Description
This pumpkin door stop brings a warm splash of orange to the floor beside any door you like to keep open. It is a rounded, ribbed pumpkin with full, softly swelling segments that meet at the top beneath a curled, twisted stem in dark brown streaked with gold. Each segment carries a chunky plaited pattern running in neat rows from top to bottom, which gives the whole piece a cosy, homespun look. It is a compact size, standing 12.1cm tall, 15.9cm across and 13.3cm deep, so it sits neatly by a door without taking over the floor.
We like it in a hallway, at the foot of a living room door or beside the kitchen door, where a bright pumpkin feels at home as the evenings draw in and the leaves begin to turn. Because it is a door stop first, it earns its place every day propping open an interior door, then doubles as a seasonal decoration on a windowsill, a shelf or the end of a mantelpiece when the door can close. Its warm orange sits happily with natural wood, cream and woven textures, and with the deep greens and browns so many of us bring out in the cooler months.
The segments are plump and evenly rounded, and the stem rises from the centre just as a real pumpkin's would, so it reads clearly as a pumpkin from every side of the room. It rests on its rounded base, and the plaited pattern gives it a gentle matt look. As general good practice, give it a light dust with a soft dry cloth now and then to keep the pattern and stem looking fresh. For a cheerful seasonal welcome, set it by the front door with a few pinecones and a lantern, or wrap it as a thoughtful little present for anyone who loves decorating for the turn of the season.
