Showing fall spirit with new front porch ideas 

There’s nothing quite like the beauty of changing leaves, spending cozy afternoons with a blanket on the porch swing or sipping a pumpkin spice latte to get you in the mood for fall. From festive garlands to artificial pumpkins, we have you covered with the top decor and accessories to turn your porch into a fall oasis.

In this article: Avoin Colorlife Pumpkin Fall Throw Pillow Covers, Winlyn Assorted Artificial Orange Pumpkins and Safavieh Courtyard Collection Area Rug

How do I make my front porch fall-themed?

Traditional fall decor incorporates rustic and farmhouse elements. Artificial pumpkins, gourds, corn on the cob, wheat sheaves and hay bales capture the essence of farm life and the Thanksgiving season. Garlands, wreaths and doormats in rich autumn colors, candle lanterns and vintage-style barrel planters filled with fall flowers are nice touches as well.

You may want to go with fall decor that also works for Halloween, such as scarecrows and corn brooms, the latter being a subtle nod to both witches and barnyards. Consider switching out existing throw pillows, throw blankets and area rugs with more festive options in red, yellow or orange.
