Transitioning Your Fall Porch

Happy Friday! This wasn’t a planned blog post, but I like being casual on Fridays so I thought I’d keep the blog causal too :) I looked out at my porch the other day and realized that I have had three different fall porch designs since September. That may seem a little crazy and overboard, but at the same time it has made sense and I actually didn’t make that many changes to complete the three different looks. I started with our early fall porch, then went into Halloween and now a late fall/Thanksgiving porch. I thought it would be fun to show you how transitioning your fall porch can be super easy!

Thanksgiving Porch Decor

Here is how my porch looks today. At least for a few more weeks until I completely redo it for Christmas! The blush pink tones from our early fall porch faded away (more realistically my pink mums shriveled up), so after I took down our Halloween Porch I brought out these deep Burgundy mums for a little pop of dark earth tones for Thanksgiving.

Transitioning Your Fall Porch

Blush Pink Early Fall Porch using Pink mums and white pumpkins

Here is a peek at how my porch started in the beginning of fall. I planted these huge dramatic grasses in tall black pots and placed a neutral jute rug as a door mat. Those were my base items for all three looks.

As Halloween approached, I just made a few tweaks to turn it into something a little cute and spooky! I removed all the pink, added this BOO Door Mat, restocked the pumpkins and added a few other Halloween elements. And in this case I simply added a crow to the existing wreath! But otherwise the base items still stayed the same.

Now today, it’s taken on the look of a little more late fall and is all ready for Thanksgiving! I added the red mums and put up a new red pinecone wreath and that is IT! This wreath will actually stay up here for the holidays and a new transition will begin.

Pin For Inspiration!

Learn how to easily transition your fall porch into early fall, Halloween and Thanksgiving by only changing a few items!

    You’re right – although the base elements were still the same it looks so different with only the few new addings around. It’s amazing what so less new deco changes varies the total look! I like your Halloween porch at most. Certainly because it’s my favourite season ;). It looks all told autumnal, chic and a little spooky!

#ad We’ve been working on a few refreshes in our backyard this year! The sun has worn down a lot of our furniture out here so we are swapping out our weathered umbrella tables with these gorgeous black fluted tables from @veradek . I already had the matching planters out here (and love them BTW), and decided to add one more in the SandStone color for a bit of contrast. #myveradek #reimagineoutdoors #meetyououtside

Almost everything in here was either brought from our Washington home 3 years ago or bought second hand! Piece by piece this room has become a cozy space for our family over the last 3 years. The new stairs are staying and will work into the new design, I love them so much.
