12 Velvet Pumpkin Decor Ideas

A few years ago, I jumped on the DIY velvet pumpkin train and love using them in my Fall decor every year.  It’s the only Fall decor that made the move to Japan because of its modern and beautiful aesthetic so I try to think of new ways to display them every year.  So here are my favorite ways to decorate with velvet pumpkins.

Display them on something unusual.

Last year, a few of them sat in a mirror, kind of weird right? But it made a great little display on top of books in Autumn hues and some beach decor.

Add interest to your built ins.

I used them in our Okinawan foyer.  The natural light and white finishes in the rental made the perfect backdrop for Fall/Halloween colors to really pop!

Use a cake plate to showcase them.

I created a West Elm inspired cake plate with dollar store supplies.  I love the moodiness it brings with Daphne, feathers, and worn music books.
