If you want to create a special halloween atmosphere in your house, then you need pumpkins - the more the better!

While everyone's used to regular carved pumpkins, it's not the only way you can use them.

Here are a few more ideas on how to integrate pumpkins in your decor.

Carved Pumpkins

Carving pumpkins is a classic Halloween tradition. To do this, choose a pumpkin, carefully cut off the top, and scoop out the seeds and pulp. 

Then, carve a spooky face or design on the pumpkin's surface using a knife. Place a lit candle inside to make it glow at night.

These carved pumpkins, known as jack-o'-lanterns, can be put on your doorstep or windowsills for a festive look.

Painted Pumpkins

If you're not into carving, you can paint pumpkins instead. Use acrylic paints to create fun or scary designs. 

You can paint them solid colors or get creative with patterns and characters. 

Painted pumpkins can be placed indoors or outdoors as a colorful decoration.

Pumpkin Centerpieces

Hollow out a pumpkin and use it as a unique vase for fresh or artificial flowers. 

This pumpkin vase can serve as a striking centerpiece for your dining table or mantel.

Pumpkin Garland

Create a Halloween-themed garland by stringing mini pumpkins together with twine. 

Hang it across your fireplace, doorway, or on a wall for a festive touch.

Pumpkin Candle Holders

Instead of carving out the entire pumpkin, you can cut out a small section at the top to hold a tealight or votive candle. 

This adds a warm and cozy atmosphere to your home during Halloween.

Table Settings

Use mini pumpkins as place card holders for your Halloween dinner table. Write guests' names on them with a marker for a personalized touch.
