Alright, let’s talk about the MVP of fall decorating—the front porch. It’s the first thing guests (and let’s be honest, delivery drivers) see when they swing by. And when those crisp autumn breezes hit? That porch is just begging for pumpkins, plaid, and cozy vibes.

Your doormat sets the tone. Like, literally—it’s the first thing people step on.

2. Go Big with Mums in Planters
Nothing says fall quite like mums. They’re bold, fluffy, and come in every autumn color imaginable—burgundy, gold, burnt orange, you name it.
