Fall Decor Ideas for the Front Porch

Updated on August 24, 2019

You remember from an earlier post Updating your Front Porch, the door is now washed with my favorite color, coral. With the change of season, I’ve made a few tweaks, that I think look great with the new door color. Here are my Fall Decor Ideas for the Front Porch .

1. Mums or other Fall Flowers

The door tends toward, shall I say BOLD color. Therefore, I chose the softer shades of green, plum and white to usher in the autumn and fall season on the front porch. These mums had me a “blush”.

2. White Pumpkins

The steel topiaries welcomed white baby boo pumpkins, tucked in and around the succulents that survived and thrived through spring and summer.

I managed to “skinny-in” (a favorite phrase adopted from a dear friend, and Kindergarten Teacher extraordinaire, Miraculous Marsha, (if you’ve ever watched how she works in a classroom full of Ks you would agree with the name)), a wicker rocker! Tom the Great and I have to take turns as there is just room enough for one on my teeny-tiny “mid-west” porch!

The pink petunias that cascaded from the twig basket this summer were replaced with soft blush pink mums and a ruffly decorative kale plant. I think Annalisa the Beautiful’s bunny prefers the kale.

3. Fall Welcome Wreath

I updated the wreath on the door for fall as well. By swapping out my spring-themed “Welcome Friends” sign for a wooden white pumpkin, and exchanging the pink flowers for of a couple of glitter sunflowers, I’ve easily transformed the wreath for fall.

I tried to stick with the softer shades of fall. But, who in the world could blame a life long lover of orange for purchasing a couple of these stunning Celosia?
