Create a festive fall look without the mess with these no-carve pumpkin ideas for fall decorating.
Illuminating Idea
Swap the candles for mini pumpkins. Prop colorful textural pumpkins atop candle sticks, candelabras and even chandeliers to elevate them in your display and create various heights for a tablescape, mantel or shelf.
Winning Display
Props to this vintage prop! An antique trophy becomes a pedestal to display a stack of pretty pumpkins. Tuck in a few seasonal greens and flowers to transform it into a sweet centerpiece for a fall table.
Terrific Tiers
How’s this for a pretty focal point for a table or countertop? Use a mix of trays and cake plates to make a tiered display pedestal for a grouping of pumpkins and fall gourds. It’s a great way to use what you have to add interest and a special look to your decorative vignettes.
All in a Name
Here’s a fun twist to a place card for a fresh harvest table—practice your calligraphy skills on a small pumpkin. It’s also a fun idea that would look great lined up on a mantel or in the mudroom to label each family member’s cubby.
Upcycled Seasonal Style
Repurpose a vintage find to create seasonal still life. This mini picnic basket is the perfect creative stand-in for a tray to cluster a mix of fall favorites: pumpkins, pears and garden flowers.
Group Gathering
There’s power in numbers when it comes to pumpkin displays. Stylist Michelle E. Black assembled a crew of pumpkins in various sizes and colors—and textures—to bring colorful attention to this armoire top. The mix is enough to be eye-catching and artistic without the need to take out the carving knife.
