1. Theme it woodland
Pine cones, wooden coasters and hessian fabric make stunning table decorations at any time of year. Keep it simple for thanksgiving and pair with pumpkins or apples from this year’s harvest, and come Christmas, dress it up by adding heavier foliage or a garland and fairy lights.

2. Fill a vase of seasonal foliage
A very simple thanksgiving centerpiece idea is to take a sweet vase and fill it with seasonal foliage. Place 2 or 3 along your table if it’s long, or one larger vase if it’s a curved table, dotting candles around for atmosphere. Come the holidays, refill your vase with fir or berry branches and fairy lights for the perfect Christmas table centerpiece.

3. Have a colored shutter as your centerpiece
We simply adore this thanksgiving table decoration idea from Bless'er House. Who would have thought colored shutters would be so versatile? Apart from transforming a room, colored shutters make a stunning thanksgiving centerpiece, dressed with sweet candles and pumpkins in colors of fall. To switch it up for Christmas, how about resting holly branches and candles in the center instead?

5. Dress up your cake stand
If you’ve always thought cake stands were for sweet treats only, think again. Cake stands are such a great thanksgiving and christmas decoration whether to dress up your sideboard or countertops for the season, or to make a quick and easy table centerpiece. Dress with candles, berries and pumpkins for the perfect thanksgiving table decoration, and opt for reindeer figurines or bottle brush christmas trees for a more festive look.

7. Dress it with hessian
What’s the biggest mistake you can do when it comes to table dressing? Spend a fortune on a festive tablecloth. You know the ones, with holly or reindeer prints all over that you can only use a few times a year, then it collects dust with the rest of your Christmas gear in your loft. The solution? Choose timeless fabrics that suit all seasons. Hessian, linen and crisp white cotton tablecloths are perfect for dressing a Thanksgiving, Christmas and just about any seasonal table.

8. Go outside and forage
How do you really dress a thanksgiving table on a budget? You go outside and see what you can find! Fall is an amazing time of year for foliage in rich orange and red colors, creating stunning displays on a kitchen table or around your home. Bring your pruning shears and head out on a walk. Come the holidays, do the same. You’ll be surprised how different the seasonal foliage is on offer.
