statuaries, fountains, or unique stepping stones.
Whatever you decide to buy, be sure to find something both you and the new homeowners will appreciate. It will make your day to come over to their home another time and see your gift on display.
