If you had to name just one thing that instantly conveys the image of fall to you, we think we know what it would be.
Pumpkins, of course! Fall is here, along with pumpkin lattes, pumpkin-scent candles, pumpkin spice muffins, and certainly, pumpkins in your home decor.
Feel free to incorporate the iconic pumpkin all around your home–they’re available in so many sizes, colors and materials!
We love pumpkins mixed with fall florals, in both traditional and non-traditional color combinations. A fall wreath on the door to greet family and friends is a must.
For your tabletop, try a faux pumpkin container for a fall arrangement.
Or mix a few pumpkin picks into your floral arrangements.
It’s so easy to create a centerpiece for your dining table featuring pumpkins. Layer in textiles, candles, pottery, greenery, florals–whatever inspires you–and vary the height of your elements.
Don’t forget your foyer table, console, or buffet. Bring fall in with a lovely grouping of decorative accessories that includes pumpkins. Flank with lamps and use risers or cake stands to elevate some of your elements.
Which other furniture pieces are perfect for a pumpkin display? Your glass front cabinets and open shelving! Intersperse pumpkins with decorative objects of different sizes, shapes and textures: framed sentiments, succulents, canisters, baskets, art, and pottery.
So here’s the burning question: do you love fall but you’re not into orange? In that case, explore some non-traditional color options, with new colors of pumpkins to set your theme. We love green and teal and white pumpkins–but then there’s pink, peach, gray, blue, and merlot, too…!
Not to mention the wide range of materials you’ll find as you shop for your pumpkins: glass and fabric and ceramic and wood and metal pumpkin options abound! How to choose? Easy: what do you like? And what best fits the style and ambience of your home? Whether you lean modern, rustic or glam, you’ll surely find pumpkins to suit your aesthetic.
Some closing thoughts on integrating the pumpkin motif throughout your home. Have you tried mini pumpkins perched on candlesticks?
Pumpkins at your place settings around the table?
For your guests, pumpkin serveware and napkins, naturally.
And of course, pumpkin-themed soft goods like table runners, towels, throws and pillows.
