A rustic Japandi Thanksgiving table setting
To create a Japandi style Thanksgiving table setting, we recommend a nature-inspired tablecloth like Pacific Blue. Its repeating motif is inspired by Japanese pottery and the famous seigaha pattern, which translates to “blue sea and waves” in Japanese. Organic accents like a green garland and a woven charger is best for this theme, and a napkin like Vanilla Glace keeps your table setting elegant yet warm, thanks to its golden touches.
Create the look
Blue, brown, green, and white call nature and freshness to mind—like a wholesome Thanksgiving feast starting with a roasted veggie salad with green sauce.

Prefer an explosion of color and patterns instead of the minimalist approach? Start with a lively print like Tropical Garden for your tablecloth, then move onto extravagant table decor like floral wreaths, colorful pumpkins, and matching floral napkins. Round out your maximalist table with a patterned charger plate boasting floral motifs to keep it cohesive—remember, maximalist doesn’t equal messy or cluttered. It means playful, multi-layered, and bold—just like your table linens!

Use red, amber, or green glasses to complete your maximalist floral Thanksgiving spread.
