Decorating Your Porch for Fall – with Doormats:

This fall, layer your doormats or just use one…

As you can see, when I decorated my porch for fall one year, I used neutral doormats.  Since I like to stretch my items from season to season, I didn’t buy a “fall specific” door mat.  You can still find similar ones to mine in some Target stores and but it sells out a lot online.  Here’s another that looks very close to mine.

Although, I think this adorable door mat is an even cuter version of the older one I have on my front porch!…

But if you love blue and white for fall, this one is adorable!  

For a similar look, how about this cute one!  It’s a little smaller but would look great layered over another mat or rug!

And for layering purposes, you can’t go wrong with plaid outdoor rug! (Be sure to order one that’s a little larger than your doormat.)

Decorating Your Porch for Fall – with Mums:

If you don’t have a green thumb, go faux this year…

Fill a couple baskets or urns with these faux mums.  They come in a variety of colors to match your fall aesthetic.  (And only you and the trick or treaters will know they’re fake!) 

Each year, I love experimenting with different color combinations of mums and pumpkins on my fall porch.  With all that color, I usually keep the basics neutral so I can use them over again…

Decorating Your Porch for Fall – with Pumpkins:

What’s a fall porch without pumpkins?…

Since we all love pumpkins in the fall, I included some of my favorite faux pumpkins!  If you’re like me, you mix real pumpkins with artificial pumpkins when you decorate.

And if you read my blog regularly, you know that I love decorating with mini pumpkins as well!…

Some Essentials for Decorating Your Porch for Fall:

Instead of focusing on one season, use items that work all year!…

Basically, I couldn’t decorate my porch for fall…or any season for that matter without my black urns.  For a similar look to mine, here is a set.

To mix in some natural textures, add some real or faux flowers to apple baskets. (Since these are wooden, it’s probably a good idea to display them in a covered area.)

If you’re like me, you love the look of lanterns on a fall porch and these lanterns are just perfect for fall!…

Several times in the past, I’ve decorated my porch with lanterns and battery operated candles.   I’ve also seen people fill them with mini pumpkins for fall.  Such a cute idea!

Decorating Your Porch for Fall – with Wreaths:

When decorating your porch, don’t forget the door!…

In recent years, I’ve decorated my porch with a wreath similar to this one.

Now, if I decide to go with more red on my porch this year, this red apple wreath would be stunning…

If you like a more neutral wreath, here’s the one I just bought for my front door.  (FYI – on Amazon it looks fuller than it does in person…but it’s still very nice!)

Dress up your fall wreath with a pretty sash…

How beautiful is this pumpkin toile sash?!!  (If that one sells, out, here are a bunch more!)

Hopefully, I gave you some inspiring ideas for decorating your front porch for fall!
