Whether you’re using real pumpkins or faux pumpkins, white pumpkins or classic orange pumpkin hues - or even miniature pumpkins - you can bring a sense of warmth, style, and welcoming charm to your space.

Get Yours Now!!When considering what kind of pumpkin to use in your fall decorating, there are pros and cons for real pumpkins and faux pumpkins.
Real pumpkins and organic winter squash offer texture, authenticity, and scent; they are perfect pumpkin choices for those who love the natural earthiness.
Faux pumpkins (especially those with a realistic pumpkin stem or faux stem, or even velvet pumpkins) add durability, as they won’t rot, attract pests, or require as much upkeep. At Bay Baby Produce, we love offering both: from organic winter squash and real edible pumpkins to custom-decorated and painted ornamentals that imitate a classic orange pumpkin or unique shapes in white pumpkins.
Colors, Sizes, and Style: Getting It Right
-
White pumpkins can bring a clean, bright look to your decor—especially when paired with greenery or a pop of color.
-
Classic orange pumpkin tones feel traditional and warm.
-
Mini pumpkins or miniature pumpkins are perfect for tabletops, dough bowl centerpieces, or scattered along a front porch.
-
For contrast, a velvet pumpkin or two—rich in texture—brings visual interest.
-
If you want something that really stands out, try painting your pumpkins: use acrylic paint or spray paint to customize patterns, colors, or effects. Or choose pre-painted, expertly decorated pumpkins from Bay Baby Produce.

Decor Ideas: Front Porch, Front Door & Outdoor Fall Decorations
Welcoming Your Guests: Front Door & Porch Displays
One of the easiest and most impactful places to decorate is your front door and front porch. Place a couple of pumpkins, maybe one large classic orange pumpkin and a few white pumpkins, on either side of the door. Or line mini pumpkins or miniature pumpkins along the steps or across a railing.
A tray or dough bowl filled with mixed pumpkins, small gourds, and perhaps some Indian corn gives that harvest-market feeling. Don’t forget adding a pumpkin candle tucked in among them to add warmth at dusk.
Outdoors: Garden Beds, Walkways & Yard Displays
Outdoor fall decorations are all about making the most of nature. Use real pumpkins in planters (they can handle a little chill), or mix in artificial gourds and faux pumpkins with weatherproof materials. A spray painted pumpkin can help coordinate with your home’s trim. A bouquet of orange pumpkins and white pumpkins, maybe even a velvet pumpkin, gives stunning contrast in a garden bed. Leave a little bit of space between pumpkins so each has its own presence.

Easy Way to Elevate Your Fall Decorating
If you’re looking for a quick, fuss-free update, here are our favorite simple touches:
-
Use a paint activity kit (we have Painted Pumpkin or Pumpkin Paint Activity Kits) to let you personalize with acrylic paint.
-
Swap out your regular welcome mat for one with warm tones, and place a couple of pumpkins in coordinating colors beside or on top of it.
-
Incorporate a pumpkin stem accent, maybe a faux stem or real stem, for extra rustic charm. You can grab your real pumpkin stems here!
-
When choosing the perfect pumpkin, pick one that’s firm, has minimal blemishes, and has a healthy-looking stem.
-
For repeating decor (like a series of pumpkins on a front porch), vary sizes (mini, medium, large) and finishes (matte, shiny, velvet) for visual interest.
