Fall Porch Decor Essentials #1 – Mums flowers
In fall we think of falling leaves, harvest and the end of the growing season. But it doesn't have to mean the end of beautiful floral displays… thanks to hardy mums.
Mums are a great colorful addition to your fall porch display. In fact, in many of the photos featured in this article you'll spot some mums.
Here is a good example from Instagram of blooming mums positioned on the front porch.
Fall Porch Decor Essentials #2 – Pumpkins and Gourds
Hard to go wrong when you use pumpkins as a front porch decor element. Check out the picture below from Instagram where the homeowner uses pumpkins and some lights to create an amazing front porch display. She did such an amazing job.
Here is another good example from Instagram of using pumpkins for a splash of color on the front porch and steps. (The mums look good too.)
And if you don't want real pumpkins you can get cute wooden pumpkins like the ones below (sold on Etsy by SweetKiwi Studio).
Fall Porch Decor Essentials #3 – Signs and Welcome Mats
A great place for hand-made decorative signs is Etsy.
I found this cute pumpkin "Welcome" sign on Etsy by a maker named SheilaSmithDesigns. Very cool.
In the Instagram photo below I like how they have the Pumpkin Patch sign hanging above the porch swing. So your porch signs don't have to just lean against your house.
If you want to try and make your own fall porch sign, check out the YouTube video below.
Fall Porch Decor Essentials #4 – Scarecrows
Cute scarecrows can make a friendly addition to your fall porch decor display.
This scarecrow above is a picture of 'no sew' Scarecrow pattern that is available on Etsy.
Fall Porch Decor Essentials #5 – Wreaths
What is great about wreaths is that you can use the other fall porch essentials – like gourds, scarecrows and signs – to make an eye-catching wreath.
You can make your own wreath, or you can buy a pre-made wreath like this one below that is available on Amazon.
Check out the picture below for a lovely example of a beautiful fall wreath from the talented Lauren and Robert at blesserhouse.com

Fall Porch Decor Essentials #6 – Hay Bales
Below is a cute little fall display where the hay bale acts as the pedestal for the rest of the display.
Hay bales are closely related to element #7 below (corn stalks and dried foliage), but I believe it deserves a spot of its own because the size of a hay bale provides a good focal point to build the rest of your display around.
Fall Porch Decor Essentials #7 – Corn Stalks and Other Dried Foliage
This lovely photo I found on Instagram has a porch that gets a lot of things right. They have lots of pumpkins and gourds, a nice string of lights, and they have some tall, dried corn stalks. A lot of inspiring ideas in this picture.
Fall brings an end to the growing season and plant foliage begins to wilt and dry up. But that doesn't mean it isn't attractive.
Do you have any plants in your yard that you can collect the dried foliage to make an inviting fall porch display?
