Draw the eye up to your door with a boost of curb appeal by lining your porch steps with a variety of pumpkins. Don’t forget to soften the look by tucking hay, leaves and other fall foliage into the nooks and crannies.
Don’t be afraid to accessorize your porch with an indoor eye towards ele- gance and texture. We added a graphic tribal-style runner to add an eye-catching pop of pattern, and then layered a festive family of pumpkins all along the porch steps for a look that’s inviting and rich.
Our other favorite way to decorate pumpkins involves two easy ingredients: paint and painter’s tape. Just mask off a pattern of your choice around your pumpkin, paint a few layers and then carefully peel off the tape to reveal your crisp design.
How’s this for a no-carve approach to jack o’ lanterns? Simply stretch patterned tights or dress socks from the bottom of a pumpkin over the top and snip to fit; then swirl the excess on top to mimic a stem. The lively patterns look like a fancy stencil job without all the work.
