A whole bundle of textures to leaves, flowers, and veggies that the autumn season brings along makes it a celebration-worthy time of the year. Welcome, all your visitors with some of those amazing leafy garlands or lavish wreaths, or simply weathered wooden signs, taking inspiration from the below 15 Stunning Fall Porch Decor Ideas.
1. Rustic Metallic Fall Porch
While loads and loads of pumpkins put together in a creative yet subtle assembly would make just about any porch look incredible, the rustic metallic textures of this small porch go with it like nothing else can. A touch of rusty orange combined with dark rich neutrals and metallics from the front door are going to take you by an awe, and those corn stalks planted in huge pots on both the corners are all about the fall season. White pumpkins surround the cornstalk not only inside the pots, but also at the bottom, having a few of them coated in a golden glittery paint drip pattern find special spots around the decor.
The much needed vibrancy comes into play with a red planter loaded with beautiful mums. To make everything glow in the dark, add a few wooden lanterns with candles installed inside to the arrangement. For giving a vivid installation to the pumpkins, you can use small stools or wooden log discs for rustic bases to the veggies, just like showcased in the below guide by Design Dining and Diapers, working neutrals at their best.
2. Farmhouse Themed Fall Porch Decor
Next to perfection is this inspiration for working up a fall porch decor in a farmhouse-inspired appeal. This one celebrates the natural prettiness of autumn by going for lots of leaves, acorns, pinecones and gorgeous fall colors combined together as a front door wreath, dressing up the porch for the season. Another wreath hangs beautifully on a teal post installed on the porch, getting accompanied by a few faux pumpkins and a strand of bright or orange fall leaves that adds the perfect final touches to the assembly.
The pumpkins and fall leaves create magic yet again when used to decorate a rustic wooden crate with a stained texture that sits right behind the teal post. Add as many lanterns with candles, gourds and bright orange pumpkins to the place as you like and they will all compliment each other’s color schemes, bringing out a breathtaking blend of shades of orange, white, wooden hues and much more. To get an insight into the different elements of the decor, or simply the whole pre-decorated porch, head to the great story with pictures.
3. Pumpkin and Lead Autumn Porch Decorating
Natural elements of fall when put together in the most creative fashions around the front porch makes your home welcome the guests with so much more warmth, and of course, beauty. And it’s amazing how you can craft super long and rich garlands entirely out of autumn leaves, using the same to line the door from three sides, while a lovely fall wreath adorned with loads of mini pumpkins and gourds hangs right in the middle of the door. The fact that it’s all about stringing lots of pumpkins together to work up the wreath, you don’t need to put any expert craft skills to use or strive for any kind of perfection.
Even the stairs climbing up the front door are lined with different sizes of real pumpkins, allowing the bright orange from the veggies to compliment the stonework of the stairs. For the bottom of the stairs, the author places beautiful yellow mums in little pots, thereby enhancing the color scheme even more. Special mention for the pumpkin topiaries, having three different-colored gourds arranged in ascending order of their size.
4. Giant Distressed Fall Sign
The whole world of possibilities that pallet wood opens for home decoration, giving old and worn-out stuff a brand new purpose coming with visual appeal and style is all thanks to this great fall porch decor idea. This giant distressed fall sign standing right next to the front door gets a rustic base with a rectangular piece of reclaimed wood or shipping pallets. The oversized fall sign with letters done in a super subtle font charms up the porch with its unique, distressed texture and simplicity. Minwax Dark Walnut stain brings out the distressed look when it’s subjected to a careful sanding, followed by doing the letters with the help of vinyl letters and Silhouette CAMEO.
A rich coat of white paint applied to the board does the magic when the vinyls are removed, adding the final touches of distressing with another thorough sanding of the board. To signify the spirit of fall with a few natural touches, you can always throw in a few pumpkins and vibrant yellow mums around the sign, and we bet the porch wouldn’t call for any more effort.
5. Fall Mums in Olive Buckets
If you are one of those who don’t want to make their front porch look a bit overdramatic, these fall mums installed in olive buckets with an industrial essence are all you need to decorate this section of your house with. What all you are going to need to get started with the project includes an olive bucket or any other container of your choice, a pot for the inside of the bucket, a grapevine wreath, lots of berry bunches, and mum in a pot. The key is to lift the mums over the edge of the bucket, and for that, the author here places 8 inch terra cotta pots inside the same and places a grapevine wreath inside the bucket’s rim.
The grapevine wreath not only enhances the beauty of the flowers installed inside, but also provides for a surface for the mums to rest. The potted mum placed inside the bucket join hands with lots of greenery and bunches of autumn berries that are stuck into the grapevine wreath, and the stunning porch decoration idea comes to life with sheer effortlessness.

The key is to line the stairs with some natural fall produce, including glorious pumpkins in different sizes, while bundles and bundles of mum in huge bunches flourish in a number of rustic wooden pots and buckets. Even an old vintage-themed child chair and a few old stool chairs work wonders as the bases for the flower vases.

A horseshoe wreath brightens up the front door, the porch post gets its much needed prettiness with those grapevines and bittersweet draped around the post and across the top of the entry. A large welcome sign with a floral design along one edge makes things simply splendid, as if it was already not gorgeous enough.
7. House Numbers Pumpkin Topiary
Ditch a regular house number plate or sign this Halloween season for guiding the trick-or-treaters through your address – instead employ gorgeous pumpkins for the job by imprinting the number on a fall-worthy pumpkin topiary. The star element here is the glorious white hue of the pumpkins, adorned with beautiful plastic letters in your choice of font, adding one letter on each of the gourds stacked on top of each other. What forms the base here is a lovely wooden bucket loaded with moss, going just so well with the white veggies kept on top.
The required supplies include some faux pumpkins, plastic digits, a container, a wooden dowel, sheets of newspaper, some Spanish moss, a hot glue gun, a knife, and a philips head screwdriver. The wooden dowel keeps the pumpkins in perfect place when you thread it through the gourds, while anchoring it to the bottom of the container. Head to the below tutorial by At The picket Fence and take a look at the steps of constructions you need to pull off to get the project done, flaunting your house number with utmost grace.
8. Fall Porch Decor Ideas : Versatile Chalkboard Sign
The benefit of installing a chalkboard sign on your front porch is that you can always customize it to suit the different occasions of the season, while keeping the rest of the decor unchanged.

And rest of the magic is done by that chalkboard which needs a new scribble or doodle and everything would seem apt and appropriate for Halloween, Thanksgiving or simply the onset of autumn itself.
Heirloom pumpkins accompanying the board are truly marvellous, while that front door wreath is worked up using lots of slices of white birch bark, further layering them around a form.

And that’s why this porch decor idea that mimics the gourds with a do-it-yourself woodworking project definitely deserves to be given a shot this fall season.

But, you will be surprised to see how easy it is to get it all done, that too with just a handful of supplies, including some plywood, pieces of salvaged wood or reclaimed lumber or pallet wood, a strong wood glue, a bunch of small brad nails and screws, a sandpaper, some hanger bolts, a few small tree branches, some fine wood stain, some wax and sealer, a chop saw or miter box, screw gun, hammer and jigsaw.
A great touch of variation comes to the whole assembly because of clever stain jobs done on the gourds, wherein each of them comes with a unique texture and staining of its own.
