It is Thanksgiving DayWe love decorating quickly, because for those of us lucky enough to reunite with a few loved ones, the sheer pleasure of being with them again is enough to make the holidays special.
Here are ten simple ideas to help you set the table for Thanksgiving, so you can spend less time worrying about set the table and more time to be grateful to those around you.
1. Individual and compostable: a perfect combination
What’s hygienic, breaks down in two months, and still looks stylish? Tableware made of dead leaves, ie. You can feel better with single-use use this year knowing that your dishes won’t sit in a landfill for years to come and you won’t spend hours washing them. This is something to be thankful for.
2. Configuration with four “ingredients”
Only four simple parts make up this configuration and the colors can be repeated endlessly. A plate, a napkin, a printed menu (which you can exchange for a place card) and a branch of grapes or berries combine them in an almost professional way.

3. Unmatched ceramic
Perhaps the most beloved aspect of handmade tableware is the variation between the pieces. Some marbled, some swirling, some barely splashed with color, and that’s what makes this little table so stylish. All that is needed are basic glasses and cutlery.
4. Bring in external branches
Walk out into the yard and grab a branch from your tree before it drops all of its leaves, toss it in a jug, and leave it as a spectacular centerpiece. The cutlery each receives a sheet and this assembled table is completed in record time.
5. One color for everyone
No, we repeat: do not makeSo waste your time looking for matching bedding when the mismatched ones are beautiful the way they are. The trick to making this table look super polished is to coordinate the glassware and utensils, but you don’t have to follow any rules.
6. Blue flax and brown leaves
Similar to the leafy greens scheme, this setup uses simple litter, plates, and silverware, but looks intentional with a fallen leaf in the center. B onus points if you write the guest’s name in black ink.
7. Dried herbs and matte black
Dried herbs are always in vogue and feel especially relevant during this harvest time. Paired with brass and matte black cutlery, this is an ultra-stylish setup.
8. Twine and eucalyptus
There is no need for napkin rings when you can tie the napkins with a small string. Slide on a eucalyptus stem and it’s a nice little “package” to open.
9. The centerpiece takes center stage
The reason why this somewhat simple place looks so special is that the delicate flowers in the centerpiece stand out. It’s easy to fix one yourself with a few stems, or you can outsource this setup to a florist to make sure the table lives up to your expectations.
10. The most edible decoration
The cheese board on this table acts as a centerpiece (awesomeness), so that the artichokes as place card holders feel right at home. At the end of dinner, prepare them with confidence for your next meal.
