As the weather transforms and the leaves turn, I’m more inclined to swap out decor items to match, both indoor and outdoor. When styling my small front porch this year, I opted for a minimalistic, cheerful ambiance. I kept these easy tips in mind for my small front porch fall decorating ideas:
Pick a color palette
Deciding which colors to decorate with is the very first place I start. Will it be a moody palate of plum, grey, and merlot? Or a neutral modern vibe of whites and creams? This year’s color palette leans toward traditional harvest tones like muted reds, oranges, and yellows.
Add seating
One of my beloved morning rituals is sitting in my bistro chair, sipping coffee, and watching the world wake up. I don’t have much time to spare, but even these five minutes spent enjoying the sunrise sets a positive tone for the day. Creating a cozy spot to sit is one of my favorite small front porch fall decorating ideas. Add a cozy spot for yourself, snuggle with a warm blanket, and bring a gratitude journal for an outdoor reset.
Create symmetry
Stacking pumpkins is a common way to add height and dimension to a small front porch. This year, I decided to line miniature pumpkins down the walkway to create symmetry and elongate the path, making it seem longer than it is. You can also create symmetry with outdoor planters, lanterns, or hay bells if you like a rustic look.
Seasonal elements
Incorporating natural elements into my home decor is one of the most inspiring small front porch fall decorating ideas. I replaced my summer flowers with these deep red mums and I love how they look in my wicker planters. I’ve also mixed faux pumpkins with real pumpkins that the girls picked out from the pumpkin patch.
