A warm welcome with pumpkins, lanterns, and a little restraint. Start with what you already have, choose one focal point, and give yourself permission to keep it simple.
Clear the canvas
Start by sweeping the steps and moving everyday clutter. Keep your door swing and the full walking path free.
Make one generous cluster
Place the largest pumpkin at the back and two smaller ones beside it. Reuse a planter for height rather than buying a display stand.
Repeat the warm glow
Choose flameless lanterns with the same light temperature. Check weather ratings and bring indoor-only pieces inside before rain.
Before the first trick-or-treater
Check the display after dark. Secure loose pieces, keep the door and walkway clear, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for lights and props. Plan to bring delicate items inside if the weather changes.
Save the idea for later.
The porch everyone pauses at.
A warm welcome with pumpkins, lanterns, and a little restraint.
