25 Best White Pumpkin Décor Ideas to Spruce Up Your Home This Fall
They'll showcase your creativity!
Ask any autumn lover, and they'll tell you that there are few things quite as fun as setting up your home to welcome the new season. Think: hay bales on the front porch, sunflowers on the dining room table, and a rustic wreath on the front door. But as you wade through all of the fall décor ideas and fall door decorations out there, it's hard not to feel a little "been there, done that." That's where these white pumpkin décor ideas come in!
Equal parts classic and fresh, these fabulous pumpkin decorating ideas will help you deck out your home in style—and provide tons of opportunities to showcase your own creativity. If you're anything like Ree Drummond, for instance, you'll love how easy it is to transform the blank canvas of a white pumpkin into a colorful floral scene using paint or stencils. And for the purists out there, it is possible to maintain the "harvest" theme of years past by pairing your pumpkin crafts with ranch-ready accents, like distressed wooden crates.
What's more, many of the outdoor fall decorations made with white pumpkins double as fabulous outdoor Halloween decorations, making it possible to kill two birds with one... er, gourd. Heck, you can put them out as soon as the weather changes and leave them all the way through Thanksgiving. So what are you waiting for? Grab that craft paint and get decorating! There are so many white pumpkin decorating ideas to try.
Colorful Floral Pumpkins
It's easy to transform a white pumpkin into art when you treat it like a blank canvas. Paint flowers freehand, then place a few of your masterpieces next to each other for a final result that'll dazzle your houseguests.
Pumpkin Dog
Does this sweet pooch really need an explanation? He's simply got to be part of your fall décor if you're a dog lover. Use pieces of faux sherpa fur for the ears and nose and floral fabric for the rest of the pup. Black cotton cord or black yarn creates the mouth shape.
Floral Monogram Pumpkin
You'll only need four things for these gorgeous monogrammed gourds: some painter's tape, flower stencils, a foam pouncer, and craft paint. Start by drawing thick block letters on each pumpkin, then outline them with painter's tape. Next, tape the stencils inside the letters and use the pouncer to dab the paint onto the pumpkin to fill in the stencil. Let dry, then remove the tape to unveil your creation.
Botanical Pumpkin
Make your guests do a double-take by painting orange on a white pumpkin! Pick out a few leaf and flower stencils, then tape them to your pumpkin, and add craft paint.
Pumpkin Cow
Moo-ve over, plain pumpkins! Arrange pieces of floral fabric on a white or neutral pumpkin to create this cow's ears, nose, and eyes, then stick them to pieces of burlap and hot glue them on. Use buttons to dress up the nose and black cotton cord to form the eyes.

Prepare to impress your Thanksgiving guests: Housed together within a wooden tray, white pumpkins quickly transform into a stunning fall centerpiece.
