🎃 Easy Fall Porch Decorating Ideas
Here’s how to create a cozy fall porch—like the one in the photo:
1. Start With a Neutral Base
A hay bale or straw bundle provides height and texture. Place it next to your door or porch column.
2. Add Pumpkins in Different Colors & Sizes
Mix traditional orange pumpkins with white, green, or heirloom pumpkins for a natural and stylish look.
3. Use Potted Mums for Color
Chrysanthemums (mums) are a fall staple. Yellow, deep red, and orange add warmth and brightness.
4. Anchor the Look With a Welcome Sign
Leaning a tall wooden WELCOME sign against your wall or pillar ties everything together and greets guests with rustic charm.
5. Optional Extras:
-
Lanterns with LED candles
-
Corn stalks or dried wheat bundles
-
Cozy plaid blankets draped over outdoor seating
