Decorating for fall, and Halloween, is a nice ritual to mark the transition of the season, but fall decor isn't always the chicest. If yours is a more modern, sophisticated, Livingetc-style of home, then a faux pumpkin might feel a little out-of-character. But if you still want to get into the spirit of the season, there are more and more design-inspired pumpkins around than ever. 

Turns out, several brands have smarter, sleeker, and sweeter versions of the quintessential pumpkin fall decor, allowing you to partake in the festivities while still keeping your indoors looking tasteful.

Here are 9 of the best we found for fall 2024.
