Are you ready to decorate your front porch for fall? This is my favorite time of year and today I’m sharing my favorite fall front porch decor ideas!
Whether you love fall for the crisp air, cooler weather, leaves falling, Halloween fun, or Thanksgiving get-togethers, it’s the perfect time to update your front porch decor for the season.
You can decorate your front porch really cute on a budget, too!
7 Things You Need to Decorate Your Front Porch for Fall
Here are some budget friendly decorating ideas to help you spruce up your front porch for autumn!
1. Dried Corn Stalks
Adding dried corn stalks to our front porch is one of my favorite fall decor ideas!
Since we grow corn in our garden, we have free corn stalks to use. We wait for them to dry and turn brown, then bundle them up with twine. I love that we have multiple uses for the corn, too!
You can place these in a milk can or tie them to porch posts with twine.
If you don’t grow corn, check a local farm stand for dried corn stalk bundles.
2. Pumpkins & Mums
It wouldn’t be a fall front porch without pumpkins and mums!
You can use real or artificial pumpkins. There are so many different shapes and colors of pumpkins you can use.
I love mixing white, green, and orange pumpkins of all shapes and sizes.
Pumpkins can get pricey, especially if you go to a pumpkin patch. Check Aldi or the grocery store for pumpkins on sale, or a local farm stand.
Stack pumpkins on your porch steps, in a rustic wagon, on an old rustic chair, in big baskets, on tables, or by posts.
Mums come in several colors and look beautiful wrapped in burlap or planted in a pot.
3. Fall Door Hanger
A new door hanger or wreath will really liven up your front porch.
Decide on your color theme and look on Etsy for a fun fall door hanger.
4. New Doormat and Rug
An easy and budget friendly way to change out your front porch decor for different seasons is with a new doormat and/or rug.
I love the layered look of a larger, neutral doormat and a fun rug on top.
This black and white checkered doormat would look great for fall and into winter.
And add this cute doormat on top for a fun layered look.
5. Outdoor Throw Pillows
Update the pillows on your porch chairs, bench, or swing for some fall pillows. You can add printed pillow covers, or a solid color or pattern depending on what else you have going on.
Check out the end of season sales and buy throw pillows or covers on clearance for next year!
6. String Lights
String lights are fun and cozy any time of year, but I especially love them for fall!
Add a string of lights to railing or hang them above for a warm, cozy, and inviting look to your front porch.
7. Rustic or Vintage Items
I love to mix old with new all throughout my home, and especially outdoors. We have an old wagon, milk cans, chairs, and bushel baskets that I like to move around and decorate with.
Check yard sales for unique items you can use for decor!
Have fun decorating your front porch and shop smart to keep it on a budget! Check end of season sales and clearance to find things for next year.
You can also shop yard sales, DIY your own decor, and shop around your home first.
Happy Fall, Y’all! 🙂
