1. Pumpkin Wreath
Put down the fir garland and mistletoe and give the current season its proper due by decking your halls with fall’s reigning crop: the pumpkin.
A wicker wreath is a perfect foreground for displaying sugar pie pumpkins and other autumnal motifs, like colorful leaves, pine cones and acorns. Whether you DIY this ornament with a glue gun and faux foliage from your local craft store or source one from a home goods store, a pumpkin-embellished wreath on your front door is a beautiful prelude to your living room—a warmhearted welcome to those who enter.
2. Pumpkin Vase
Repurpose a small to medium-sized leftover pumpkin from your Halloween porch display and create a makeshift flower vase to prop on your window sill or to serve as a centerpiece for your coffee table!
Much like pumpkin carving goes, cut a hole at the top of your pumpkin that is just large enough to fit your hand, and disembowel the pumpkin. After that, just add flowers—if you’re opting for real plants, remember to add water! We recommend arranging a floral bouquet of yellow and red colors to punch up the fall theme.
3. Fabric Pumpkins
Add a dash of pumpkin flavoring to your furniture by picking up some plush gourds at your favorite home goods store. Depending on the size of your stuffed pumpkins, you can treat them as decorative pillows for your couch, set them on your entertainment center as quirky accents or use them as bookends for your shelf.
To incorporate fun patterns and personal touches, you can DIY this décor piece by sewing together some whimsical fabric, pillow stuffing and twine!
4. Scatter Some Pumpkins Around!
The possibilities are endless with this one—it’s as easy as collecting an assortment of smaller pumpkins and squash and strategically placing them atop your furniture.
One approach is to gather an eclectic set in a rustic-looking box or wicker basket to use as a centerpiece for your coffee table. You can also plant a row of small pumpkins along your fireplace mantel or prop a few by some stair ledges.
Tip: We suggest contouring the ribs of your pumpkins with broad, lazy strokes of dark green or brown paint to give your decorations some dimension.
