If you have a fireplace and a mantel – real or fake ones – they should be used to decorate for Thanksgiving. Fireplaces and mantels immediately bring a cozy feel to the space and decorating them for Thanksgiving will bring even more coziness.  Let’s take a look at the ideas!

Mantels

A mantel, even if it’s faux, can be beautifully decorated for Thanksgiving. It can be decorated with fall leaves, fake or real ones – make some garlands of them or put them in jars and vases on branches. Place some pumpkins – you may paint and decorate them anyhow and stack on the mantel, or put them on some stands. The pumpkins can be painted or decorated in various ways to fit your home, if these are colorful heirloom pumpkins, leave them as they are – they are cool! Go for fresh greenery and blooms if you want – they make beautiful cascading decorations and floral potted centerpieces. Add some candle lanterns, fabric and paper banners with various letters, framed signs and artworks. You may also go for fake fruits and berries or real ones to decorate the mantel – place them in bowls, add moss balls and wheat. Create any combos you like!

Fireplaces

If your fireplace is non-working, you may place some pumpkins and gourds inside, faux or real ones, it’s up to you. Put them right there or place in pallets, baskets and buckets and then there. Firewood placed inside is also a good and cozy idea not only for Thanksgiving but also for fall, and if you want, you may add LEDs to it. If your fireplace is a working one, create an arrangement not inside but next to it – some baskets with veggies and gourds, stacks of pumpkins and other things. Put some stools around the fireplace, put potted plants and flowers, candles in candle lanterns to make your own cozy nook for Thanksgiving.
