Style Tips to Elevate Your Porch

1. Start with a Clean Slate

Remove debris, sweep the porch, and dust off surfaces. A tidy base ensures your decor stands out. Designers advise avoiding worn or dusty accents, as they detract from a polished look.

2. Arrange with Purpose

Group pumpkins thoughtfully—mix sizes, odd numbers (3, 5), and varied textures—this creates visual balance and depth. Designers warn against overstuffing the space; a few curated clusters make a stronger impression than clutter.

3. Layer in Add-Ons for Texture and Interest

• Corn husks add rustic vertical texture.

• Hay bales provide elevation and a cozy foundation.

• Mums bring a vital pop of color and seasonal freshness.

• Mini pumpkins add playful accents that fill gaps and soften edges.

• Grand Prize Pumpkin can anchor your design as a focal statement.

4. Play with Color and Tone

• For a natural, timeless feel, the Muted Pumpkin Porch’s blend of soft creams and greens offers understated elegance.

• Want bold and vibrant? Stick with the Parcel or Mini kits, and add complementary textures and colors to avoid a flat monochrome display.

5. Light Up Your Fall Evenings

Add lanterns and string lights for cozy ambiance as daylight fades. Designers recommend layering soft LED or micro lights among pumpkins and foliage for warmth and glow.

6. Anchor with Planters, Rugs & Seasonal Wreaths

While CPD focuses on pumpkins, layering in autumnal textiles—like an outdoor rug, pillows, or a wreath—can elevate the overall design. Think richly textured planters, or occasional wicker pumpkins, arranged in odd numbers for visual harmony.
