Thanksgiving table decorating with candles

Nothing creates an intimate dining table setting better than candles. Whether you choose tall candlesticks or tea lights, you can never add too many to your table setting. Mix and match colors and heights for the best look. And opt for unscented candles that won’t interfere with your food’s aroma.

Decorating with table runners for Thanksgiving

A table runner is more modern than a tablecloth. It’s especially useful if you don’t want to cover up your beautiful table but would like to add some color and pattern to it. The best part is that a table runner is versatile and comparatively inexpensive. Choosing one that’s about 12″ longer than your table so that it hangs just enough off the ends.
