Thanksgiving 2025 Décor Trend 5: Multi-Sensory Thanksgiving Experiences

Trend 5: Multi-Sensory Thanksgiving Experiences

Décor in 2025 is about more than looks — it’s about immersive experiences. Thanksgiving tables are being designed not just for visual appeal but also for touch, scent, and sound.

Touch: Natural textiles like linen and raw wood.

Sound: Soft instrumental playlists or the crackle of a fireplace.

Scent: Layered candles that complement the meal.

Thanksgiving 2025 Décor Trend 4: The Return of Earthy, Warm Color Palette

 

Trend 4: The Return of Earthy, Warm Color Palettes

Minimalist whites and grays are stepping aside for warm, grounding colors in Thanksgiving 2025. Inspired by fall landscapes, color palettes lean into rustic oranges, soft browns, golden mustards, mossy greens, and deep cranberry reds.

These shades naturally complement candlelight, making rooms feel rich and layered. Tablescapes styled with earthy tones create a grounding base for glowing soy candles, making the entire space feel unified.

Thanksgiving 2025 Décor Trend 3: Cozy Gathering Corners

 

Trend 3: Cozy Gathering Corners

Thanksgiving 2025 isn’t only about the dining table. Cozy gathering spaces — reading nooks, fireplace corners, and entryway benches — are just as essential. Guests often drift away from the table, and these spaces keep the warmth flowing throughout the home.

Throw Blankets & Pillows: Add chunky knits, plaid throws, or soft velvet cushions to create relaxed spaces.

Low Lighting: Place candles on side tables, mantels, and windowsills for consistent glow throughout the home.

Scent Zoning: Use different candle scents in each gathering corner for subtle transitions.

Thanksgiving 2025 Décor Trend 2: Candlelit Thanksgiving Tablescapes

 

Trend 2: Candlelit Thanksgiving Tablescapes

If there’s one décor element to embrace wholeheartedly for 2025, it’s the candlelit Thanksgiving table. Tablescapes are becoming more intimate, prioritizing sensory warmth and natural elegance over extravagance.

Instead of one centerpiece, try grouping candles of different heights in the center of the table. Soy candles in jars, tapered candlesticks, and tea lights together create depth and glow.

Scent Layering: Use complementary fragrances in different parts of the room. For example, a pumpkin spice candle in the kitchen and an apple-and-woods candle in the dining space create harmony without overwhelming. Toasted Pumpkin Spice + Caramel is an ideal Thanksgiving dinner companion, as it blends festive sweetness with cozy spice.

Natural Elements as Accents: Surround your candle clusters with seasonal produce like miniature pumpkins, pears, or nuts. These organic accents enhance the authenticity of the table.

Ambient Lighting: Dim overhead lights and allow candlelight to lead. This instantly creates intimacy, making even a large table feel warm and welcoming.

Thanksgiving 2025 Décor Trend 1: Nostalgic Charm Meets Modern Comfort

 

Trend 1: Nostalgic Charm Meets Modern Comfort

One of the most prominent Thanksgiving 2025 décor trends is the merging of nostalgic charm with updated, cozy comforts. Families are leaning into traditions that remind them of childhood gatherings while mixing in modern minimalism for a balanced aesthetic.

Vintage Accents: Think heirloom china, embroidered napkins, and mismatched silverware layered onto rustic wooden tables. These touches bring stories of the past to life.

Modern Pairings: Instead of overloading the table with heavy décor, Thanksgiving 2025 encourages thoughtful curation. A single statement centerpiece — perhaps a bowl of pears, branches, or dried flowers — paired with an elegant candle cluster sets the tone.

Layered Textures: Wool runners, linen napkins, and handmade ceramics create depth and tactile warmth.

Thanksgiving 2025 Décor Trends: Candlelit Tables & Nostalgic Charm

Thanksgiving has always been a holiday built on gratitude, togetherness, and the comforting glow of home. As we approach Thanksgiving 2025, interior design and seasonal styling trends point toward one overarching theme: nostalgia wrapped in candlelit coziness. This year’s celebrations lean into timeless traditions while blending them with modern touches — think vintage-inspired table settings, soft natural textures, and the inviting glow of flickering candles that add fragrance and atmosphere to your holiday home. Stop back tomorrow when we start sharing with you the top 5 trends this year. 

Fall Project #6 Refinish/Treat Deck or Patio

 

6. Refinish/Treat Deck or Patio

Once patio weather and grilling season are over, then you should take the time to clean and re-stain or refinish your deck or patio if need be. This will help protect during the upcoming winter chill, of course, and ensure that you have a beautiful outdoor space for the next spring and summer.

Fall Project #5 Remove Dead & Dying Trees

 

5. Remove Dead & Dying Trees

As leaves fall and branches become more exposed, you may notice signs of decay or disease on trees in your yard. Removing a dying tree before winter arrives is crucial because snow or ice can weigh down weak branches, causing them to break and potentially damage your home or property. Plus, clearing out a dead or dying tree now means you’ll have less yard work to do when spring rolls around.

Look for signs like significant bark shedding, cracked or rotting branches, or noticeable fungal growth around the tree’s base. If you’re unsure of when to remove a tree, contact a local tree removal service. They can assess the tree’s health and safely remove it before it becomes a hazard.

2025 12 NY Resolutions For Your Home - NOVEMBER: Get Ready for the Holidays with a Fresh Coat of Paint!

 

NOVEMBER: Get Ready for the Holidays with a Fresh Coat of Paint!

As the holidays approach, you might want to tighten your home improvement budget to spend on presents, but that doesn’t mean giving up on your home improvement resolutions. One of the best low-cost improvements is PAINT!

An average-sized bedroom, about 120 square feet, will cost between $240 and $720 to have professionally painted, or you can go the DIY route to cut out the labor costs. If you’re planning on selling in the near future, choose a neutral color like Agreeable Gray or Accessible Beige by Sherwin-Williams.

If you’re in your forever home, experiment with some color therapy on an accent wall or in a powder room. Not only is a fresh coat of paint an affordable renovation, but it’s also a great talking point for guests at your holiday parties.

It's time to get CREATIVE...
