I’m ready for a chill in the air and the season’s first fire…for wool socks and chunky sweaters and hot chocolate before bed…for pumpkin spice and simmering pots of chili…for boots and flannel sheets…I’m ready for autumn.
And when the seasons change, the way I welcome friends and family into our home also changes. Today, I want to show you some inspiration for fall decorating outside!
A few years ago, we moved one of our farm tables outside for the fall party we host every year…
A BIG pumpkin presence gives this porch a WOW factor!
If you’re fortunate enough to have an old wheel barrow, it would be perfect for overfilling with pumpkins, gourds and colorful leaves…
Wreaths are also a welcoming addition…
A couple of years ago, I decorated my entry for fall using only 3 elements: plants, pumpkins and a fall wreath. Sometimes simple things, if they’re layered, are enough.
Having a screen porch or a back deck is another space to add a few fall elements…
A wreath and some string lights set the mood for this outdoor space…
Or for more subtle fall decorating outside the house, this old shutter and galvanized steel buckets make a fun DIY…
But really, when the leaves finally start to change, fall has enough beauty all her own. You don’t have to go to great lengths to decorate. Simply add a throw to your favorite porch chair and spend some time sipping hot cider and breathing in the season.
