1. Pumpkins & Mums: The Classic Combo That Never Fails

You can’t go wrong with this timeless pairing. Mix and match pumpkins of different sizes and colors — think traditional orange, creamy white, or muted sage — and pair them with vibrant mums in golden yellow, deep burgundy, and warm rust tones. Cluster them together at different heights for a lush, full display that feels both organic and intentional.


2. Lanterns: Add a Warm Glow at Dusk

As daylight fades earlier, a little glow goes a long way. Incorporate lanterns with LED candles or fairy lights to create an inviting, cozy vibe. Line them along your steps or tuck them between pumpkins and planters for soft illumination that draws the eye and warms the heart.


3. Wooden Crates: Rustic Layers with Purpose

Wooden crates aren’t just for farmhouse-style décor — they’re the secret to adding dimension to your porch display. Use them to elevate smaller pumpkins or mums, stack them asymmetrically for a casual look, or even turn one on its side to create a mini shelf for lanterns or signs.


4. Bales of Hay: Instant Texture & Height

A small bale (or two!) of hay adds rustic charm and height variation to your setup. They’re perfect as a natural base for pumpkins, crates, or even a cozy plaid blanket draped over the top. Plus, hay bales bring that quintessential fall harvest feel that instantly says “welcome home.”


5. Wreaths & Garlands: Frame the Season at Your Door

Your front door is the focal point — make it pop with a festive wreath or garland that ties your color palette together. Whether you prefer a simple eucalyptus wreath with mini pumpkins or a fuller design of berries, pinecones, and leaves, this finishing touch creates instant curb appeal and sets the tone for the rest of your home.


6. Corn Husks: The Finishing Touch for Farmhouse Fall

Add vertical interest with bundled corn husks on either side of your door or porch pillars. Their natural texture and height give your display that authentic harvest-season look — like a nod to classic fall festivals and family farm stands.

The beauty of fall porch décor lies in layering — textures, colors, and heights that feel abundant yet natural. Start with a few simple pieces, mix in your favorites, and don’t be afraid to experiment!
