The fall season is one of the most important seasons when it comes to design. Everyone is waiting for leaves to change colors, the weather to begin cooling down, and fall décor to make its way out of storage and into the house. But fall décor shouldn’t be limited to the interior of a house – something that all too many of us fall victim to.

Decorating Your Porch for Fall

The porch is such an excellent place for seasonal redesign, and fall is the perfect season to add some spice to the front of your house. Here are a few design tips for sprucing of the front porch this upcoming fall season!

1)  One Pop of Color

The front porch is generally a place for neutral colors – brick, natural wood, wicker furniture, and mid-tone cushions. But adding a simple pop of color – red, yellow, purple, etc. – can be a great way to bring a fall “feel” into the mix. Simply add a couple of accent pillows in your favorite color and you’re done!

2)  White Pumpkins

White pumpkins are a very simple but effective fall decoration. Since you’re steering clear of the traditional orange pumpkin color, white pumpkins can be placed with nearly any color scheme or setup to bring a very clear “fall season” visual cue. They are generally small, so you can place them in front door wreaths, on doorsteps, or any other corner or small area that needs a little seasonal design boost.

3)  Warm Lighting

You can get creative here. Nothing can beat the creative addition of warm lighting concepts on a brisk fall evening. For some, it means spreading a few real or fake candles throughout the porch to be turned on at night. For others, finding unique string lights with incandescent or other warm light bulbs is the answer. Lighting is unique to each home depending on location, preference, and the size of the area to cover, so get creative!

Conclusion

Decorating for fall should never be limited to the interior of your home! There are so many unique ways you can add fall colors and décor to the outside of your house for an extra seasonal lift in design. Start looking for unique lighting and accent colors to bring your front porch to life this fall season!
