The evenings are getting shorter and the air is getting crisper, signifying
that fall has finally arrived! Autumn is a great time to get the pool noodles
off of the front porch and to prepare our homes for the upcoming
holidays. Nothing is more welcoming for guests that a charming porch
display filled with pumpkins, flowers and fun!
I’m sharing a few cozy porch décor ideas as inspiration for preparing
your own home for fall. Consider materials that are easy to procure in
your area. If you enjoy visiting the pumpkin patch, it’s a great spot to pick
up pumpkins of all varieties, cornstalks and other fun items. While you’re
there, grab a few cornstalks, too.
Can’t make it to the pumpkin patch? No worries! Grocery stores and
home improvement centers are great places to find pumpkins and
flowers. Mums, the quintessential autumn flower are a MUST!
Fill containers with fall flower and surround with pumpkins of all
sizes. Choose from trick or treat containers, baskets, lanterns or even
pumpkins themselves to create a cheerful, festive entry. Feel free to sub
plastic pumpkins or artificial flowers for a longer-lasting display.
Stacked pumpkins topiaries will stop everyone in their tracks. To
secure real pumpkins, you may need to drill a hole to insert a “peg” to
secure the next pumpkin. Plastic pumpkins are readily available at a
craft store and will last for several seasons. Place the topiary in an urn
for added drama.
How about a modern twist for the cornstalk that you picked up at
the pumpkin patch? Check out this tall, linear stack to accent your porch.
It’s a clean aesthetic that will last until after Thanksgiving.
It’s never wrong to keep it simple. You simply can’t go wrong
with a gorgeous fall wreath.

Enjoy this magical season filled with delight!
