How to Decorate Your Front Porch for Fall
As the days get shorter and the air gets crisper, it's time to start thinking about how to decorate your front porch for fall. Atlanta homes for sale will get more attention when they have a cozy, lived-in look. Add instant curb appeal by following these tips for the perfect, autumn-ready front porch.
- Create a Cozy Place to Sit
If you have the space, create a cozy place to sit and sip on your morning coffee while you enjoy crisp autumn mornings. Set up a bench or a couple of chairs, depending on the size of your porch, and don't forget to make the area weather-proof so that you can enjoy your porch all autumn long. Partially enclosing the porch with windows or screens will let light in while acting as a windbreak, or you can hang insulated curtains to help keep the area comfortable. Throw pillows and blankets add the finishing touches to a cozy fall retreat. - Change Your Color Scheme
As summer flowers subside and the leaves begin to fall, don't forget to change your decor to match nature's color scheme. Swapping your doormat, chair cushions, and throw pillows is a quick and easy way to change the look of your porch. Opt for more rustic color schemes, such as oranges, dark reds, and browns. - Add Fall Foliage
If you have planters or flower baskets on your porch, now is the time to change them out for more seasonally appropriate foliage. Think of common late-blooming flowers such as mums, grass plants, pine cones, or dried flower arrangements. Wreaths, garlands, or bunches of fall leaves, real or fake, can be used as well if you're not much of a green thumb. - Decorate with Favorite Fall Objects
Many of the best porch displays incorporate favorite fall objects into the decor. Pumpkins and gourds are commonly found arranged on people's porches, on the stairs, and on either side of the walk. Wooden apple crates can be stood on end and used to house your autumn displays, and bushel baskets make great decor as well. Are you afraid of the squirrels eating your decor? Buy decorative glass lanterns at home or craft stores and fill them with tiny pumpkins and gourds. - Add Gilding
For a more graceful seasonal look, break out the gold and silver spray paint and paint common fall plants and decor. For instance, an arrangement of gilded pumpkins on the steps or spilling out of a planter on either side of the front door says autumn, but with elegance. If that's too much metallic for you, add metallic pumpkins or pine cones into your arrangement more sparingly.
