Not a fan of the traditional look? Sway the other way completely with a modern Thanksgiving table setting.

Switch fall colors for dark and dramatic navies and blacks, which let gold accents be the star of the show.

Make sure you don’t go too overboard with the colors though – aim for cohesion with a combination of red, orange, amber, brown and green.

No rustic Thanksgiving table setting is complete without a plaid tablecloth. Take it one step further and dress up a few tree branches with scattered flowers, mini pumpkins and berries, to finish the look.

5. Vintage: 3,349 posts

For true vintage chintz, don’t be afraid to mix and match your plates and dishes – there’s something quite charming about mix-matched dishes. Aim for three or four different styles to keep it looking whimsical.

7. Minimalistic: 1,444 posts

Alternatively, keep your Thanksgiving table pared back and subtle by decorating it with a simple yet elegant white linen tablecloth. Finish it off with a few sprigs of red gooseberry in a tall vase; or scatter some olive branches and light a few tealights.
