Ghosts, goblins, pumpkins, and apples…it’s that time of the year again. Truly, fall is in full swing! Why not go all out on the decorating and step up your outdoor fall decor ideas this year?
For inspiration, we looked around for some of the best-decorated homes! If you’re ready to welcome fall in your front porch, here are a few suggestions:
Consider both Halloween and Thanksgiving when planning your fall decor. This approach maximizes your decorative efforts and ensures a seamless transition between these two major holidays.
Incorporate elements like pumpkins, leaves, and warm colors that fit both occasions. For Halloween, add a touch of spookiness with items like cobwebs or ghostly figures that can be easily removed after October 31st.
Then, for Thanksgiving, focus more on elements that evoke warmth and gratitude, such as cornucopias or candles. By considering both Halloween and Thanksgiving, you can create a cohesive, festive atmosphere in your home throughout the fall season.
Pumpkins are not just great for eating and drinking (PSL, anyone?); they’re also a staple fall decor in American homes.
Whether you’re carving out pumpkins for Halloween or livening up your porch with beautiful fall shades, you can never go wrong with an array of pumpkins on your steps.
Go for white pumpkins if you’re after a minimalist and elegant look. Or go crazy with color! Do you know that pumpkins can be white, orange, yellow, red, green, and even blue?
For a more color-coordinated approach, no one’s stopping you from painting your pumpkins with an unusual palette like, yes, shades of pink!
If you need more outdoor fall decor ideas and are not a fan of spooky things, you can make your home elegant or sophisticated this fall using chrysanthemums. They can spruce up any front porch all year round. Match them with pumpkins, and you have a beautiful space ready for the season.
Pairing these flowers and pumpkins together is always a good idea! Chrysanthemums are easy to maintain, with a few steps to follow.
Wreaths are affordable and easy to make. Some dried leaves, foliage, and some recycled craft materials are all you need!
For your front door wreath, you can opt for a minimalist approach or go for matching wreaths and garlands, depending on available time and resources.
Now, if you really want to go all out with your fall decorating, consider painting your door!
Some homeowners might go all out and paint their front door bright orange because why not? Painting your front door is an easy day project, but check with your HOA to see if any permit is necessary.
You can choose a fall color for good measure or a shade that you really like to keep the whole year. Like this chestnut door that blends well with the surrounding pumpkins!
Whether you’re decorating a front porch or an expansive yard, these outdoor fall decor ideas can help you create an inviting atmosphere from Halloween to Thanksgiving. So embrace the season and start planning your fall decor today!
