Nature will give you a helping hand with the outdoor décor. You can pick up on the natural color scheme to complement your outdoor decorating. Pretty fall flowers in colorful planters make a nice touch for the porch or deck but there are plenty of other ideas to give your home a warm, welcoming appearance.
Welcome Mats
What could be more welcoming than a clean, new, attractive welcome mat? There are many designs from which to choose but natural fiber welcome mats add something special to fall décor. If natural materials don’t strike your fancy, you may want a custom mat or perhaps you’ll choose to customize one yourself. An inexpensive welcome mat can be painted easily with fall motifs, monograms, or anything else you like.
Changing Colors
With the changing colors of the leaves you can also change the colors of your outdoor furniture. By simply covering existing cushions in fabrics with deeper colors, you can transform your summer seating into an autumn area.
Autumn Accessories
Don’t forget to accessorize. Just as you can use natural elements indoors to bring a feeling of fall into your home, you can also use those elements outdoors. What could be better than natural elements in a natural setting? Gather twigs, nuts, pine cones or pretty rocks and find creative uses for them or simply fill containers. Use one as a centerpiece on your outdoor table or fill a large planter to dress up an empty corner of the porch, deck, or patio.
Large twigs, small branches, or dried grasses can be placed in urns to use as decorations. They can also be made into rustic looking wreaths and sprays for the front door. Try a spray of twigs tied with ribbon over your address plaque.
Paint a wooden serving tray with colorful leaf designs and use it for serving beverages or snacks outdoors. Try using real leaves as stencils and decorate a variety of items with this method to create a coordinated look.
