Halloween decorations can be more than just spooky and fun – they can be stylish, elevated, and beautiful, much like any other seasonal display. This year, take inspiration from home and garden experts like Martha Stewart, who has transformed her home into a showcase for tasteful and timeless Halloween decor.

Martha Stewart's porch decor includes rows of pumpkins arranged on either side of stairs, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. She uses a variety of pumpkins in different sizes, colors, and shapes to create a visually intriguing display. One of her most notable creations is a three-tiered pumpkin stack, which has a mottled appearance and a stone-like surface, bringing a hint of nature to your home.

But carving pumpkins into Jack-o-Lanterns is out, according to Andrew White, Home and Garden expert at Harbour Lifestyle. Instead, he advises creating a more elevated jack-o'-lantern display by drilling holes (disco ball style), creating monograms, or painting pumpkins to match the doorscape for a touch of opulence.

For those who prefer a more minimalist approach, Caitlin Marie Design has pursued the idea of replacing traditional Halloween decorations with more elegant and classy options. Their designs include velvet pumpkins, metallic gold jack-o-lanterns, and minimalist spooky decor.

If you're looking for a long-lasting solution, consider the decorative pumpkins from Martha Stewart's QVC collection. These pumpkins have a polyresin construction that will last for years, making them an ideal alternative for those who don't have time to go to the patch. The set of three indoor/outdoor decorative pumpkins comes in three sizes for a unique design.

Reusable pumpkins are also a great option for those who don't want to deal with squirrels. Stylish faux pumpkins are a great alternative, offering a maintenance-free solution without compromising on style.

To create a visually pleasing, polished display, pumpkins should be placed with purpose. Intertwine them with floor lighting and level them on steps or banisters. For a touch of brightness, consider a luminary pumpkin from Martha Stewart, which projects tiny stars, adding a touch of magic to your porch, and can be used both indoors and outdoors.
