Adorning your walls with Thanksgiving decorations that suit the occasion not only gives you a chance to set the atmosphere you want but also elevates your home for a truly enjoyable Thanksgiving celebration.

In this article, we’ll discuss four ways to beautify your walls for the season and expand with 14 simple and festive Thanksgiving wall decor ideas.

Shall we begin?

Just like your regular hanging plants, but instead of greenery, make it mini pumpkins, pinecones, dried leaves, flowers, gourds, etc. And instead of a regular planter, arrange these pieces in a wooden crate and try hanging it from the ceiling or on a wall. 

Your wreaths may look a bit lonesome if they were your only seasonal decor. So how about some matching garlands? Make the most of your backyard or garden supply and use the rest of the acorns, pinecones, walnuts, and cranberries you can find to craft garlands that accent your wall and make your Thanksgiving decor effortlessly consistent with the fall theme.

You may have some old flowers in your garden or front yard overdue for plucking. These are perfect for an autumnal floral wall. It’s inexpensive, unique, and there’s the added bonus of highlighting a flower’s beauty even when it’s not in bloom anymore. 

When you’ve collected all you can from your backyard, or if you simply want to switch up your autumn decor, you can always turn to good old wall art. We have three wall art ideas for you that will help your walls reflect the season.

This may be the best way to commemorate a traditional Thanksgiving celebration—to display plates designed with Thanksgiving motifs. A seasonal plate wall can feature images of autumn foliage, turkeys, pumpkins, pilgrims, and other seasonal decor elements. Instead of standard wall hangers, decorative plates should be hung with special plate hangers that ensure they won’t fall and break once mounted.

Of course, there’s the classic picture wall you can curate to display delightful imagery of the season and the Thanksgiving celebration. Take this chance to commission a piece or two from your favorite artists and frame your favorite fall landscapes, with pictures taken yourself even. These not only create visual interest but also pay tribute to the holiday’s significance.

The previous idea was a wall of themed pictures, but for this one, we propose your gallery wall as it is, with family pictures and other framed staples, but complete with various elements of fall decor. Some nice touches include dried flowers and leaves, a cornucopia to symbolize abundance, rustic wooden frames, and antique farm tools.

The fall season is all about keeping warm and cozy. Muted, golden shades dominate interiors, and lighting is key to creating a homey atmosphere with fall decor. Here’s how you can turn up the warmth through wall decor this Thanksgiving.

Wall sconces are both functional and decorative, so in light of the season (no pun intended), opt for some candle wall sconces that give the room a warm glow and make Thanksgiving gatherings feel more intimate.

While lighting and decor can make up most of your themed setup, it’s a good idea to start with a strong base as well. This means you can paint your walls your favorite autumn colors, like cream, olive green, or a brick orange. An accent wall provides the perfect opportunity for well-coordinated Thanksgiving decor.

Plan your Thanksgiving decor for pleasant conversations by the fire by sprucing up your mantelpiece. Take some of the above DIY wall decor ideas you like best and bring them over to the fireplace, whether it’s a garland, wreath, or a mini picture wall. 

Aside from DIY fall decor using bits and pieces from your backyard, there is a category of crafts you can make that even more meaningfully convey the meaning of Thanksgiving for you and your guests.

Simple but true to the spirit of Thanksgiving, this autumn decor idea involves hanging personalized thank-you notes on your wall where you or visitors can easily see and appreciate them. You can even attach them to the other Thanksgiving decorations you’ve put up. Mix in some quotes to your liking that relate to gratitude.

Take a bamboo or rattan harvest basket, decorate it with some pinecones, berries, leaves, etc., maybe write a message or quote in the middle, and mount it in the dining room, kitchen, or living room. Now you have a straightforward statement piece that gives a nod to the harvest and abundance you’re thankful for this year.

Count down to Thanksgiving with a handmade Thanksgiving advent calendar. Pretty and practical, this fun DIY fall decor idea helps you maintain a festive mood through daily treats you can look forward to and keeps the anticipation going as you wait for Thanksgiving D-day!

When decorating for Thanksgiving season, inspiration is everywhere, from your own yard to the people around you. Wall decor can be just as important as the Thanksgiving menu we want to perfect. The right Thanksgiving decorations reflect the true spirit of the holiday inside and outside you as you provide a warm welcome and festive celebration in your home.
