Deep copper and bright bronze are a lovely additional to a traditional table. I prefer to bring in natural, textured elements like these seed-beaded placemats so the table doesn't get too glitzy.</div><div class="desc" itemprop="description" jquery1351916662052="214" sizcache="53" sizset="339" style="height: auto; line-height: 22px;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQZKXklzQ6VGCAgpSBRyocVZXOKBmhTZ7iM5UVXQHcLvn-sfOIjf2YbiloC0VNRpRGIuU3TmkzAThZ_1hnCumxb4aeotJklgvgWKedVIqIOvyzYuL0-RRorEz-g1A5ZzU1WaT2QQSFK5zL/s640/Thanksgiving-Table-Setting-and-Centerpiece-Ideas-+Fall-+2012-+Ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><h2 itemprop="name" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Play With Scale</span></h2><div class="desc" itemprop="description" jquery1351916662052="214" sizcache="53" sizset="339" style="height: auto;"><div style="text-align: center;">Diminutive pears contrast with elongated stemware for a look that is elegant and playful. </div></div><div class="desc" itemprop="description" jquery1351916662052="214" sizcache="53" sizset="339" style="height: auto;"><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Erinn's Tip:</b> Slender amber stemware adds height and drama to a simple table while gold pillar candles and votives sparkle as the centerpiece. </div></div><div class="desc" itemprop="description" jquery1351916662052="214" sizcache="53" sizset="339" style="height: auto;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfS2DL3-p9u6plem6mUSSy9Omgpa7takKotXTsHWKpu0O-YUxbpxn5DvMIWx8MEUulfMk-r4AI-YTKxx7c7CHncbIncT8uDzhogJr55UsfoBz3RFh4_ZrUJ8aWHH5VoL7A6wXTA_XIoJON/s640/Thanksgiving-Table-Setting-and-Centerpiece-Ideas-+Fall-+2012-+Ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><h2 itemprop="name" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Opt for an Aromatic Centerpiece</span></h2><div class="desc" itemprop="description" jquery1351916662052="214" sizcache="53" sizset="339" style="height: auto; line-height: 22px; text-align: center;">Who said a centerpiece needed to time-consuming, expensive or even floral?

You don't have to get something <i>special</i> out just for the season.

Natural elements like wood grain candles and a rustic, hand-carved bowl filled with fall apples complete the look.  <b>Erinn's Tip:</b> "When decorating for Thanksgiving guests, don't stop at setting the table. The buffet, side tables and coffee table will benefit from a few fall touches as well. Bring in large branches of fall foliage and place in a tall vase for a seasonal decoration that is chic and free the best of both worlds. </div><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>

Courtney Dial of Pizzazzerie started with a black velvet tablecloth and dressed it up with dark red accents. To resemble blood, Courtney hung cloth napkins from the table and added red drip candles on top of antique black candleholders. Add a mirror to the table to reflect the eerie candles, and stick "Blood Red" labels on the red wine bottles.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBqEkg4SiYfkzO0OqJ5ZGxc5r9iXq0iJ72bpsrmaeJ0-wOOmJgPyx_H-T8yRNtGlZhZDPrAcdA6cKHFl2Ayj6JzTz5WMBAjM5vKTd_km90YxNQb1QKRdRBWl_M2K2rB4KCkg0QZ7mhHmQX/s640/Spooky-Halloween-Table-Settings-Decorations-2012-Ideas-from-HGTV-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Skull Decor</span></h2><div class="desc" sizcache="52" sizset="339" style="text-align: center;">Skulls fill this creepy dining room decorated by RMSer nyclq, who chose a black-and-white theme. She topped a gauze table runner with a delicate branch centerpiece that holds skull tea lights. The skull theme is carried through to the buffet table, featuring black candelabras and a mummy skeleton.

Korinne Seel of Swank Sweets set a playful spider web tablecloth as the backdrop and enhanced it with inexpensive paper Halloween fans. All the edibles are from the local supermarket and customized with party printables by Anders Ruff Custom Designs.

Here, the orange color pops in the neutral living room.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieNCeyIoyZUqINyOKrwddS_USkWp8riNqA083TVkw67Vn-c7yUehSTXtED7mskP0N5omFRTZI-M3O4Ar8XLIGhbyiW-pozUnfgczvLXcTQWaqZjNdfTLO-vcN7vlqyCoqdMtjAMmwqkk8/s640/lori-dennis-modern-living-room-2012-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfPGwGQYvtu0y9hdModJIIamKQbg8zGXq2_U1cXYhTINv0chbUqIFPYCKO37h1eLyUs1nNap8mQ4FnjpsstB66LlDVSvGF6d-A-Mx_pP8MXWy44TfEjd-i_uJnWd2VY8pToq08ZX7n8mc/s640/lori-dennis-modern-living-room-2012.jpg" width="480" /></div><br />Lots of color, pattern and texture mixed together maximize the drama of this loft space. Adding a few living things to the environment is not only feng shui, but helps clean the air with fresh oxygen.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi5OiMpXSL7FW_1pSSHd42ElAbA3v1ozGusRqx8zswujOjM3cyM3PmfFDhyphenhyphenVMdEuotUnF7eda9vPnX9vkhHVHxfuUgyb1Ihr2fEwpEClOsVDQMBGVfBCNBJG7JKPNtM-65BqPLX6TK_kI/s640/lori-dennis-modern-living-room-2012-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><b>Design Tip:</b> If your bedroom is visible to the main living area, make sure to face the bed to the door. Not only does the person in bed feel more comfortable with being able to view who is entering the room (a feng shui principle), but it looks great!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1T03qmlcvomTe-hx_twM1EqzSZPXFeI9Xo3qrn0kLlzjWDQp5HdGYiHq6acVDrJ9Ua5d_6kP5H2LlDbhVYoRgaQVpI82cF3XTT18Go-I-0oMuTrVKNvdAsMRHHeBzSxV5j5eyTh-rO_k/s640/lori-dennis-modern-living-room-2012-9.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /> Metal Venetian blinds work well with this loft's uber-urban exterior. Commercial surfaces mix well with sophisticated fabrics to create a sanctuary where luxury rules.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUd3SKgfcjlLce8azTJqARDIS6v6BxjWEOvfUPBJp2GtDnOWIfZzayYzcyqluMesnZA622T1RHVSCHY6cHRGTJ0G1UoHEbnbBvAeZiNXHb0076J6gZpxP2lZaoQi6FRDyYxuF5MRFpIxI/s640/lori-dennis-modern-living-room-2012-13.jpg" width="480" /></div><br />Rich colors, antique rugs and modern furniture combined with traditional architecture create a dramatic contemporary living area.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipqnvQD-OqP9VnpwcRstj5HloBvSMi1fBibhMKXpsyOSigyoPfgKFyMwqoZSu8DOCOWhH3F29LLlWuFH1CORnGrGWE7AFrYIIf6N-XOtsVntD-ZuftuKNWUBD3kBNcMmqffqy6OLt0hKI/s640/lori-dennis-modern-living-room-2012-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><br />Fun details like a faux crocodile ottoman make this family space interesting and exciting.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh82V8D73gnRGAa3FNnj0fuINUwciOXXF5d0ZyGTOCSB844wENMV_zMfXm7xs1P3p_CYv9cV-5pJhSdxJnRdIPuqxdDMlemtXpmF1UCFUkwdDheGHVcV17504fz961IqmHYixE5dhV-idA/s640/lori-dennis-modern-living-room-2012-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><br />Cool turquoise blues on the ottoman, pillows and drapery and the reclaimed wood tables and sea urchin lamps give the room a coastal feeling. Ultrasuede is the perfect material to use when you want to have light-colored fabric in a high-traffic room. It is extremely durable and easy to clean.
