5 Must Haves for your Fall Front Porch
Are there certain ingredients to a successful fall front porch? I believe the answer to that is, YES! Today I’m sharing my 5 must haves for the perfect fall front porch!
Fall porch must have number 1: Â An outstanding fall wreath (or 2). Â I love a good fall wreath and they come in all sorts of styles and colors. Â My number one must have is a real looking autumn wreath. Â I will always choose dried over faux and you can reuse them every season too. Tip: If you have double doors like me, opt for 2 identical wreaths, one on each door. You can even add a bow and make it totally one of a kind!

Fall porch must have number 2:  Layered doormats.  Yummy texture and design layers are always a good idea for cooler temperatures.  Your door mats are no exception.  Layered door mats are cozy and inviting and really make an entrance welcoming.  Tip:  If you have double doors or a really large door, select a wider door mat.  Scale matters!  For a double door , you will want at least a 48 inch mat paired with a 3×5 ft rug laid underneath. For a single door, an approx. 30 inch doormat will be sufficient. Layer that over a 2×3 ft flat weave rug and you are set!Â

Fall porch must have number 3:  Autumn flowers & plants. Hands down my favorite fall flowers are Mums!  They come in so many different vibrant colors and really bring your porch to life.  Some other fall plants I love are the flowering kale, fountain grass, and oak leaf hydrangeas. Tip: Choose planters that reflect your home style. Combine them with baskets and pots of all different sizes. Â

Fall porch must have number 4: Â Lanters. Â Adding ambient lighting is always a good idea, esp on your fall/winter porch. Â The nights are longer and nothing says cozy like flickering candles. Â Tip: Opt of at least 2 different sizes and fill them with flameless outdoor pillar candles. Â Most of these have timers you can pre set!

Fall porch must have number 5: Â Lot’s and Lot’s of pumpkins. Â Real or faux, loads of pumpkins scream bountiful harvest. Â A good faux pumpkin is something you can use year after year. Â I love to add a pumpkin or 2 with rich texture or bold patterns too. Â Tip: Combine real and faux pumpkins for the best fall front porch.Â
