I get so much joy in setting a table. I like to really think of the details when it comes to tablescapes and add on all of the layers. If you are a bit shy when it comes to decorating your home then setting a table is a great way to dip your toes into it! It’s a lot more manageable to design a table than a full room. I find that so many people’s homes are pretty neutral so it’s easy to add some color with your tablecloth. I’m certain whatever you do will coordinate with your room. Remember your tablescape doesn’t need to match the room. It is nice if the tablescape and the room talk to each other. By talking to each other, I mean that they work nicely together and are stronger together instead of fighting each other with different decor styles.

A couple of years ago I tackled a Thanksgiving tablescape at my parents’ home. They have walnut-toned dining room furniture so I needed to work with that. I decided to lean to it and go with colors that work nicely with brown tones. Enter fuchsia and plum! Plum is a typical color used in the fall, but when you add a bright fuchsia to it, it really spices things up and makes it more modern!  Of course, you could just leave good enough alone, but I threw leopard into the mix because it’s a fun neutral that works with all colors!

Here are some amazing Thanksgiving tablecloth options that can help inspire you as a jumping-off point for your tablescape!

Bright & Colorful: This is always my jam and it works perfectly during Thanksgiving because it works so nicely with pumpkin decor!
Option 1: Rainbow plaid tablecloth would work so nicely with a DIY pumpkin vase floral arrangement!
Option 2: Orange stripe is a nice option if you want to keep everything else on the table neutral and use some greenery for a centerpiece. I did something similar but added lilac accents in this tablescape.
Option 3: Blockprint florals give off a fun boho vibe.

Blues: When it comes to Thanksgiving and Fall where orange is a key color there is no better pairing than blue!
Option 1: Classic buffalo check navy that is also available in a bigger check version.
Option 2: Toile was the first pattern I ever fell in love with. It’s timeless and perfect!
Option 3: Fall plaid tablecloth with two tones of blue that play nicely with orange and yellow accents.

Neutrals: Keep things creamy and cozy and add on the texture with branches and burlap!
Option 1: Creamy plaid tablecloth that will immediately make you think of apple picking, pumpkin pie, crisp fall days!
Option 2: Lakeside Plaid has a bit of texture and frayed edges which help evoke that cozy feeling. That light tan color reminds me of a latte!
Option 3: Striped linen tablecloth works perfectly for a modern farmhouse that meets California chic style tablescape!

Pinks: Bright pinks and plum tones are always a bit unexpected for fall, but they really work perfectly in the season. They are in the burgundy/wine family just a bit less serious for my liking.

Option 1: Pink and green blockprint tablecloth that gives me John Derian vibes.
Option 2: Pink ikat tablecloth reminds me of one of my favorite patterns from Schumacher at a much affordable price point. So chic!
Option 3: Two-toned ikat tablecloth is another designer fabric look alike. It gives off this rich and chic vibe. It would be perfectly fitting for Thanksgiving!
