We tend to spend a lot of time in the kitchen this time of year. Between baking seasonal treats, prepping Thanksgiving dinner, and every comfort meal in between, fall is a popular time to get cozy around food with loved ones.
If you love fall as much as we do, you'll want to be sure your kitchen is fully decorated and ready for the entertaining season. Bring out the pumpkin décor, fall-themed cookware, and holiday appliances—it's time to go all out and embrace the season. Here are some pieces of pumpkin-themed fall kitchen décor we think are worth adding to your cart to make the most out of autumn.

1. Le Creuset's pumpkin cocotte
Le Creuset's Pumpkin Cocotte is here just in time for cozy dinner parties.
Who can resist a piece of cookware that doubles as a seasonal centerpiece and high end dutch oven? Certainly not us. Iconic French cookware brand Le Creuset launched its first pumpkin cocotte this year, following the lead of brands like Staub in years past.
This enameled cast iron pot is made with the same high quality materials as the brand's traditional dutch ovens, so you can rely on its trademark heat distribution, stick-resistant interior, and long-term durability.
It's great for those cold-weather soups, pot roasts, homemade bread loaves, and pumpkin-flavored desserts. Plus, it comes in three colors to best match your kitchen's aesthetic: Sea salt, meringue, and persimmon.
2. Dash's pumpkin-shaped waffle maker
This little appliance can turn your breakfast into a photo-ready experience.
Picture this: It's a crisp Saturday morning in the fall, a Halloween movie marathon just started, and you're sipping pumpkin spice coffee with homemade pumpkin waffles. Does it get any better than that?
Dash's pumpkin-shaped mini waffle maker takes you one step closer to that reality. This highly rated appliance is perfect for making small batches of waffles, and it's small enough to stash away after regular use.
Plus, it can do more than just waffles: Try it with homemade hash browns, cookies or, even, chaffles (a low-carb option made with cheese and eggs) to make every fall meal feel a little more festive.
3. This simple pumpkin spoon rest
Dress up your utensil corner with this spoon rest.
If your kitchen aesthetic leans toward minimalist, muted colors, this is a great way to add some subtle festivity.
This white, pumpkin-shaped spoon rest is made of glazed stoneware and can be tossed in the dishwasher after every use. It's the perfect size for typical cooking utensils to rest on during use, or just sit by your cooktop for added decoration.
4. Pumpkin napkin rings
Dinner always feels extra special with designated napkin rings.
For those special occasion dinners that seem more common this time of year—Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving, and the like—you'll want your dining room table dressed to impress.
These little pumpkin-shaped napkin rings are an easy way to upgrade your table décor. They make it easy to serve dinner with fancy cloth napkins—like these Harvest Foliage napkins—without having to take up napkin origami.
5. Le Creuset's pumpkin pie dish
Take your pie game to the next level with this high quality (and adorable) pie dish.
A dessert rendition of the pumpkin cocotte, this dish is the dream vessel for all your seasonal pies during the fall months. It features the same durable stoneware that Le Creuset is known for, and it retains heat evenly for crispy crusts and perfectly browned bottoms.
It comes in the same three colors as the cocotte, so you can coordinate if you decide to take the leap with both.
6. A hefty pumpkin soup tureen
This tureen is big enough to serve soup to the whole fam.
Serving homemade pumpkin bisque (or store-bought soup—we won’t judge!) just tastes better when you're ladling it out of a giant pumpkin.
This hundred-ounce vessel, complete with a lid and matching ladle, is great for serving soup, stews, pasta and other comfort food staples.
Plus, it's microwave and dishwasher safe, making that post-Thanksgiving cleanup a little easier.
7. Adorable pumpkin soup bowls
Does it get any cuter than tiny pumpkin serving bowls?
But where will you pour the soup after ladling it from your pumpkin tureen? We're glad you asked.
These charming porcelain serving bowls are shaped like pumpkins, with removable lids and accompanying spoons that can make the most mundane morning yogurt or evening soup feel memorable.
The bowls also include handles, ideal for sipping that last drop of soup or your cinnamon tea. They're also conveniently microwave and dishwasher safe.
8. A pumpkin-shaped board for charcuterie
Your fall grazing spread is only as good as the board it's served on.
What's a holiday dinner without a cheese board? (Not anything we want to be invited to.)
This pumpkin serving board was handcrafted in Hungary with pieces of reclaimed wood. It has a rustic yet modern look, with a white surface and strips of oak that help prevent warping. It's great for serving cheese and charcuterie, desserts or other snacks.
9. A harvest-themed loaf pan
This pan will make your loaves (almost) too pretty to eat.
The only thing better than a fresh, homemade loaf of pumpkin bread is a homemade loaf of pumpkin bread with a seasonal design.
This 6-cup pan will transform your everyday pumpkin loaf, pound cake or banana bread into an autumnal masterpiece. It features a nonstick coating and cast aluminum build that provides evenly baked results, easy releasing, and a headache-free cleanup.
10. A pumpkin-shaped beverage dispenser
Channel Cinderella's carriage with this chic-looking glass dispenser.
Fall-themed sangria, anyone? If you're hosting a Halloween party—or any other fall gathering this year—you'll need a vessel to keep the drinks flowing. Because we can do better than single-use cans of beer and seltzer!
This glass dispenser has a charming pumpkin design that's inviting and convenient for guests. It's large enough to fit two gallons worth of cocktails (or apple cider), and it's dishwasher safe for easy post-party cleanup.
