Be a stylish host this Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving will be here before you know it. Do you annually host the holiday at your house or have you volunteered to take over the event for the first time this year? Whether you're a pro host, or more of a novice, Bazaar Home Decorating Center can help you create the perfect ambiance for Thanksgiving. Take a look at some of the helpful decorating tips below.

  • Get floral: Creating the ideal Thanksgiving centerpiece doesn't always have to be expensive. In fact, you may have all the materials you need right in your backyard. If you live in a suburb of Milwaukee, simply step outside and see what you can find. Houzz.com recommends using grasses, leaves or herbaceous flowers that grow in your yard to make stylish centerpieces.
  • Incorporate fall hues: Fall means foliage and deep shades. Add stylish table clothes, placemats and napkins to your dining room table in the hues of burgundy, deep purple or brown. Also be sure that your custom curtains and drapes correspond to your Thanksgiving design motif.
  • Spruce up your accessories: Thanksgiving only happens once a year. This is the time to get fancy with your dining room accessories, although this doesn't necessarily mean you have to spend a lot of money. Use DIY techniques to give your dinner extra flair. For instance, try dipping the handle of wooden spoons in paint to create an original look. You can also design creative holiday name tags.
