For me, a dream Thanksgiving tablescape would include bold fall colors in the form of rich reds and burnt oranges, a softer accent hue in a mint or kelly green, and a perfectly juxtaposed rustic-meets-modern vibe in platters, centerpieces and glassware.

This is a beautiful runner to inspire a Thanksgiving feast for family and friends. I love the dark cranberry reds and burnt oranges set against the heather grey.
While the colors might be traditional, the block print style of the design provides a modern aesthetic for all design types.

This rustic table is fit for a king — but at a commoner's price. I love the rich wood and the casual detail in the legs. It's perfect for a country kitchen and large enough for favorite family meals.

These chairs would pair nicely with a large, rustic wooden farm table. Bringing contemporary accents to a country chic environment creates a playful ambiance.

These salad and dinner plates are just gorgeous. The burnt orange and pumpkin, the yellow flowers, and the sage and ash-gray leaves are beautifully balanced and would look equally stunning at a spring picnic or set with a rich cranberry colored napkin for Thanksgiving.

A basic white linen tablecloth makes an excellent backdrop to build on for family meals and celebrations alike. I love the simple design of the dyed green line and the classic fringe. Top with a favorite table runner or a contrasting table cloth for a more dramatic affect.

These mint green dessert or salad plates by Anthropologie are a great color to carry you through every season of the year. Pair up with bright pastels for the summer or deep hues for the fall.

These chili-colored napkins inspire an appetite and look fantastic with both rustic and contemporary place settings. Pair with warm woods and burnished metals for a little country — or block printed linens for a little modern.

Soup or sundae bowls — take your pick. These pieces of art are a treat to look at and would look decadent stacked high on open kitchen shelves. I love the colors.

Reign in cloth napkins and complement a rustic farm table with wood slice napkin rings. These eclectic pieces are the accessories to a table setting — and they can compliment any style you choose, from country chic to modern to vintage. It's all about which wonderful plate and napkin set you pair them with.

Classic bone white place settings provide an excellent starter palette for any style. From here your table setting can go any direction for any holiday or event, and you're sure to use classic white dishware year-round.

Classic hammered flatware that can be used as both casual utensils year-round and matched with fine ceramic dishware over the holidays is a must. These World Market finds are a bargain.

These dimpled glassware sets are irresistibly sweet — and perfect matches for an eclectic tablescape. The cool aqua, green and yellow tones bring a bit of color to your table and could be matched or contrasted through dishware and linens.

Fancy glasses at a fantastic price — these orange goblets are just the right amount of vintage to fit a bohemian theme. Plus, everyone will adore the royal treatment.

Stone coasters just like these are a bit shabby chic, a bit vintage and a whole lot of adorable. I love the brass owl imprints and would count these as a fall staple. Place them out on your coffee table as the weather cools or bring them to your dining table for miscellaneous glassware and as impromptu trivets for Thanskgiving.

Mmmm, a cheese course served atop these rustic paddle boards would look so appetizing! The warm wood tones remind me of fall weather, and the rustic stain and organic shape is so appealing. What a great year-round serving tray or gift.

| For a simple Thanksgiving centerpiece solution, try a knotted piece of wood such as this grapewood branch lined with orange tea lights, white mini pumpkins and red berries. |

| The modern gourd collection from West Elm would be the perfect serveware for delicious Thanksgiving Day pumpkin or roasted squash soup. Yum! During the rest of the year they'd look stunning on open shelves or a bookcase featuring all white dishware. |

These platters make beautiful statement pieces on their own, but when topped with a roasted turkey or your favorite Thanksgiving side, you'll hate to see the beautiful designs at the bottom.

Red candlesticks to bookend a contemporary tablescape? Check. These are glossy, bold and beautiful, and they would look amazing out year-round — but especially this time of the year!

rmichael A more contemporary Thanksgiving place setting. I like the contrast because the bright green and orange pop! Also, write your guest's names on the leaves.

gschneider We're fortunate to have lots of colorful fall foliage nearby & with interesting textures, too. So we used various large glass hurricanes, vases & jars & made large arrangements inexpensively. For Thanksgiving, we added large wooden crates/trays to the dining tables filled with ivory pillar candles of varying heights & added lots of leathery looking leaves. The effect was organic, subtle & very warming. Happy Inspirations!
