How to Decorate with Pumpkins for Fall:

Whether you prefer orange pumpkins or my favorite – white pumpkins, here are a few ideas to inspire you!

White Pumpkin Decorating Inspiration:

If you’re someone who dislikes the color orange in your home, white pumpkins are for you. 

Obviously, their neutral color works with any home style and color scheme.  Every year, I use them in my seasonal vignettes.  For instance, here is one of my 3 ways to decorate a bar cart for fall.

Though this was one of my favorites, be sure to see the other ways I’ve decorated with white pumpkins!

Orange Pumpkin Decorating Ideas:

Even though I love white pumpkins, I always decorate with a few classic orange pumpkins as well. 

For the past few years, I’ve lined up orange baby boo pumpkins across the ledge above my front door.  Every morning, it’s nice to catch a glimpse of them as I walk down the stairs.  If you want to see how the mini pumpkins and the whole porch looks from the outside, check out my simple porch decor.

Let’s all appreciate those sometimes under-rated orange pumpkins!
