Fall is so exciting because it is the start of the holiday season! When you think about the holidays, most people think about decorating, inside or outside. If you have a balcony, wraparound porch, or a little corner, decorating can add much fun for the holidays!
Before you start decorating, consider the vibe you want to go for. From trendy fall colors to spooky skeletons, you can’t go wrong. Here’s some tips to help get you started on your decorating!
Keep it Simple
There’s nothing wrong with wanting to keep it simple! The white mums lighten the place up, while the wreath adds a pop of color. Switch out that generic door mat with one that has some festive cheer. Mats with sayings like “Thankful” or “Harvest Blessings” are popular, too. This house kept it classy and subtle while still celebrating the fall season!
According to urbanstems.com, mums symbolize joy, life, friendship, luck, and rebirth. Mums are perfect during the fall season. While the summer flowers start to fade, mums begin to bloom in various autumn colors. With their ability to stand cooler temperatures, it’s no wonder mums are so popular around this time of year!
Add Pillows and Blankets
Don’t forget the front porch furniture! Adding a few pillows and throw blankets can add a sweet touch of fall. Bring the indoor cozy feel outside your front door! A little goes a long way, so pillows and plush throws are the perfect additions to add a pop of color and accent your furniture. What color should you use? You can never go wrong with the muted colors of falling leaves. Yellow, orange, brown and red hues will be your best bet! Like this house, break up the solid colors and utilize simple patterns like gingham and plaid.
Pumpkins Galore
The more pumpkins, the better! If you have stairs, take advantage of them like this house did. Layer them with colored pumpkins in different sizes and potted plants. Pumpkins can be tricky. If you don’t like the idea of rotting pumpkins, faux pumpkins are a good alternative for decorating, and you can store them when it’s off season. Decorating will be easier and less of a mess!
Fall is in the air, and the holiday season is a good enough excuse to revamp your front porch for the next few months. Don’t just stop with decorating inside. Bring the festivities out on your front porch for the neighbors to see! Goodbye Summer, hello Autumn!
