9 Outdoor Decor Ideas For Fall on the Front Porch

Looking for outdoor decor ideas for fall on the front porch or entry of your home? Create a welcoming front entry with these charming fall decorating ideas!

Nothing says curb appeal more than a front porch or entry that says, “come on in!” And one way to add curb appeal to your home is by decorating it for the seasons.

While I love to decorate my front porch for all seasons, fall is a favorite.

There is something about pumpkins, garden mums, and other fall garden flowers to create a welcoming ambiance at the front entry.

One of the reasons I love living in New Jersey is we get to experience all four seasons. We watch our landscapes green up and bloom.

Enjoy our outdoor living spaces in the warmer months. And get to see the foliage change before the arrival of winter.

Since I live in the northeast, it gets cold here pretty quickly in October. So I want to enjoy our outdoor living spaces as much as possible before we go indoors for the winter.

Wait until you see these charming fall outdoor decorating ideas for the front entry!

What Does Curb Appeal Mean?

Curb appeal matters because it is how visually attractive a home looks from the street. That attractive look helps determine the value of a home.

And we all want to get the most value out of our home right?

While curb appeal covers all aspects of a home’s exterior including the landscaping, this post focuses on ways to add curb appeal for the season with outdoor decor ideas for fall.

Have you ever stood back and looked at your front entry before? Does it look warm and inviting?

There are ways to add curb appeal to the front entry by adding seasonal decor, plants, and flowers.

9 Outdoor Decor Ideas for Fall for the Front Porch

As I’m preparing to decorate our front porch for fall for the first time, I’m gathering ideas and inspiration to get started.

If you are new here, I moved to an 1850 farmhouse just before Christmas last year. And it’s been a whirlwind getting to know our new gardens and home.

I just cleaned up all of the container gardens that are no longer thriving to prepare them for fall plantings.

A few years ago, I designed this outdoor planter for fall and loved the bright autumn color palette so I may do something similar again in my front porch urns.

Garden Supplies I Use

I’m often asked about the garden supplies and tools that I use most. From pruners to deer repellents, here are some of my favorites in no particular order.

• I like to use a good-quality, potting soil, garden soil, compost, and perlite when planting.
• I have used this deer repellent with great success. But now, I’m all about this deer repellent that is systemic instead of topical. This means the plant takes it in as opposed to it just smelling bad.
• Hands down this is my favorite hand-weeding tool. You can use it to get underneath roots, and loosen soil, and it cuts down on the weeding time because you work much faster.
• But I also love this long, stand-up weeding tool to really get around roses from afar.
• I like to use THIS ORGANIC FERTILIZER for roses because the blooms are more prolific and it’s organic.
• You’ll need a sharp set of pruners when working with plants and flowers. I buy a few so I can stash them around.
• I use these garden snips to deadhead and cut flowers from my gardens.
• Where pest and disease problems are concerned, if I need to, I generally use this insecticidal soap or neem oil to help control infestations depending on the issue. When using, only apply when pollinators are less active.
• This is my favorite set-and-forget slow-release fertilizer for houseplants, annuals, and container gardens.
• Whenever I stake my peonies or other plants, I generally use these grow through garden supports because they work really well and keep the blooms upright.
