Fall Home Decor
Hang a wreath on the front door and set fall pumpkin decor on the steps. Out in the yard, gnomes, garden stakes, and lights fill in the empty spots. Inside, a garland on the mantel and a few candles on the table carry the look indoors.
Hooks, Cords & Storage for Hanging Fall Decor
All that decor needs somewhere to hang: over-the-door hangers for doors, suction cups for glass, adhesive hooks for walls, and light clips for gutters. Cords and batteries run the lights, and totes store it all for next fall.
Thanksgiving Cooking, Grilling & Serving
By late November, the focus moves to the kitchen. Bakeware and mixing bowls handle the sides, a thermometer and injector handle the turkey, and Thanksgiving paper plates keep the meal from ending with a sink full of dishes.
Fall Decorating Timeline: September to Thanksgiving
- September: the porch and yard. Put out the wreath, pumpkins, and garden stakes as soon as the weather turns. Fall harvest decor like leaves, gourds, and wheat carries straight through to Thanksgiving, so save the spooky pieces for October.
- October: the lights. Shorter days make October the month for lights. Hang your fall decor lights along the porch rail or gutters now, while it’s still comfortable to be up on a ladder.
- November: the table and the kitchen. By mid-November, set out your Thanksgiving table decor and stock the kitchen with a meat thermometer, bakeware, and paper plates. If you buy a week or two early, you won’t be hunting for a thermometer the night before.
How to Choose Fall Decorations and Thanksgiving Supplies
- Outside, go faux for anything that stays out all season – Real pumpkins and gourds soften quickly in warm, wet weather. Faux pumpkins, wreaths, and garlands made for outdoor use hold up until Thanksgiving. The same goes for fall garden decor and fall yard ornaments: look for weather-resistant finishes and stakes long enough to grip soft soil.
- Before the lights go up, figure out the power – If there’s no outlet near the porch, go with battery-powered lights. If you’re plugging in, use an extension cord rated for outdoor use and keep the connections off the ground.
- When you set the table, keep it low – Fall tabletop decor below eye level lets people talk across the table. Adding a few Thanksgiving table decor pieces to what’s already there costs less than buying a second set. Keep candles away from dried leaves, garlands, and paper.
- When the turkey goes in, trust the thermometer, not the clock – The USDA says poultry is safe at 165°F in the thickest part of the thigh and breast. That’s true in the oven, on the grill, or in the smoker.
