1. Hang a Festive Wreath
The quickest and easiest way to transform your outdoor space is with a fall wreath! Center one on your front door or hang one from each of your windows for a festive pop of orange.
Placing a fall doormat down with a cute welcome message or festive pumpkins is a great way to welcome your guests while also making sure no dirt or mud is tracked indoors. We love how this doormat is layered with a buffalo check rug for extra fall style.
Use fall garlands to frame exterior doorways, dress up porch columns, or line railings in seasonal charm. From faux fall foliage garlands to garlands with mini pumpkins, sunflowers, or berries, there are endless styles to choose from.
Add fall character to your front yard with seasonal garden stakes. This front yard features a trio of pumpkins but you can also incorporate garden stakes with scarecrows, fall signs, and other fall symbols. There are even miniature garden stakes that are perfect for dressing up seasonal planters and flower arrangements.
Place a few fall pillows and blankets on outdoor sofas and seating areas to stay comfortable and spread the autumnal vibe into your backyard. This also applies to front porch benches or rocking chairs. With festive yet warm decor additions you can enjoy the crisp weather all the more.
Fall florals include a gorgeous mix of flowers from colorful mums to sunflowers, any of which make excellent outdoor fall decor. To reduce your yearly fall flower budget, we recommend investing in realistic faux flowers that you can display each fall.
Warm yourself up this fall season with a fire pit and cozy blankets when the temperatures start to drop. Station a patio serving cart close by to hold a fall flower arrangement, outdoor candle lanterns, and a collection of blankets so you're always ready for cool weather outdoor gatherings.
Tip!
If you don’t have space for a fire pit, look for a patio heater to warm up your outdoor space.
Turn your summer patio table into a cozy fall-ready dinner space with a few quick additions. To give it a warm feel, layer a plaid outdoor area rug under the table. Hang string lights above the dining space to keep the party going even as the days get shorter. Complete the tablescape with a plaid runner and a bold centerpiece like the sunflower arrangement pictured above.
Go all out with an orange decorative display on your front porch to mirror the colors of fall trees. This outdoor space uses a bunch of orange flowers and foliage along with seasonal planters to achieve a stunning display – without a bunch of effort. You can also recreate this look by lining front porch steps with orange decor and pumpkins.
To get this inviting fall look, you'll need a dried grass wreath, a pair of outdoor candle lanterns, classic orange pumpkins, and a log holder. To complete the display, we recommend wooden rocking chairs. However, you can substitute with whatever outdoor seating you have available.
Place a cool fall sign beside your front door, at the end of your driveway, or by your front staircase to show your love for the seasons. You can even set up a pumpkin patch sign surrounded by real (or faux) pumpkins for a quaint display.
For Halloween enthusiasts, mix standard fall decor with Halloween-specific decor, like the fun inflatable pictured above, so you can enjoy the holiday from September onward. After Halloween, just store away any holiday decor and leave out the pumpkins and fall foliage to last you through Thanksgiving.
