FESTIVE FALL PORCH DECOR IDEAS
It’s easy to give your front porch or walkway a fresh and festive look for fall with seasonal decorations. Start with a basic color scheme that will work throughout the entire season. Then you can change or add the details to reflect different themes or holidays.
Traditional: Choose orange, black, and yellow as your base colors. Place containers of white or yellow mums on your porch and mix with pumpkins and gourds. When Halloween gets closer, add some carved pumpkins, and some bats, skeletons, or spiderwebs to create a spooky mood when trick or treaters arrive.
Modern Farmhouse: Pair creamy whites and pale yellows with a touch of orange. Arrange baskets of white mums along your front steps and mix with white painted pumpkins or gourds. Accent with a hand painted sign or two. Place a rustic wreath with pale flowers on the front door to complete the look.
Victorian: Fill classic black urns with purple mums, mix in some plants with ornamental kale and cabbage in shades of green and dark purple. Drape black and gray garland around the doorframe or along porch railings.
