Dress Up Your Front Porch

Adorn your door with a festive wreath, add some mums to your planters, and toss in a few pumpkins in varying shapes and colors for good measure. That’s all you need for instant autumnal curb appeal.

Looking to style your fireplace mantel? Here’s an idea – inspired by a reproduction artwork of a fox, my foxy fall mantel decor is styled with seasonal colors, vintage finds, cozy candlelight, and a few well-placed pumpkins. I’m sharing the look with you as well as my thought process for putting it all together. 

Drape Your Porch in Magical Lights

If you don’t have an outdoor space strung with lights, you’re totally missing out. It’s the quickest and easiest way to create an outdoor space that’s begging to be enjoyed. It’s especially magical and cozy during the fall season. (A few pumpkins help too!)

Pro Tip: You may not have thought about this, but for me, music is always a consideration when it comes to decorating. I like to engage all of the senses. I also HIGHLY recommend my Ultimate Folk Playlist which is perfect for the season and contains over 8 hours of acoustic-inspired tunes everyone will love.

DIY This Colorful Wheat Decor

This might be my favorite fall project and it’s SO EASY. This colorfully wrapped wheat is an easy way to add beautiful and colorful detail to a rather basic decor item. I did this colorful version years ago. I loved this project so much that I repeated it last year with a more muted version. Use whatever colors suit your decor. Get the tutorial HERE.

Craft Custom Napkins with Stamps

Feeling crafty? Dress up plain napkins with ink and stamps. I created some with leaves and pumpkins, but you can use any design you’d like. Match something to your decor or celebration.

Style a Festive Feast for Friends to Enjoy

Clean off your kitchen island and style a delicious and beautiful feast fit for the Pumpkin King (or Queen)! This was a spread I created a few years ago in my apartment and I still love it to this day. And don’t miss my Everything Bagel Pumpkin Cheeseball. It is still one of the most viewed recipes on my blog during the fall season.

Create a Festive Banner with Tags

Typically, word decor isn’t my cup of tea. However, I think it can be such a fun and graphic touch for events, parties, and entertaining. Using sticker alphabet letters you can spell out your favorite greeting of the season.

 

Turn Acorn Squash into Jumbo Acorns

Want one more DIY? Turn acorn squash into jumbo acorns. The project is so easy and the results are adorable. Plus, since squash tends to last a while, once you’re done with them as decor, slice them open and roast them in the oven for a delicious side dish!

Add Simple Seasonal Touches to Your Kitchen

Keep it simple but seasonal. A few little touches (including some homemade apple desserts and pumpkin sweets) will instantly have your kitchen feeling ready for the season. In my kitchen, I like to have a seasonal candle, fresh autumnal flowers, pumpkins, and a few decorative items to complete the look.

Looking for something a bit more spooky? Then step into my ghost-filled butler’s pantry. I’m sharing some spooky chic Halloween kitchen decor. I used ghost tealight holders and pumpkins to create a ghoulishly good display.
