Move over Christmas with your blinking lights and inflatable snowmen, outdoor fall porch and decor have never looked better. If there’s a fall elf under Santa’s employment, she’s been doing a great job. What was once a perfunctory walk in our neighborhood has now become a fall spectacle. And it’s not just pumpkins, there are Marvel-sized spiders, scarecrows, wheelbarrows filled with autumn flowers and, of course, pumpkins.
Here’s a fall porch roundup that can be the inspo behind your home’s outdoor design:
Blown Away
Try something different from expected cloth garlands and have one made from balloons in Halloween colors.
Tone It Down
While orange is vibrant and festive, it isn’t the only Halloween hue to make an impact. Try something more understated, like white pumpkins and mums. They also look great on the fall porch once Halloween is over.
Pumpkins Simplified
If you are fortunate enough to find a beautifully colored and shaped pumpkin, hold onto it and make it the spotlight. One simple orange and white pumpkin, with a smattering of little ones, create an inviting fall porch. A seasonal wreath that is all the more vibrant on a blue door completes the look.
More the Merrier
Pumpkins are better in groups. Choose enough for each step in a variety of sizes. Stack with largest on the bottom or vice versa. In fact, tinker till you get the look you want.
Call the Exterminator!
A collection of spiders crawling along posts are a great look. Add in some of different colors to keep the eye dazzled.
Vintage
Halloween is classic vintage, so bring in the kitschy touches like scarecrows, overstuffed flower boxes, and of course, a variety of pumpkins for the fall porch.
