Farmhouse Fall Porch

It’s the farmhouse charm that delights on this porch! Local farms were used to source the pumpkins, which is often viewed as a huge plus since you’re usually spending less than at the grocery store and supporting a local business. Mix in some vibrant mums, and fill in the holes with autumn accessories. Easy as pie, and some stellar curb appeal.

When conjuring up images of a fall porch, pastel hues aren’t exactly what would come to mind. That said, it totally works! By picking a theme and staying with it, the light and airy color of the front door is mirrored in its wreath and whimsical pumpkins. A true delight!

Transforming a .bar cart into a min pumpkin patch is a sure-fire way to stand out from your neighbors. Add in some green oak leaves between the pumpkins to add some color for now and use the top rack to set a big bowl of candy on once Halloween rolls around. Your effortless hospitality is sure to not go unnoticed.

A few tips to consider when decorating your porch:

  • Create a cozy seating area: You may already have a porch bench or swing — make this the highlight of your decor. Add cozy pillows, blankets, pumpkins, flowers and other fun finds to add the finishing touch.
  • It’s a sign: Use a play on words, like ‘Happy Fall, ya’ll’ to jazz up an outdoor chalkboard for an easy way to showcase your personality.
  • Add color: Use a combination of colorful pumpkins like white, blue, pink and green to get out of a strictly-orange funk. I actually found mine at a local grocery store, and it’s an easy, inexpensive way to add some character.
  • Use what you have: Get creative with props and seasonal decor! Think beyond the traditional use for items the next time you’re strolling through a Target or Michael’s store.
