Creative Flower Ideas for Your Home Using Pumpkins

As the weather gets chillier and the leaves begin to change colors, pumpkins are abundant this time of year. Instead of just carving pumpkins for Halloween, did you know you can decorate your home with pumpkins as flowers? Here are some creative ideas to add pumpkins as fall flowers throughout your home.

Pumpkins come in many sizes and shapes so you have lots of options to get creative with decorating. The bright orange color also adds a nice pop of warmth to spaces as the temperatures drop. You will be able to enjoy these pumpkin flower displays well into November before they start to rot.

Pumpkin Bouquet

Cut the top off a pumpkin and hollow it out to use as a vase. You can then arrange stems from other smaller gourds, vegetables, or greenery inside to mimic a bouquet. Place the pumpkin bouquet on your dining table, bookshelf, or mantel for a fun pumpkin flower centerpiece. You could even add a few fall-colored leaves tucked among the flowers for added visual interest.

Pumpkin Garland

String mini pumpkins, gourds, or other fall items from a local florist in Memphis TN onto string or twine and drape it across your fireplace, along the stair railing, or above cabinetry. Be sure to poke a hole in the top of each item before threading on the string,. You can even add real flowers to it, it is easily available for flower delivery in Memphis TN. This garland adds charm and whimsy to any room in a rustic, harvest style.

Candle Centerpiece

If you have white pumpkins in varying sizes, arrange them from largest to smallest on a serving platter or cake stand to resemble a tiered candelabra. Poke holes in the top of each pumpkin and insert tea lights, miniature pumpkins with lights, or battery-operated flickering flameless candles. The glow from the candles makes this a lovely white pumpkin flower arrangement for your dining table or buffet during a fall dinner party.

DIY Pumpkins Around the House

Get even more creative by transforming individual pumpkins into decorative accents for different areas of your home. Here are a few unique ideas for the pumpkin flower arrangements:

Bathroom Pumpkin

Carve a simple design like leaves or initials on a small pumpkin and set it on a glass terrarium filled with sand. The pumpkin will serve as a rustic hair and bath caddy or decoration on the bathroom counter.

Kitchen Pumpkin

Draw a smiling face on a medium-sized pumpkin and sit it on the windowsill above your kitchen sink. You may want to periodically wipe it down so it doesn't get too messy from moisture. But it will add autumn cheer as you do dishes and look out at the changing trees.

Living Room Pumpkin

Transform your largest pumpkin into an ottoman. Cut off the top and hollow it out. Place an accent pillow inside for an eye-catching coffee table or floor accent. Leave it plain or decorate it with markers, glitter, or patterned paper for a more vibrant pumpkin pop of color near your sofa.
