Decorating your porch for Fall

Decorating your porch or entry for fall can create a cozy, inviting atmosphere that celebrates the season. Here are some simple tips to get you started:

1. Add Seasonal Colors

* Use rich autumnal colors like burnt orange, deep red, mustard yellow, and earthy browns. Incorporate these colors in cushions, throws, or wreaths.

2. Incorporate Pumpkins and Gourds

* Stack pumpkins of different sizes, shapes, and colors. Consider mixing real and artificial ones for longevity. Add a few gourds or decorative squash for variety. If you have a foyer or hallway table incorporating our velvet pumpkins with real stems can be a great addition.

3. Create a Cozy Seating Area

* If you have a porch swing or chairs, drape them with plaid blankets or throw pillows in fall colors. It creates a welcoming vibe and adds warmth. You can do the same if you have a bench or seating area in your foyer or entry.

4. Use Lanterns and Candles

* Place lanterns filled with candles or fairy lights around the porch. Battery-operated candles are a great, safe option. They add a soft, glowing ambiance for chilly evenings.

5. Hang a Fall Wreath

* A fall-themed wreath made of dried flowers, leaves, or pine cones is a great way to greet guests at the door. You can also make or buy one with mini pumpkins, twigs, or berries for extra flair.

6. Add Potted Mums

* Chrysanthemums (mums) are classic fall flowers that come in many colors. Place a few potted mums around your porch for a burst of color.

7. Decorate with Hay Bales and Corn Stalks

* Small hay bales or bundles of corn stalks add a rustic touch for an outside porch. They can be placed in corners or used as stands for pumpkins or planters.

8. Use a Fall-Themed Welcome Mat

* Swap out your regular doormat for one with a fun, seasonal message or design, like "Hello Fall" or one featuring leaves and pumpkins.

9. Incorporate Natural Elements

* Scatter some pine cones, acorns, or fallen leaves around planters or on tables to bring a natural touch to the decor.

10. Personalize with a Sign

* A wooden sign with a fall greeting like “Harvest Welcome” or “Happy Fall” adds a personal touch to your porch. You can hang it on the wall or lean it against a wall near the door.

These small touches can create a beautiful, festive atmosphere for your porch, foyer or hallway entrance for fall!
