Below, we've rounded up our favorite pieces from Martha's Etsy curation, which you can shop below to create an endlessly stylish and festive Thanksgiving table display that's guaranteed to impress your guests.
1. Table Linens
Table linens, whether napkins or table runners, are a great way to add texture to the table while creating a layered look. The linen fabrics of the pieces below are perfect for capturing an organic and natural feel and can easily be styled not only at Thanksgiving but throughout the year thanks to their understated designs.
Take inspiration from Martha herself and opt for the table runner which she styles in the video; featuring a classic plaid pattern that's perfect for rustic Thanksgiving decor ideas.
2. Candles
An absolute essential to any Thanksgiving table setting is candles. From long dinner candles to pillar candles, these will guarantee the ultimate cozy and festive look to your table decor, while the fall-inspired colors are perfect for Thanksgiving.

Opting for beeswax candles, such as the ones included in Martha's video, instead of traditional wax candles is also a more environmentally friendly and non-toxic option, making them a sustainable decor choice.
3. Decor items
If you're looking to elevate your table further with more decor, the below items are festive while still looking stylish – perfect for hosting a large dinner party.
Taking inspiration from Martha, who explains in the video that 'wreaths are not just for doors' and can also be used instead as a beautiful centerpiece, we're loving the statement this fall wreath brings to the dining table.
4. Serveware
While these serveware items are not just for Thanksgiving but for all year round, the dark-colored wood of the utensils and serving board looks particularly great at this time of year, complementing the natural linens and organic textures on the rest of the table perfectly.
In addition, the Martha-approved white plates are the ideal upgrade from standard dinner plates with frill edging, guaranteed to elevate your Thanksgiving table decor.
