October 14, 2024
With autumn comes cooler weather and the perfect excuse to embrace all things cozy with budget-friendly fall décor. A few thoughtful touches can instantly elevate your curb appeal with inviting fall décor. Below, you’ll find a range of modern, rustic, and traditional porch designs that are easy to recreate this season.
Whether you prefer a minimalist or maximalist approach, these festive porch ideas will greet your guests in style. Hay bales, and pumpkins, paired with bold color schemes and creative lighting. You can keep it classic and charming with a few little tricks.
No matter the size of your porch, these ideas will help you transform your entryway into a stunning focal point this fall. All it takes is a little creativity and a few seasonal accents to showcase the vibrant colors of autumn.
Must Haves:
Start out with some boxy hay bales. Make sure to layer them in places where your eye can easily bounce around. You can find these at Hobby Lobby or at you local pumpkin patches. This will help layer and add some dimension to your porches. It's also a great way to stage your pumpkins and fall flowers and to give your lighting a boost.
Set the Mood:
You gotta use these LED powered candles and candle holders to set the mood. You can find them here at your local Michael's and Hobby Lobby. They are perfect for windy days and take the worry away from having to keep an eye on the candles. Plus they create a dreamy, calm and cozy atmosphere.
Sprinkle in Some Color:
Mums and pumpkins are the perfect way to really add some fall love to your porches. Mums come in literally every color. It's a personal preference. Pick your favorites... remember to make sure you keep within colors that compliment each other like purples, yellows and whites.
We visited our local Carmichael's Pumpkin Patch out in Bixby, OK. to cherry pick the perfect flowers and pumpkins. Not only is it a fun-filled visit sure to capture some sweet new traditions, but you can grab a local hamburger, some fresh homemade fudge and take your favorite people to explore the area. You can even squeeze in some family pictures and a camel ride! Check it out for yourself!
Doors Need Love Too:
Give your door a warm, inviting touch this season with the perfect fall wreath. We found this gorgeous one at Michael’s and fell in love with its rich autumn colors. With so many high-quality options to choose from, you're sure to find a wreath that captures the beauty of fall and welcomes guests in style. Find your style here!
Soften it Up:
Perfect way to add a softer touch to any patio is to layer those chairs with pillows. Choose from a wide range of cute seasonal pillows here! Different shapes and sizes is a must!! Make sure you grab some with some cute Fall patters and those beautiful bold reds and oranges to really make your patio POP! Plaids are a great addition and even sweater like materials work well with mixing and matching these textures and colors.
For Halloween night, consider adding a spooky touch with cobwebs, witch hats, and fun black pendant lights or add your favorite fun spooky little friend to greet your trick-or-treaters. Now's the fun part. Step back, admire all your hard work and soak up the season!
