The true spirit of Thanksgiving is about opening your home (especially your kitchen) to the ones you love. Before your holiday guests start to arrive, make sure your home is ready for Thanksgiving. This guide will help you figure out what living room, family room, and dining room furniture will do the most for your hosting abilities:
While you finish up the meal preparation, your guests can congregate in the living room or dining room with some holiday beverages before it is time to eat. End tables give everyone the perfect place to set down glasses and appetizer plates while they socialize. These pieces will make great additions to your home décor throughout the year. Just make sure to get some place settings or coasters to protect the furniture from spills.
Make sure every room is stocked with enough chairs to offer ample seating to all of your guests. Pick up a few more dining room chairs to ensure that everyone can sit down together to eat. Accent chairs provide a cozy conversation area in the living room.
Make sure your home is properly illuminated for the holiday by upgrading your home lighting selection. Table and floor lamps create atmosphere and allow your guests to see each other while they talk and eat. The right lighting gives you the opportunity to create the perfect home for entertaining.
Tie your new décor together with some fabulous area rugs that provide an anchor between your different design choices. Accent rugs can be used in the dining room to draw more focus to the table or in the living room to create a more unified décor.
