Out of all the gatherings throughout the year, Thanksgiving is one of the most special. Sharing a feast with family and friends is a moment to be cherished, and it’s even better when the table is decked in beautiful details. Thanksgiving table decor is an art in and of itself, and Camille’s tables are always a feast for the senses. Creating a beautiful tablescape doesn’t have to be complicated, and the extra effort that goes into thoughtful place settings and decor makes everyone feel taken care of.
If you’re hosting Thanksgiving this year, or perhaps you’re in charge of ambiance and aesthetics, we’ve rounded up Camille’s Thanksgiving tables throughout the years below with links to shop the look, of course. They’re sure to provide you with tons of cozy inspo for your table this year. Read on for more!
Opt for Neutrals and Texture
It’s no surprise Camille loves neutrals, and a neutral color palette makes for simple and beautiful Thanksgiving table decor. To keep neutrals far from boring, be sure to include lots of different textures. This tablescape is a perfect example of layered textures, from the wicker placemats to the soft linens. Even the ribbed dishes and grass napkin rings are all layered seamlessly. The rest of the decor consists of dried florals, candles, fruit and cheese—easy items to have on hand all season long.

Let Nature Inspire You
The colors during this time of year are simply stunning—all you have to do is look outside. Whether you’re struck by the changing leaves or seasonal produce, inspiration abounds when you look to nature. Adding color to your tablescape is easy when you consider seasonal fruit as Thanksgiving table decor. Keep your dishes neutral, then sprinkle the center of your table with cracked open pomegranates, figs, pears and cheese. Add sprigs of whatever greenery you have in your backyard (these are branches from Camille’s olive tree) and if you want even more color, choose linens in soft, warm shades.

Add Pumpkins to Your Table
Before you retire pumpkins from your home post-Halloween, consider using them for your Thanksgiving table decor. It is still autumn after all, and orange and green pumpkins look beautiful among white linens and fall foliage. Camille opted for gorgeous caramel colored stoneware plates here, and a tablescape wouldn’t be complete without drippy candles. And don’t forget to include a cheese plate as part of the decor too—Camille’s three-ingredient appetizer works as a two for one. Simply place a hunk of good cheese on your plate, then surround it with crackers and fruit. (figs and pomegranate never miss this time of year!)
Keep It Simple
Let’s be real—there’s a lot to do on Thanksgiving day. If thinking about a beautiful tablescape on top of cooking and keeping your guests entertained feels stressful, remember that your Thanksgiving table decor can be simple and unfussy. Plus, Camille always sets her table the night before so there’s one less thing to do. This warm and cozy tablescape includes casual linens, rustic place settings, and a simple bowl of seasonal produce that serves as a beautiful centerpiece. There’s nothing over complicated about this table setting—the key is to keep it casual.
Play With Pattern
While this isn’t Camille’s Thanksgiving table, we had to include Betsy Sadler’s cozy fall tablescape because… well, look at it. It’s gorgeous! Her table is dotted with woven placemats and plenty of neutrals, but what makes this table especially memorable is the black and white tablecloth. Don’t be afraid to play with patterns for your Thanksgiving tablescape! Even a subtle pattern like this one will add visual interest and coziness to your place settings.
