It’s Fall Y’All!
Posted on September 27, 2020 by Laura Lucky
If you’re like us, you’ve been dreaming of this time of the year. Sipping hot apple cider, cozying up with a blanket and a good book, and filling the house with the delicious aromas of caramel, pumpkin spice, and cinnamon apples. What better way to embrace the season, than with a front porch that welcomes guests with an enthusiastic nod to fall? With so many different ways to spruce up your front door, we thought we’d highlight just a few of our favorite themes that have us melting with inspiration and anticipation of that first night when a real chill hits the air. Can’t wait!
Elegant Neutrals
Yes, autumn is all about the rich colors of turning leaves. Crimsons, oranges, browns, and yellows. However, we’ve fallen in love with a front door décor comprised of a palette of whites, creams, and beiges. Think varying textures and varying tones of this classic monochromatic look. Use white and cream pumpkins and gourds, neutral-colored foliage and flowers planted in bleached driftwood planters, a nubby cream-colored throw, and textured accent pillows in tones of natural beiges.
Southwest Style
From adobe walls and earthy hues to carved wood accessories and a brightly colored front door; the Santa Fe style works well for homes in our Arizona desert too. Even if your home isn’t crafted with authentic adobe architecture, it doesn’t mean you can’t bring a little of that flavor to your front porch décor. Decorate lavishly with dried chile ristras, Mexican blankets and pottery, and dried corn cobs resting among your array of pumpkins and gourds.
Vintage Farmhouse
While this look has made its way into many, many homes recently; we still love this relaxed, homey, and comfortable style. Think classic lanterns filled with twinkling candles, hay bales, milk jugs filled with the quintessential autumn flower – mums, galvanized tin accessories, and of course, the iconic chalkboard sign.
No matter how you ring in the new season, use your imagination (and some Pinterest inspiration never hurts!) to create just the ambiance that you’re looking for. Happy fall!
