Of course, you can't beat pumpkin picking with friends and family, and getting creative with fun pumpkin carving ideas and pumpkin painting ideas, but that doesn't mean you should shy away from styling your space with plenty of contemporary faux pumpkins.
Decorating with pumpkins can be all the more fun and dynamic with a beautiful mix of styles, materials and colors. From porcelain pumpkin ornaments to paper pumpkin sets, shop West Elm's prettiest picks below.

Get a head start on your trick-or-treaters when you display this cute little pumpkin on your mantel. Crafted from felt for touchable texture, this is kid-friendly Halloween decor.
Pleats add depth and dimension to these paper pumpkins, which are easy to assemble and quick to store away. Shop the look in deep black, bold red, or gleaming gold.
Decorations and ornaments
From skeleton decorations that can be used for decorating a Halloween mantel, to fun garlands and decorative bowls, a few new stylish, Halloween ornaments can make all the difference in sprucing up your space for spooky season.
Here's how to decorate tastefully for Halloween: with subtle seasonal accents. You could repurpose the Spooky Glass Orb as a paper weight or centerpiece long after the end of spooky season.
Perfect for placing on a mantel, dining table or pretty much anywhere in the home, these skull objects can spruce up your surfaces for spooky season.
Available in amber, smoke, or white, these skull candles are designed to be dotted around the home. Each piece is crafted from soda lime glass for a smoky glow.
Candles
Candles really are some of the most versatile decorations to use in the home. They can not only make your space feel more warm and cozy, they can help to beautifully scent your home and they can act as stylish decorations – what's not to love?
During fall and winter, I think the more candles you have in your home, the better. An easy way to update your home for Halloween, our picks from West Elm's Halloween collection below can add a subtle, seasonal touch to your surfaces.
This scented candle has a warm, woody base of teakwood and white musk, layered with fragrant jasmine and tobacco leaves. It's topped with juniper berries for a zingy finish.
These neat and narrow tapers should easily fit inside standard candle holders to add a touch of old-world charm. Available in a wide array of colors, I think Graphite and Stone best suit the season.
This LED candle incorporates flame-effect technology that looks just like the real thing, even down to the drips of wax running down the sides.
Tableware
If you're planning on hosting your friends and family throughout fall season and for Halloween, then creating a stand-out Halloween table is an absolute must, as it will make the experience feel even more special and seasonal.
Make sure your table is dressed to impress this Halloween with unique glassware, plus dinner plates and table runners. Each of these pieces could be used for Halloween kitchen decor, too.
These moody designs are just what your Halloween dinner table is missing. Shop a set of 4 for daily meals or upgrade to 8 for dinner parties.
If you're not into the whole skull-and-pumpkins thing, but you're still keen to get into the spirit of the season, then you might like this Celestial Runner, illustrated with suns and moons.
This heirloom-quality glassware is designed by Stephanie Summerson Hall, taking inspiration from her grandmother's antique glass collection. Fill with seasonal cocktails for the full effect.
These illustrated napkins are pretty, as well as practical: each sheet is machine-washable for quick and convenient clean-up after your Halloween dinner party.
I love mix-and-match glassware sets: that way, when you set the table, you can give each guest the glass that best reflects their personality.
For an elevated take on a glass, try these couture cans with their screen-printed snake design, ideal for Halloween hosting.
Pillows
If you're looking for more subtle Halloween decor ideas, then refreshing the pillows in your living room and bedroom with a few new seasonal designs is a great option to consider – and they will only help to make your home feel more warm and comforting during the colder winter months.
This pillow cover is hand-embroidered with a quirky woodland scene of West Elm's 'Scary Squad', guaranteed to raise some spirits.
This intricate tapestry rewards a closer look. See how many pumpkins you can spot along the windowsills and choose your favorite costume (mine is the dog dressed as a bee).
This elegant Moon Phases Pillow can be used all year round, but is a perfect, elegant option for a more understated Halloween look.
Porch decor
Perfect for Halloween door decor ideas and Halloween porch ideas, a Halloween doormat can create a fun, warm welcome into your home for the season. Deck your door with a seasonal wreath and finish with a hanging garland to greet your trick-or-treaters.
Take the snake theme into your outdoor space with this slithering Serpent Doormat. It's the sort of subtly seasonal accent that could work year-round, if you wanted it to.
Talk about tasteful: this autumnal wreath is made from freshly cut seasonal plants and artfully arranged to order. If I were you, I'd buy two: one for Halloween, and one for Thanksgiving a few weeks later.
An easy way to decorate your home for Halloween is with a fun garland. Ideal for hanging in an entryway, over front porch or from a mantel, I love this simple yet joyful design.
