Fall Front Porch Decorating Ideas
Are you enjoying cooler weather? There's a definite chill in the air these
days here in Toronto which makes days sitting out on the porch a welcome
treat. I've decorated my porch for the season and am sharing it today along
with my blogger friends as part of the Seasonal Simplicity series hosted by
Krista at
The Happy Housie.
If you're in search of simple and easy fall front porch decorating ideas, come
have a look!
Cozy Fall Front Porch Decor
I don't go too crazy with my fall decor, but the porch is one area I enjoy
giving a seasonal update. A decorated fall porch can say a lot about you -
it can feel cozy and inviting, sparse and modern, or filled with spooky
accents and ready for Halloween.
I like my fall porch to look abundant but not too fussy. Here's a few
elements I always include in my fall decor.
Pillows and Throws
Pillows are a must-have for any sort of outdoor seating area. They not only
make it comfortable to sit outside, but they help to create a colour story
for your decor.
Speaking of classics, a
buffalo plaid blanket
is a perfect accessory for fall. This black and cream blanket coordinates
nicely with the black pillow and the black shutters. Repeating colours in your
decor will help make the overall look more cohesive and complete.
Natural Materials
Natural and organic materials like rattan and wicker feel right for summer,
but for fall, go for something with a bit more texture and colour. Straw,
grass, and wood can bring depth to your fall decor.
Here I've used a straw wreath accented with a simple satin ribbon. The wood
lanterns bring height (and yet another hit of black!) to the display.
I've had this vintage-looking crate for a while. The rustic colour and old
time font adds another fun element to this scene. Consider adding signage or
something graphical to bring interest and contrast with the organic accents.
Pumpkins and Gourds
Can you have a fall porch without pumpkins? I think not! I prefer to stay
away from standard orange pumpkins and gourds and use ones in shades of
cream, white, yellow, and dark green. These more muted colours are much
more my style and help to create a neutral fall display.
Fall Mums and Hydrangeas
When it comes to fall flowers, mums and hydrangeas are my favourites. Just
like my neutral pumpkins, I prefer neutral florals in shades of white.
I've placed white mums alongside the bench, and in the urns flanking our
front door. The hydrangeas are ones cut from our cottage garden. I only need
a few of their big floppy heads to make a statement!
