Celebrate Autumn With Fall's Best Porches and Patios
Check out these inviting fall-inspired porch and patio spaces.
1. Creating Cozy Seating Arrangements
When setting up porch furniture, arrange seating with conversation in mind. Pairs, trios and quartets invite gatherings whereas single pieces randomly arranged aren't as conducive to those memorable rocking chair chats.
2. Fall Can Be Trendy
Fall doesn't have to have the traditional, muted feel we are used to. A funky, young fall touch is added to this outdoor space by mixing strong pops of orange with contemporary furnishings. The bright lanterns are a playful way to add lighting, while the bright orange pillows are an easy way to incorporate a new color with each season. A fun screen completes the look, making this autumn patio feel like a destination.
3. Choose a Color Story
Forest-green paint, pops of cranberry red and cozy creature comforts turn a bland porch into a warm and welcoming spot just in time for fall
4. You Can't Go Wrong With This Palette
Celebrate autumn by pairing a jack o’lantern and a pot brimming with classic fall colors: orange and black.
5. Offer Up Blankets
Have plenty of throw blankets handy to take the chill off as the sun goes down.
6. Cozy House Numbers
Guide guests the warm and cozy way — with a decorative house number pillow. You can use stencils and outdoor spray paint to create this cute display in a matter of hours.
7. A Perfect Pair
Pumpkins and chrysanthemums are a natural pair when it comes to fall decor. A row of mums in a single, contrasting color alongside a row of pumpkins is a festive way to decorate the pathway to your porch or patio.
8. Double-Duty Pumpkins
Make your pumpkins multitask by using them as fall planters. Cool-season edibles add color and texture to your front porch decor.
9. DIY Welcome Mat
Sprucing up your front porch for fall? Get creative with this DIY door mat - it’s fun to make and your design options are endless!
10. Easy DIY Fall Wreath
Bring a modern harvest vibe to your front door with a dried corn wreath. Attach corn husks and felted ball stems to a grapevine wreath with colorful yarn.
11. Rustic Vignette
Wagons, wheelbarrow and antique crates make a great home for seasonal flowers. Place it at the front door to welcome your guests.
12. Flower Power
For extra pop, place a potted plant or two by the front entrance
13. Illuminate Your Yard
Warm outdoor lighting brightens your outdoor space during the chilly months.
14. Add Some Candles
Decorating with candles during the fall season is a hassle-free, budget-friendly way to show your spirit.
15. Have Fall at Your Doorstep
Create a welcoming entry for guests with a display of fall-themed items around your front door. Traditional favorites like pumpkins and bales of hay, layered with mums in rustic wooden baskets, create a color theme of orange and tan, with an emphasis on natural elements. Add visual interest by varying the pumpkin sizes and shapes.
16. Add Impact With Bold Seasonal Colors
Bold pops of color from seasonal flowers and fruits can create an impact, like in this charming patio area. Bright mums bring life to the fall setting, while a simple bowl of fresh cranberries adds that deep red color synonymous with autumn. When entertaining, incorporate these elements into the tablescape and menu, like making a signature drink, to create a cohesive and stunning fall get-together.
17. Porch Swing
If you have the space to hang one, a porch swing is a farmhouse porch must! Nothing says sit and stay a while quite like a porch swing cozied up with some pillows.
