Start by picking your color scheme! It may seem obvious, with traditional Fall colors being burnt oranges, reds, yellows, and browns, but you can always mix it up if you like. You can also opt for a more neutral color palette with muted versions of the classic Fall colors.

Reference the crisp Fall weather with dried elements. A wreath made with branches and dried leaves makes a great focal point for your main door, and you can use elements like pumpkins, lanterns, and hay bales to add some weight to the lower levels of your design. The idea is to create a cohesive look that draws the eye towards your front door and adds some serious curb appeal.

With the cooler weather incoming, make sure to incorporate some soft and cozy accents. Think chunky knit blankets, fluffy cushions, and soft rugs that make you want to curl up with a good book and a pumpkin spice latte.

If you want to celebrate Fall without using the typically bright Fall color palette, you can go for something a little more fresh and modern. Pick up some white pumpkins at your local farmer’s market for a tasteful and elegant take on the classic Halloween style.

With the days getting shorter, it’s important to make sure your porch has some cozy lighting to set the mood for dark evenings. Use candles in wrought iron lanterns or gas lanterns for something old-school and a little bit witchy, or twist some fairy lights through your decor for a pretty sparkling look.
