25 Outdoor Pumpkin Decorations To Try This Halloween
Halloween is one of the few holidays where decor is as essential outside as it is inside. So if you want to go all out this year, you’ll need a few outdoor pumpkin decorations. The best part? You don’t exactly need to be an artist or expert crafter to pull off these charming pumpkin designs. Curious to peep our favorite picks? Keep scrolling. We can almost guarantee that you’ll want to kickstart your Halloween decorating after seeing a few of these pumpkin decorations that live outside. Even if you don’t have a front porch, you can make these work. In fact, some of our favorite options are stoop friendly.
All of our picks are also really affordable, so you’ll never have to spend more than a few dollars on them. Perhaps the only exception is an eight-foot-tall arch made of nearly 40 foam pumpkins spray-painted in rainbow hues. (Yep, it’s as incredible as it sounds—and surprisingly simple to make.) Otherwise, go the easy route and stick a few googly eyes on a set of miniature pumpkins and call it a day. No matter your skill set when it comes to crafting, you’re bound to find a few outdoor pumpkin decorations that work for you and your space.
Our personal favorite? A decoration scheme that’s equal parts easy and sophisticated. It’s galvanized metal buckets filled with red and orange flowers beside a small collection of pumpkins. No matter your style, you’ll see a few pumpkin decorations you love, so don’t waste any time. Start your pumpkin patch before it’s too late!
Paint Your Pumpkins White

If you love carving pumpkins, this is an outdoor pumpkin decoration you’ll appreciate—especially if you have lots of time to spare ahead of Halloween. Once you’re done carving your collection, swath all of the pumpkins in a fresh (and ghostly) coat of white paint.
Get a Weird Pumpkin
Rocky Hedge Farm
Did you know that there are more than 150 different varieties of pumpkins? Honestly, neither did we. So this year, skip the traditional orange ones—or Captain Jack pumpkins, if we want to get technical—and go for a few different, lesser-known ones like a round Curcubita winter squash. Get a few or stick with one and place it beside a rustic bucket of fall-fresh petals.

Bye, bye orange?
If you want to steer away from the traditional oranges, yellows and browns of Halloween, you can always go monochromatic with a nice shade of white.
A rustic, washed away white during the Autumn season gives a timeless and effortless look.
You can find white pumpkins, squashes, bushel baskets and flowers to decorate your front lawn.
The white nicely compliments the trees, leaves and steps up to your front door.
Not much effort is needed to achieve this bold look.
Ghost busters
Throughout time, there has always been speculation about the existence of ghosts.
There have been iconic stories told, recorded videos and strange paranormal activities that all relate back to these spirits.
Which explains why they are associated with Halloween.
They seek to spook, haunt and slowly float around their guarded territory.
Add these scary creatures to your front yard by placing tall sticks in the ground and hang dirty drop cloths over them.
Then, cut out eyes or position the drape so it looks like the Grime Reaper are you are done!
What to choose?
As you can see, there are many different scary and mild ways you can get in the Halloween spirit and decorate your home.
Although it is fun to figure out and design a costume, do not forget to dress up your home for the holiday, too!
The more your home is decorated, the more people will be intrigued to stop by.
With these great ideas, there’s no way your home will go unnoticed.
