Can’t you tell we are obsessed with fall this year? A season filled with family gathers, an abundance of food, and all the pumpkins you can get your hands on. Pumpkins are great to decorate with, they are colorful, sleek, charming and fun; however, they also decay extremely quickly, which can be obnoxious and can cause you to have to change your décor frequently. To achieve a fall vibe without having to use real pumpkins, consider faux ones. Here’s how to use faux pumpkins to bring charm to your décor.
Faux and Real

Bring in a faux pumpkin and add seasonal arrangements that further enhance the room’s fall vibe. You want to make sure you are constantly changing the flowers in your pumpkin. Add hues of berry, red, purple, orange and even green for a grand approach.
Painted White
The beauty of using pumpkins is that they don’t always need to be orange. Sometimes they can come in a multitude of colors, allowing you to use them in unique ways. Consider painting them white. Painting your pumpkins, white will allow you to blend them anywhere. It’s an unexpected twist using a traditional fall item. Add intricate touches to your pumpkin such as feathers, and acorns to bring a modern twist right where you want it most.
