Fall is my favorite time of the year. I love the cooler weather, the rich colors, and of course…the pumpkin patch! I also LOVE fall decorations and there is nothing more beautiful than a fall porch.
Here is my porch before any decorations…pretty intimidating right. I mean…where do you start? What do you buy? How much is too much and how little is too little? Rest assured…these are all legitimate questions. In this post, I will show you how to decorate your porch in 5 easy steps.

Items you will need to decorate your porch for fall:
- A wreath for your front door. I love a wreath filled with burlap, fall ribbon, etc…
- A main focal point to layer on. For example… a bench, a wagon, a couple of trunks or even a couple of hay bales
- Something with height. I chose Corn Stalks this year. In years past, I have used a scarecrow and even an old brass floor lamp.
- A front door mat. You can buy one like this
or personalize one like this.
- Mums
- Pumpkins and Gourds
- Something small to balance out the other side of the front door. I used a couple of my scrap wood lanterns with battery-operated candles.
Steps to put your fall porch all together:
Step 1) Start with your focal point. I am using my DIY Chair Bench that I made last year.
I added my homemade planters to hold my mums. This is completely optional but if you like this look you could add a plant stand.
Step 2) Add your height. In this case its the cornstalks. This is where you could add a scarecrow or my infamous table lamp.
Step 3) Add your mums. I chose yellow to brighten up the space.
Step 4) Add pumpkins and/or gourds. I added a leftover piece of my fireplace beam to elevate one of the pumpkins.
Step 5) Add something small to balance the other side of the door. I used my scrap wood lanterns to round everything out! And there you have it! Five simple steps to making the perfect fall porch!
