Fantastic Autumn Decorating
Ideas for Your Porch
You know autumn decorating is just around the corner when the summer sun starts setting earlier in the evening.
When Mary and I think of decorating ideas for fall, we immediately envision plump pumpkins, brightly colored leaves, scarecrows and cornstalks.
Autumn decorating is tons of fun as it gives you the opportunity to use such beautiful and vibrant fall colors!
Our section on front porch decorating for fall contains a myriad of ideas you can use to create a beautiful autumn porch.
John and Susan's Splendid Fall Porch
Kind readers, John and Susan, shared their autumn porch with us
John's porch has those wonderful porch steps.
Not too long ago they added the middle handrail, which makes it so much more comfortable to go up and down the steps with ease.
We love the colorful mums that adorn their New Jersey porch.
Please enjoy more pictures of this wonderful porch on our handrails page.
Nature's Bounty is a Ready Supply of Autumn Beauty
Remember how simply you can bring autumn to your doorstep
Just gather up nature's harvest and you will have something of great beauty for autumn decorating!

Jody's Gorgeous Autumn Porch
Jody, one of our Facebook friends, shared her autumn porch.
Don't you just love the refreshing green and cranberry colors together?
The ferns and sweet pumpkin pillow are absolutely delightful!
It gets me in the mood for autumn decorating.
Sylvia's Splendid Autumn Decorating
One of our readers, Sylvia, shared her gorgeous autumn porch pictures with us.
Such brilliant pops of autumn orange, gold and red make her porch very festive this time of the year.
Joyful autumn decorating!
Beautiful bird houses, bales of straw, bright orange pumpkins and autumn foliage make this autumn porch spectacular.
We really like how Sylvia carried the autumn theme to her porch landscaping. Her decorations look so fresh and fun.
The brick porch floor and deep red screen door are a perfect complement to Sylvia's fall decorations.
We love it when our readers share their porches with us!

Autumn Magic on the Porch
Such simple elegance - leaf garland trailing down the stair banister, beautiful mum and pumpkin on the porch steps
Isn't this a wonderful country porch? Talk about welcoming for autumn.
Denise of The Rusty Heart
and her daughter, Audra, created this magical porch for fall.
If you like their autumn decor, then you will love Denise and Audra's
elegant Christmas decor, too.
Another view so you can see their bountiful decorations.
The changing of the weather, as it cools down, is like a breath of fresh air that starts with your front porch and goes all through your home.
Make your front porch radiate an inviting and cozy feeling that you want friends and family to experience as they come to visit during the holidays.
Debbie's Autumn Porch
We are delighted to show you how Debbie decorates her townhouse porch for autumn.
She is proof positive that town home porches can be every bit as inviting and pretty as single home porches.
With colorful fall garlands, welcoming autumn banners, Debbie's handmade wreaths and seasonal mums,
Debbie's porch is as welcoming as it is eye-catching.
Debbie's blog, Debbie-Dabble, reflects her love of life and family.
She has been a registered nurse for many years and loves to decorate her town home with a Victorian flair.

Don't Limit Yourself to Pumpkins
When decorating your front porch for autumn, you need not be limited to the use of traditional pumpkins.
Be creative when coming up with decorating ideas for fall.
- Visit your local department and craft stores to look for awesome autumn decorating schemes.
You will find samples and ideas that are sure to get your outdoor fall decorating juices flowing.
The possibilities are endless!
- You might want to attach some corn stalks to the columns or pillars on your porch and accent them with a colorful bow and a small pumpkin or scarecrow.
This helps add dimension to the setting.
- Bales of hay also add a nice touch.
They are very versatile as they provide a stable base on which to place pumpkins and gourds or to arrange potted plants such as mums.
As your autumn decorating progresses, add a little flurry of color by weaving some fall leaf garland around the hay bale.
- Use colorful wreaths on your door or window.
Wreaths come in so many amazing styles, shapes and colors. They are not all round!
If you are even a little creative, you can make your own with just a few materials.

Would you like to make the black cat in the photo above right to add to your autumn decorating?
Unique items like this make delightful outside fall decorations. We made a similar one for our porch. Download
our free pattern and instructions to make your own!
Another of our tips for fall decorating is to take a walk in the woods.
You will find all kinds of natural things to use on your front porch.
Our daughter-in-law and granddaughter made a really neat sign from twigs and other natural materials.
You can add pine cones and branches to any design.
They will make your display more interesting as they add different textures and heights.
Don't limit your efforts to your porch; let your fall decorating spill out into your yard.
The use of a Shepherd's hooks with a pretty fall banner is also a great outdoor fall decorating idea.
Finish it off with a few pumpkins and flowers around the base and you will have created a beautiful look.
We are always on the lookout for neat autumn decorating ideas.
Here are a few of our favorites we recently discovered and thought you might like them, too!
Beautiful Japanese lantern wreath - delicate yet porch worthy for fall!
Purchase or make yourself.
The colorful autumn leaves around the base makes this very appealing; would look fantastic
at the top of your porch steps.
Couldn't resist.
These two pine cone owls could adorn a table on your porch or perhaps perch on the porch railings.

Sometimes it is the little details that count.
Notice the autumn leaves on the bale of straw?
It would look a lot different without the added touch.
Think "arrangements" when decorating for autumn.
Unless you have a large singular-type fall piece, placing both large and small items together makes for a more pleasing look as in the photo above.

Kelly adds a touch of elegance to her porch with her beautiful pumpkin topiaries at the top of her steps.

That's exactly what Rose of Sharon did for her autumn decorated porch.
Rose of Sharon's Autumn Porch Decorating Ideas
A little bit country and a whole lot appealing, Sharon's autumn decorated porch is fun to explore.
We love this screen door too.
Always fun to use, a wheelbarrow display works really well on almost any porch.
Versatile, you use it to hold mums and other colorful fall plants, pumpkins and gourds, or a combination of both.
What a neat arrangement. The tub with floating candles adds lots of interest along with the whimsical scarecrow.
Stack old crates, or new ones, to make a fun autumn display. Fill the crates or use them as shelves as Sharon has done.
Mary and I like this. An old window frame with chicken wire makes for a nifty hanging piece of fall artwork.
Adorn has Sharon has or add other autumn elements as well. Kids would have fun I'm sure, decorating the wire with branches, leaves, nuts, and other items.
You could also turn this into a Christmas holiday art piece too.
Our special thanks to Sharon, author of blog Rose of Sharon
for allowing us to show you her autumn porch.
Sharon loves life and family and you will enjoy her blog.
