MacKenzie-Childs fall and Halloween decor runs from the first cool week of September to Thanksgiving, which is why most of it is pumpkins. They come in the studio’s check and stripe patterns in Amber, Paprika, Chocolate, Mocha and Courtly Check, from minis to the Chocolate Check Jumbo Pumpkin, so they build into a cluster on a mantel or a table.

For a first group, the Petite Pumpkins sets of two in Amber, Paprika, Chocolate and Courtly Check are the easiest start. The Harvest Glow Pumpkin Cluster is the centerpiece that does the arranging for you.

For Halloween itself, the Glam ‘O’ Ween pieces bring the fun: the Witch on Moon, Frankie & Bride and the Pumpkin Trio Centerpiece. The Courtly Check Witch Hat on Books and Courtly Cat with Pumpkin Bucket fit a shelf. Our guide to a Halloween mantel that still works in November shows how to swap the Halloween pieces out and keep the pumpkins.

Choosing sizes and colorways

Building a cluster in different sizes sets out how the sizes relate to one another, with published dimensions for each. Choosing color combinations looks at which colorways work together and how long each one suits the season.
