How to get the look, step by step
- 1Photograph your front yard in daylight with the widest view you can frame — the RivAI app needs the whole space to work with.
- 2Set the base: Rust (#B5502A) for cushions, napkins, accent decor.
- 3Edge every bed with a clean cut or metal edging; the edge line is what reads as maintained.
- 4Bring in linen table runners and napkins and real pumpkins, gourds and squash — the two signature materials of Thanksgiving design.
- 5Add one statement piece: layered thanksgiving table setting with chargers.
- 6Finish with cream (#F2EAD9) accents in textiles or decor, keeping them under 10% of the visual field.
Key materials
- Linen table runners and napkins
- Real pumpkins, gourds and squash
- Dried wheat, leaves and pampas grass
- Wood serving boards and chargers
- Brass and copper candle holders
Furniture to look for
- Layered Thanksgiving table setting with chargers
- Low centerpiece of pumpkins, candles and foliage
- Plaid or velvet throw pillows and blankets
- Autumn wreath on the front door
- Styled mantel or sideboard with gourds and candles
Mistakes to avoid
- Planting shrubs that grow over windows and swallow the facade within five years.
- Hiding the front door behind planting or an indirect path, so guests hesitate about where to go.
- Overplanting with too many species, which reads as clutter from the street.
Budget tips
- Edge and mulch existing beds before buying a single plant - crisp edges transform tired plantings for the cost of mulch.
- Choose native plants suited to your rainfall; they need no irrigation after year one and replace themselves slowly.
- Divide perennials from your own backyard or a neighbor's instead of buying new.
