Halloween may have just passed us by, but with Thanksgiving still on the calendar ahead, fall hasn’t gone anywhere yet. You may want to toss out your jack-o’-lanterns, but there’s no need to prematurely put away the rest of your beautiful faux fall foliage.

Since you’ll have family and other guests gathering around the kitchen come Thanksgiving, you want to fill your countertop with seasonal cheer as well. Here are a few decorating ideas for a perfectly picturesque countertop.

Autumn Leaf Garland

You can either buy or make your autumn leaf garland. Long strands of fake leaves in every color look great affixed around your countertop. You can keep the whole thing attached using fishing string or even Command hooks. For a truly warm feeling, weave some string lights into the garland.

Gourds, Gourds, and More Gourds

As we said before, the jack-o’-lanterns may be gone, but your pumpkins can take up residency on your countertop for at least the rest of the month. Since you use your countertop for food prep, don’t go too big with your pumpkin sizes. To add some visual appeal, mix in gourds of different shapes, sizes, and colors.

Tip: If you’re worried about real gourds and pumpkins rotting, go for the fake kind instead.

Seasonal Spices

Allspice, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, cloves: these are the scents of fall. Take a few mason jars or other decorative jars and fill each with the above spices. Then organize them on the counter. If you have jars of varying sizes, that will look even better.

The Smells of Home

Sure, the aromas of that baking pumpkin pie or slowly roasting turkey will have mouths watering. For those times you’re not cooking, though, a few scented candles will really invoke all the scent-sations of fall. Pick a few favorite aromas and light a candle whenever the mood strikes.

A Cornucopia

Thanksgiving is on the way, so you might as well decorate early. A real woven cornucopia in the center of your countertop is a quick and easy way to add instant appeal to your kitchen. Feel free to fill the cornucopia with fruits (real or fake) or small pumpkins and other gourds. You can even do a mix of both!
