Embrace Everything Autumnal With These Outdoor Decor Ideas
The keyword? Cosy.
There's only way real way to prepare for the autumn season and that's by refreshing your outdoor decor. Turn your garden and outdoor area into a warm and cosy living space by adding in autumn decor essentials. Think decorating with textured wreaths, seasonal pumpkins, plush cushions in fall shades and a blazing fire pit for extra cosy.
Keep Things Mysterious
Incorporate a little mystery on your front porch by adding in Halloween decor. Add intricate webs and soft paper bats around your front door's frame to give off a eerie welcome. Insert tea lights into carved pumpkins to add dim lighting, helping to make the porch feel more spooky as it starts to turn dark.
Warm yourself up with a fire pit and cosy blankets when the temperatures start to steep. Opt for a fire pit with stone detailing to make a statement when not in use. Be sure to add thick, cosy blankets and scatter cushions to surrounding seating areas. Include an outdoor bar to store supplies for hot drinks and toasted marshmallows, this is sure to help entice your guests to stay a little longer.
Tip: If you don’t have space for a fire pit, look for a patio heater to warm up your outdoor area.
Pumpkins - they're a seasonal decorating staple. Fill your front porch with differently coloured pumpkins to give your stoop a truly autumnal feel. Mix and match various shades to add more colours to your porch. Get creative with how you decorate and display your pumpkins – fill up baskets with small gourds or use a bench to add height to a pumpkin arrangement. Stick seasonal bouquets in rustic buckets and vases to accentuate the harvest feel.
Dine Outdoors
Don’t let the cooler temperatures keep you from eating outside. Turn your summer table into a cosy fall dinner space with a few quick additions. To give it that hygge feel, layer an outdoor area rug under the table for some added texture and a neutral colour to help showcase your table decor. For added ambience and low light, pair dark-toned candlesticks with lighter-toned candles to complement the colours in your table runner and add height to your table. Place small decor items on the top of your table to complete the seasonal look.
The autumn season is all about incorporating different textures, think twig, hay or wicker, textures you wouldn't normally see during the warmer months. They give off a harvest feel while offering a neutral colour palette, ready to pair with decor items. Choose brown wicker seating with hints of colour for a charming autumn decor idea. To include more texture, hang a planter with natural fibres or opt for a textured welcome mat to place by your front door.
Contrary to popular belief, wreaths aren’t just for Christmas. Choose rich colours, like maroon and orange, to embrace the classic autumnal colour palette. Add additional items such as faux apples or pumpkins to your wreath to help elevate the seasonal vibe. Hang a wreath on your front door, window or even above your garage door.
