It's that time of year again where we are all looking to refresh our tired outdoor spaces. There is something rejuvenating about the change seasons and what better way to kick off this crisp change in weather than to revive the often neglected front porch. I went with a more British inspired look here but you can tailor your choices for whatever architectural style home that you have.

Here are a few fall front porch decor essentials that go into creating this warm and inviting look:

1. Fall Wreaths

Adding a seasonal and naturalistic wreath is a great way to add some colour and presence to your front door area. Choose a wreath that draws on nature, the less plasticy looking the better!

2. New Hardware, Accessories and Outdoor Lighting

Changing outdated house numbers and mailboxes are an inexpensive way to update the look of your front porch, easily adding to the curb appeal of your home.

Consider changing out your lighter doormats for hardworking coir ones. You can also try the layered look of a lighter rug with a textural doormat on top.

Outdoor lighting plays a crucial role in creating a warm and inviting front entrance. You can opt to change out wall sconces or merely add beautiful lanterns that will safely illuminate the way with flameless candles. All adding to that enchanting seasonal atmosphere.

3. Outdoor Planters

Try changing out the outdoor planters on your front porch. Textural woven baskets filled with tonal white mums or other seasonal plantings like asters and ornamental kale work really well in covered porch areas that are out of the rain. A grouping of planters in differing heights with both terracotta planters and baskets is a great way to mix and match textures for added interest.

4. Front Door Paint

If you are up changing the paint colour of your front door, now this the time to do it, before the really cold weather hits! A glossy deep bluish gray like Gentleman’s Grey by Benjamin Moore would make a striking first impression.

5. Decorative Pumpkins

I love a good decorative pumpkin in painterly colours, try ones in various shades of green, white and pale orange or opt for the more traditional dark orange ones. Some of my favourite unique varieties are: Blue Doll, Casper, Casperita, Cinderella, Crown Prince, Dickinson, Fairytale, Lumina White, Musque De Provence and Speckled Hound.

These fall front porch decor ideas will surely inspire you to embrace the cozy and enchanting spirit of the season. Let your creativity flow, mix and match elements, and make your front porch an inviting sanctuary for family and friends.

RELAXED ELEGANCE THROUGH OUTDOOR DECOR

Summer is all about relaxed and breezy elegance, and what better way to do this than to conjure up the dreamy and balmy Côte dAzur? The style that derives from this region encapsulates something I like to call relaxed elegance. This look is inspired by the dichotomy in style that the French seem to get so effortlessly right, both in fashion and interior and exterior design. It’s that perfect mix of both relaxed decor and dashes of more formal and elegant elements.

METAL FURNITURE

Metal outdoor furniture is always a classic, especially when paired with linen seat cushions. Much like wearing linen suiting in the summer, it lends that relaxed yet polished feel to your outdoor decor.

SCULPTURAL PIECES AND SATURATED HUES

Sculptural and geometric pieces like the smooth travertine spheres and cement planters pair nicely with some of the more informal decor.

Saturated hues like an emerald green velvet-textured outdoor throw pillow or one in a painterly stripe can add that requisite coastal vibe without being overly nautical in theme.

RATTAN, TERRACOTTA AND TEAK

Natural elements like earthy terracotta, teak, and rattan lend to the look. A striking rattan piece, like the wingback chair, can have a vintage quality. Pieces like this can really set the tone and are a fabulous focal point. Plant the terracotta planters with fragrant lavender, rich succulents like stonecrop, and blousy hydrangeas.

It’s all about drawing inspiration from the warm and sunny tones of the coast, whether through earthy terracotta, warm rattan and teak, or mustard-hued glassware..
