Thanksgiving Tablescape: Ideas for Your Holiday

Thanksgiving Tablescape: Ideas for Your Holiday wjfigw4q3

Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Are you hosting this year’s dinner? Your house will probably be full of family members, little children running through your home, and that certain excitement that only comes this time of year. Ahh, the holidays–aren’t they great? We all want the day to go smoothly, which can seem impossible when you have to cook, clean, and decorate. What about your dining area? Are you dreaming of having an unforgettable Thanksgiving tablescape? Whether you need inspiration for your tablescape or something quick and easy, we have some ideas to help your holiday look great.

 

Classic Colors

roman shades Thanksgiving tables cape

Fall is known for its gorgeous colors. The trees drip rich reds, savory yellows, and that fun pop of orange. You can’t go wrong if your tablescape embraces the traditional colors of the season. Decorate your dining area with fresh mums, decorative pumpkins and turkey decor. It’s quaint to find dinnerware to match your theme, and gorgeous candlesticks, like the whitewashed look of the ones shown here, add style and function for intimate lighting. Want to personalize your tablescape? We love the small chalkboard, shown above, for a fun addition. Write your favorite holiday quote, or have guests write what they’re thankful for.

 

Dark with Accents

SEASONAL STYLING - NYCLQ - FOCAL POINT

Thanksgiving doesn’t necessarily have to feature the “typical” fall colors. There are many ways to create a holiday vibe, even with dark tones! If you want your Thanksgiving tablescape to look something like the one pictured, you are certainly headed for an elegant, alluring scene. Add elegance by adding a contrasting metallic color, like the gold that is pictured. Your tablescape will be strikingly beautiful and stylish.

 

Light and Natural

Winter Tablescape

Some people love to put all of their Thanksgiving energy into preparing the food. Especially if you’re hosting dinner this year, decorating your table might be on the bottom of your list. We get it! The holidays are hectic, but there’s no reason to fret. There are plenty of ways to beautify your dining area and to easily make an unforgettable tablescape for you and your guests. Pictured here is a classy, festive tablescape, featuring autumn leaves, branches, and candles–and we love the simplistic beauty. With just a few items, which can be purchased at a craft store or even found outside, your dining area can be Thanksgiving-ready in minutes. The light and natural feel of this set-up will provide a great atmosphere for your family and friends.

 

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like…

Winter Tablescape

Holiday festivities! For many families, Thanksgiving is the start of the holiday season. Holiday music plays in the background while you prepare dinner, children start to see exciting commercials to help start their wish list, and there is a certain cheer in the air that only happens this time of year. If this sounds like your family, consider centering your tablescape around holiday decor. Include small accents of red, like a table runner or bright accents. Pine tree branches and garland is perfect winter decor and holiday-inspired scents are a great choice for candles. This magical season can be represented in so many forms; your possibilities are endless.

 

How Will You Design Your Tablescape?

Are you interested in embracing the classic fall colors? Do you love deep, elegant tones with a pop of gold? Are you more of a nature-lover and want to display natural elements? Whatever your style is, your tablescape is sure to be great. Do you need help with your design ideas? Stop in to one of our exclusive Hunter Douglas galleries to find inspiring displays and our helpful team. And, we can come to you for a free, in-home consultation to help add beauty and function to your home. Contact our team at Metropolitan Window Fashions for advice. Happy Thanksgiving!

Trending Style: Decorating Inspiration for 2017

Trending Style: Decorating Inspiration for 2017 wjfigw4q3

Fashion and interior design are constantly evolving. We love to see what’s abuzz in the ever-changing world of trending style. The upcoming season guarantees not to disappoint, as the complexity of worldly charm is met with permission for color and a ‘closer to nature’ vibe throughout. The top two decorating styles have been named for the upcoming year: Cove and Old Havana. Want to know more? We’d love to help you choose your favorite elements of design. Cove, a reference to the relaxation of the sea, inspires cool hues, soothing shapes and fluid designs. Old Havana offers a globally chic representation of Cuba’s heritage with on-trend colors and eye-catching prints contrasting with vintage pieces. From fabrics and furnishings, to relaxation and enjoyment, the trending styles of the upcoming year are full of the passion we all need to embrace.

Get Closer to Nature

Bedspreads & Throws - Lifestyle

The open air, colors of the sea, soft blues and greens…this season, expect to see elements of water, sand and surf come into play. The materials and textures of trending style are bringing us closer to nature. And, we all need more soothing relaxation in our lives. You’ll see raw materials in high design with a one-of-a-kind feel. Furnishings and fabrics will whisper about the tranquility of nature, surrounding your home in comfort while offering a sophisticated air.

Embrace Culture.

Arcadia Residence

We are so highly connected across the globe, and that worldly influence offers the beauty of culture and charm. Trending style allows us to embrace the culture of worlds beyond our front doors. Expect to see patterns and prints featuring the allure of global inspiration, like medallions and organic textures. Rich colors and enchanting tones will highlight fabrics. The unique look of handcrafted pieces will bring a comfortable feeling of home, while offering stellar design.

Bringing Trending Style Into Your Own Home

What’s the take-away of interior design this season? With both Cove and Old Havana named as the top two decor trends, you might feel as if they are at odds. But we’ve discovered ways that allow you to embrace the essence of trending style, and between the two of them, they’re not that different. In other words, how can you bring the atmosphere of designer styling into your home? Follow these steps:

  1. Find patterns that make you “Ooh” and “Ahhh” with delight. It’s more about the eclectic details of prints that will bring unique character to your space.
  2. Be on the lookout for colors that freshen up your home, whether in soothing tones of the sea, or the vibrancy of island florals.
  3. Bring in elements of nature–greenery and fruits add color, wooden accent pieces offer charm, and a gorgeous view of the outdoors will provide peaceful atmosphere.
  4. Let history play a part. Distressed wood and rustic metals offer a story of imperfection, which we all know makes life beautiful.
  5. Don’t be afraid to pair the old and the new. Life’s enjoyment is about surrounding yourself with what you love. Embrace who you are, and run with it.

 

Are you feeling inspired? We certainly are, and we can’t wait to see how these latest designs in trending style evolve. Ready to start a project, but not sure where to begin? We’d love to help. With our exclusive Hunter Douglas galleries, you can visit us to see fabrics and fashion to inspire the decor of your home. When you’re ready, we’ll come to you for a free, in-home consultation to help you decide what will help you bring about the style you love. Contact our team, at Metropolitan Window Fashions, today!
