PUMPKINS
If you’re a neutral lover, you may gravitate toward white, gray or green pumpkins. To the lover of color (like us!), select bright oranges, golds and multi-colored ones. Your pumpkins and gourds can determine the entire color palette for your porch!
FOLIAGE
Southerners love porches with multiple planters. Transitioning the colors and textures in your existing pots to fall is easy! You can take out summer annuals and add pansies, mums, kale or cabbage. Another fun idea is to add corn stalks to your planters and tie them with a ribbon!
TEXTILES
Layers create warmth and dimension. On your soft seating, add layers of pillows or a quilt for coziness. Layering rugs in the doorway of differing sizes and materials creates an inviting space. You can always add your favorite things that make it feel more like home.
WREATHS
A door wreath is your opportunity to add flare and style to your transition into fall. This can be simple fall foliage, all green with white pumpkins, or you can make a colorful statement! We love to add in pops of nontraditional colors and florals.
