Treat them with care, and you\u2019ll be surprised just how long they can last in your home as an effective autumn display!<\/p>\n<h3>Painted pumpkin display<\/h3>\n<p>You can turn a humble pumpkin into a stylish centrepiece with just a little bit of paint and some creativity. Whether you prefer more rustic autumn decorations like the lovely hand-lettered pumpkins from <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.lilyandval.com\/at-home\/5-creative-ideas-painting-elegant-pumpkins.html\">Lily &amp; Val<\/a> or something more glamorous, like these glitter pumpkin DIY ideas from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.countryliving.com\/diy-crafts\/g4583\/glitter-pumpkins\/\">Country Living<\/a>, there are plenty of autumn display ideas out there using pumpkins \u2013 find the one that\u2019s right for your home\u2019s style.<\/p>\n<h3>Natural pumpkin decorations<\/h3>\n<p>If you prefer your autumn home decor a bit more understated, or if orange just isn\u2019t really your thing, that\u2019s fine \u2013 for a more naturalistic feel, head to a pumpkin patch near you and hunt out some more pumpkin colours. Heirloom pumpkins come in a wide range of shades, from bright white to dark green, with plenty of soft grey and green tones in between.

If you plan carefully, you might not even need to buy any more for Halloween!<\/p>\n<p>Pumpkins can last for 8 to 12 weeks, as long as you\u2019re careful when handling them and avoid any bumps and bruises. Make sure they\u2019re not on display anywhere damp or cold \u2013 you don\u2019t want to risk your pretty display rotting. Once carved, a pumpkin is likely to be good for 5 or so days, so make sure you time your carving session right.<\/p>\n<p>When the time comes, make sure you check out our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thortful.com\/blog\/how-to-carve-a-pumpkin-like-a-pro\/\">carving a pumpkin like a pro<\/a> so you can create an incredible Halloween display!<\/p>\n<h2>Cosy autumn accessories<\/h2>\n<p>Okay, if you love summer sunshine then autumn might sometimes feel like kind of a bummer, as the weather gets colder and the nights start to draw in.
