 | | + Big splashes of color liven up a Thanksgiving Day dining room. May sure you lay out placemats in bolder fall colors. + Make napkin rings out of hollowed-out mini pumpkins or gourds. Make sure to clean them out really well; using shellac will make them sanitary and will make them last longer. + Scent is the most often overlooked decorating element. Be sure to flood your home with warm, spicy smells, like apple-cinnamon and pumpkin-spice candles or scented oils. An inviting scent in your home - aside from dinner, that is - will make guests more comfortable in your home. And because scent is the strongest scent attached to memory, those scents may later trigger comforting memories for your family. + Making decorations is fun, but to make it extra special be sure to share the experience with your children or family. Home decorations mean a lot more when warm memories are attached to them. + The most important thing to remember about the holiday season is it's a time to be with loved ones. Your decorations should be a way to help your guests feel comfortable and welcome in your home. |
