This time of year most people think about decorating with pumpkins outdoors… You know, those big orange things? The ones you make into very cool Jack O’Lanterns? I have a thing for using fall pumpkins and gourds to decorate indoors as well, and it really is an inspiring look that brings out the nesting instinct. Something about the harvest just kinda takes me back to our roots… A simpler time where home and hearth was everything? And all the textures and colors of these veggies… I love the bumpy, little bit crazy ones. They seem more organic to me. Perfect elements of nature to pile in corners, on tables used as centerpieces. Yes, please! Decorating with pumpkins and gourds is an easy way to bring in the spirit of the season, and can last right through Thanksgiving. So here are some great ideas we found all over the blogosphere to help you become inspired to decorate your home with these beauties. (Take note: they aren’t all orange!)
Midwest Living‘ feels the same way I do about white pumpkins, but they added some berry garland to give it a little bit of that fall color punch… Pretty and can be done in about 5 minutes.
From ‘Savvy City Farmer‘, this is a more traditional way to use pumpkins… I like the idea of the “bed” of layered leaves, and the use of the unusual pumpkins as well.
From Karin at ‘The Daily Basics‘, this is a fresh take on using pumpkins (and other veggies, like kale and other greens) as a centerpiece. Love this!
Last, from Jennifer at “Dear Lillie” she can put together anything and make it look like a million bucks!
Enjoy!
