Take a look at your bookcase or bookshelf
I guarantee you have little decorative objects mixed within that could be used to add dimension or a personal touch. You can even use the books themselves! Add some old books, on their own or stack them, to create different heights to put candles or decorative objects on.
Go dig out Grandma’s china, or your own wedding china, and mix them!
This adds character, history, and uniqueness to your place settings. I find it also makes for a more visually interesting table when you combine different designs.
Mix up the kinds of candles you use.
Taper candles, thick pillars, thin pillars, using votives on some and not on others. And let’s not forget that you can always add in warm hued colored candles to provide that “Thanksgiving” feel. Don’t be afraid to mix it all up, I promise you it will look fabulous and intentional!
Go foraging!
This is the best hack I can offer you and will save you money. I’m not just talking about colorful leaves, I mean go cut down some branches (evergreens last the longest) or pick up some pinecones to work into your table decor. Another easy hack, is to fill a bowl with seasonal fruit or veg- think squash, pumpkin. Apples, pears, even oranges or pomegranates make beautifully colorful center pieces.
Get creative with a vase or antique teapot!
Not only are teapots a useful item to have on the table for serving some coffee or tea to guests, it can fill your table and be an unexpected decoration.
Use Odd Numbers
I’ve always been a fan of this simple rule and it has been proven time and again. This goes hand and hand with using different heights of objects. I would encourage you to think “one tall, one medium, one short”.
