How to Create a Beautiful Porch for Fall
Reflect the changing seasons in your home decor by creating a beautiful porch for fall. If you are wondering how to create a beautiful porch, here are some tips to help you. Choose gorgeous elements like wreaths, outdoor furniture and rugs and bring it all together with a fall color scheme.
Plant fall flowers like sage and mums in textural planters to add a natural touch to the porch decor. While considering how to create a beautiful porch for fall, think of creative containers for fall flowers and plants to add visual and textural interest. Galvanized tubs, stoneware urns, terracotta pots, a wheelbarrow are all great choices for planting flowers and herbs. Create beautiful fall-inspired botanical displays by filling vases and planters with wheat stalks, fir branches, berries and dried leaves and twigs.
Add DIY touches to store-bought wreaths and outdoor furniture to reflect the beauty of autumn in your porch. Dress up faux or fresh autumnal wreaths with a bit of metallic paint. How to create a beautiful porch for fall is easy to do with the right choice of color palette. Subtle hints of gold, copper and brass are perfect for fall. Bring home metallic acrylic shades and brush a little on dried botanicals, wheat stalks and faux leaves of autumnal wreaths. You can use spray paint but be light with the application.
Wreaths are also easy to make at home with just a few craft supplies. Make a monogrammed wreath to add a touch of personalization to fall decor. Large cork letters or papier-mache letters are widely available so you can select a letter for your family monogram. Paint the letter a deep red or rich brown to match the colors on your porch. Let it dry, then glue fall leaves all over the letter. You can choose dried leaves or silk leaves for this project. Layer the leaves to cover the letter completely. Finally, hot glue a piece of ribbon on the back to make a hanging loop.
Enjoy your beautifully-decorated porch with outdoor furniture. Wicker sofas and armchairs are a great choice all year-round as they can be dressed up with pillows and chair cushions. Choose warm colors like olive green, deep browns, purples and mustard yellows for your upholstery or pillows. Another idea is to add cozy throws in these fall colors to snuggle up during nippy fall weather. Add a side table or two for holding a cup of steaming cocoa or coffee along with books for outdoor reading.
