Design on the Mind: Thanksgiving Edition

Are you ready for some holiday food, great company and relaxing at home? Here are some quick tips to make sure your space is most conducive to a heart warming holiday season!

• Kitchen: the heart of the home! Every cook needs a well-designed kitchen. The countertop is the foundation for a beautiful feast to come. Make sure you have quality cookware and utensils in your kitchen for the chef to make a great meal!
• Dining room: where art and food merge! This is a place to gather, conversate and feel gratitude. The right dining table for your home is very important. The table sets the mood for a peaceful dining experience. Choosing the right size, shape and material depend on your home’s theme and size. Allow at least 24 inches per person at the table. You can leave 2–6 inches between chairs, depending on how roomy you want it.  Leave at least 3 feet of space on each side of the table for people to pull out chairs and walk around.
• Chairs: the comfort and style of your chairs ensure your guests have a comfortable, pleasant experience. Do you like classic wooden chairs or upholstered chairs? Look at your overall theme and see what would support your dining table as well.
• Living Room: after dinner we converge and rest in the living room. Comfort and style are again imperative. Let it reflect your personality! The sofa is like the turkey at dinner, the focal point of your home.
• Colors: powerful for evoking emotions! Think Thanksgiving hues like orange, brown, red and green for a cozy atmosphere.

We hope you have a wonderful, relaxing and joyful Thanksgiving this year!
