There’s nothing wrong with orange pumpkins, but today I want to highlight the appeal of black and white pumpkin decor for Halloween. Why? Simply because black and white is so classy! Even pumpkins benefit. Here are some black and white pumpkin decor ideas to inspire your Halloween decor.
Black And White Pumpkin Decor Ideas
Remember this gorgeous Halloween table decor highlighted in a recent post? It totally helped inspire this look at black and white pumpkin decor! Because you don’t have to decorate your white pumpkins if you don’t want to. Just use them as the white in a black and white theme. There’s a lot of black Halloween-themed elements to use with your white pumpkins. I love the black goblets and lanterns in this table decor.
Paint the stem of a white pumpkin with a glossy black acrylic craft paint, and then set your mantel off with the addition of black bats, twigs and candlesticks. This candlestick serves as the pedestal for a black painted pumpkin. Note that the bats are suspended from the ceiling with fishing line. This is a simple but elegant way to put black and white pumpkin decor to work in your home.
Your black and white pumpkin decor isn’t limited to pumpkins–try gourds too! It’s easy to paint any pumpkin or gourd white with acrylic craft paint. This one is also painted gold on the stem for accent. Attach plastic spiders {or even bats} and this is some of the easiest pumpkin decor ever!
If you look around at your local grocer’s or pumpkin patch, you can find Ghost pumpkin varieties in different shapes and sizes. For another easy decoration method, just grab a black permanent marker or paint pen. Draw a face on white pumpkins and then deck your mantel with them all month long.
Finally, know that your black and white pumpkin decor can also be motifs and faux pumpkins and be just as cute! I love the black and white pumpkin on this throw pillow. The small white fabric pumpkin is also adorable.
