Martha Stewart's $17 T.J. Maxx Pumpkins Are the Key to Unlocking a Chic Fall Porch
Think all autumn decor is tacky? The icon designed the indoor/outdoor piece to prove you wrong – it's so affordable and stylish
If you love fall fashion, but hate the usual fall decor, then you're in luck. Martha Stewart designed a perfectly subtle resin pumpkin for T.J. Maxx, ideal for adding a touch of seasonal charm to your porch while keeping the front of your home elegant.
I generally find fall outdoor decor to be tacky; inflatable ghosts and sparkly gravestones are, unsurprisingly, not my idea of chic as an interiors writer. My favorite autumnal accents are natural, like orange branches and pumpkins straight from the patch. However, I've had too many pumpkins go rotten before Halloween or get eaten up by squirrels as soon as I put them outside. That's why Martha's Stewart's realistic, yet toned-down, pumpkin design is my September pick. It will stay fresh until long after Thanksgiving.
Plus, it comes at a great price.
My vision with these pumpkins is to intersperse them with a range of stylish porch furniture and growing plants. They would look so adorable in the midst of a container garden, or styled next to a wicker rocker for a more farmhouse look. It would look gorgeous styled alone, or you could pair it with a few other styles and colors of outdoor pumpkins. Used indoors, it would be the perfect accent for an entryway sideboard or an autumn dining table with a chocolate brown tablecloth.
The natural look feels endlessly versatile.
