Your coffee table is the perfect place to bring some fall decor into your living room.
And what better way to do that than with pumpkins?
They’re not just for your porch!
Pumpkins can instantly add fall vibes to any room, adding a cozy charm that feels both styslish and welcoming.
And they’re totally versatile, so you can go rustic or chic just by switching up the colors and adding texture to your display.
So if your coffee table is looking a little plain this fall, pumpkin decor is the easiest way to make it stunning!
Here’s how:
Real vs Fake Pumpkins
I love the look of real pumpkins because they have that authentic harvest vibe.
And they smell really good too!
But they don’t last long, especially indoors when the heat is on.
Fake pumpkins, on the other hand, can be reused year after year and come in every size, color, and texture you can imagine.
Some even look so real that you have to touch them to be sure!
I think you can get that real autumn charm with both, but fake definitely has staying power.
Orange Pumpkins or Colored Pumpkins
Orange pumpkins have a nostalgic, pumpkin-patch look that are great for classic fall decor.
But if you want a little something different on your coffee table, colored pumpkins add a fun twist!
White or cream pumpkins look elegant, while pastel ones give off a really calm vibe.
But you can also go ultra-modern with metallics or bold colors.
The best part? You can just grab any pumpkin (real or fake) and paint it any color you want!
It really comes down to your decor styles and the mood you want in your living room this season.
Mix Up the Sizes
A single pumpkin is enough to bring fall vibes to your coffee table, but mixing different sizes can really bring your decor up a notch.
Mini pumpkins are cute and charming, while bigger ones create a really cool focal point.
But you can also add some layers to your coffee table by using a bit of both!
So, you can place a few small ones on a tray with candles, then add one medium pumpkin to balance it out.
I love how the variety keeps your decor from looking flat.
Add Some Texture
I think pumpkins look amazing on their own, but when I see them paired with textures I’m like, “Yup, that’s what I want on my coffee table.”
You can put them on woven trays, tuck in some dried leaves, or scatter pinecones around for an earthy feel.
Or you can add the texture right on the pumpkin with velvet or knit pumpkins to create a soft and cozy feel.
Even glass pumpkins can mix things up!
It’s fun to combine textures and it makes your pumpkins look more like intentional decor than just plopped-down accents.
Beautiful Pumpkin Coffee Table Decor Ideas
Your coffee table is the perfect place to put a pumpkin or two (or a few) this fall!
Here are some ideas to add that amazing autumn vibe to your living room:
Pumpkin Vase with Dried Foliage
Take a pumpkin-shaped vase (or hollow out a pumpkin) and fill with pampas grass or dried mums.
This adds height and texture to your coffee table if you’re looking for a bold focal point in your living room.
Pumpkins and Pinecones in a Rustic Bowl
I love how super easy this one is!
Toss a mix of pinecones and mini pumpkins into a rustic wooden bowl.
It has a nice earthy and natural look without a ton of effort.
You can add a candle nearby if you want to add a cozy glow.
Metallic Pumpkins on a Metal Tray
For a sleek fall look, layer some metallic pumpkins on a shiny tray.
You can find these in stores, or paint your own with metallic paint if you like to DIY.
It’s a super modern look with a little touch of glamour!
Pumpkins with Eucalyptus Sprigs
For something a bit understated but still elegant, you can tuck some fresh or faux eucalyptus around some pumpkins on your coffee table.
The muted green pairs perfectly with colors like white or cream, or even with classic orange pumpkins.
It’s a quick and easy way to create a modern and soft arrangemnts in your living room.
Fabric Pumpkins in a Basket
Fill a woven basket with soft fabric pumpkins to create a farmhouse-inspired display.
Neutral tones look charming, but you can mix in some patterns like plaid for a playful look.
Want to make them yourself? Just wrap pumpkins in fabric and glue down the edges.
That way, you can customize them to match your decor.
Pastel Painted Pumpkins
If you’re style leans more toward neutral tones, some pastel pumpkins will fit in perfectly.
Paint them or cover them in fabric in pastel tones.
Not like pinks and blues, but super muted fall colors like sage green, pale peach, and soft mustard.
Group them together in bowls or trays on your coffee table.
Crocheted Pumpkins with Dried Leaves
If you know how to crochet, try making a few cozy yarn pumpkins to scatter on your coffee table!
Pair them with dried leaves for an organic, boho look.
The handmade texture gives off warm vibes and feels super cozy.
