If you can remember as far back as last Halloween, you might recall that I was professed my love for dramatic, grown up Halloween décor. Well, 365 days later I am singing quite a different tune. This Halloween I’m finding myself shying away from ornate and glamorous adornments in lieu of simplistic and streamlined design, particularly when it comes to pumpkins.
The shift could be coming from a place of not having time to go all out this Halloween, but I think more likely than not it is aligned with my continued desire to simplify, simplify, simplify. That is why I am loving all of these gorgeous ideas for modern pumpkin design. They all infuse a cheery dose of Halloween spirit into the home without requiring much effort or being too over the top.

This unique and modern look was achieved with melted crayons and a hair dryer. How creative is that?

You all know how much I love gold foil, so it should come as no surprise that I included a simple gold leaf option.

Similar to the melted crayon pumpkins above, these pumpkins dripped in paint have a feel of casual glamour to them.

If you’re yearning for a more traditional look, these ombre spider web pumpkins are right up your alley.
How are all of you preparing and decorating for Halloween? Are you becoming completely immersed in the holiday spirit or struggling like I am to get prepared?
