6 Easy Ways To Transition Your Porch from Summer to Fall

Decor

30 Aug

Soon the weather will be cooling and fall will be here. Today, I have 6 easy ways to transition your porch from summer to fall.

I love driving pass homes and seeing front porches decorated for the seasons. It makes the home look so warm and welcoming to family and friends.

Of all of the seasons, I must admit that fall is my favorite time of the year. I love the crisp cooler temperatures. You can throw on a sweater and wear boots. The scents of cinnamon and apple in the air from either a burning candle or a pie baking.

Today, my friend Pasha from Pasha Is Home is hosting an blog hop for early fall inspiration. You are in for a treat with 17 talented bloggers are sharing with you inspirations for fall.

If you are coming over from my friend, Renae with Peacock Ridge Farm, welcome! Renae creates such beautiful table settings. She is shows us How to Create a Beautiful Lakeside Fall Table Setting.

6 Easy Ways To Transition Your Porch from Summer to Fall

1. Add a beautiful fall wreath to your front door

There are two times in the year that wreaths are an absolute must on the front door: fall and Christmas. It’s the start of the season where we gather for holidays with family and friends.

A wreath is welcoming sign. Your door is welcoming family and friends into your home.

An Autumn wreath means the changing of time and represents the season of harvest. Not quite ready for pumpkins? Try adding pomegranates and berries into you wreath.

Remember you can always rework last year’s wreath by changing out the ribbon or adding a couple of flowers in a new color.

2. Replace Your Summer Flowers With Fall Blooms

Mums, ornamental grasses, succulents, Pansies and cabbages are perfect plants for the fall. If your summer flowers still look gorgeous wait another month.

My flowers in my planters have finished blooming. They have seen better days. So it is perfect time for me to transition to fall blooms.

It is also a great time to change out your porch containers for earthy tones. These cement planters are moved from the patio to the front porch during the fall. I love the neutral color and texture with plants.

3. Trade out those fun summer pillows for warm fall hues

You can change out your pillows with some fun colors of fall. Mix and match patterns with your pillows. If orange isn’t your color, no worries use neutral colors in your pillows.

Pillows covers are easy to store and great for changing seasons. You can use the same pillow fillers. At the end of each season, just toss them in the washer and dryer. For my pillow covers, they are laid on a drying rack to dry.

These pillows in the rockers are perfect for all the seasons. They have a wonderful neutral color and beautiful texture.

4. Swap out the front door mat

A simple way to transition your porch from summer to fall is changing out the door mat. The welcome mat can be swapped out for an autumn door mat.

I love to layer my door mat with a larger rug underneath. It adds charm and personality to your front porch. A great way to add pattern and color.

5. Keep it cozy and add a throw

A small throw blanket is perfect for those chilly mornings or evenings. Buy a few expensive ones that can be used outside.

Add a blanket to the porch

You can drape it on a bench or rocker. Once a week, just toss them in the washer and dryer.

6. it is fine to use faux pumpkins until the weather changes cooler

I love the look of real pumpkins on the porch. However, here is Maryland it is too warm to put out pumpkins or gourds on the porch until late September or early October.

It is fine to use some faux pumpkins in the meantime until the weather changes cooler. If your temperatures are cooler, go for it and add the real ones!

Fall Porch Inspiration

Here I added two metal pumpkins on top of my urns. The centers of the pumpkins are hollow and perfect to insert a outdoor timer candle underneath. It become a luminary at night on the porch.

BONUS TIP

Add a touch of the unexpected elements like a floral arrangement if guest are coming. A vintage wood box or container with some pods, pinecones or acorns. The texture and uniqueness adds charm to the space.
