We all like to show off our home’s style, especially during certain seasons like fall. Who doesn’t love to see pumpkins sitting outside front doors reminding us that it’s the pumpkin spice time of the year? This season has all of my favorite things including; beautiful colors, spiced apple cider, candy, sitting next to the fireplace, crisp smells and so much more. So today, I’d thought we’d get a little nostalgic and try to evoke those feelings of home and comfort. You can do this simply by decorating your front door with the spirit of fall. Here are some quick and easy front door decor tips for fall.
The most obvious and easiest way to put fall on your porch is to grab a couple pumpkins from the grocery store and set them on your front porch. If you want to ramp it up a little you can always grab a few different sizes and layer them up like the picture here.
These decorations are a great frame for the new legacy steel door too. Layering the pumpkins on top of each other and having different sizes like the picture creates dimension and visual interest to your front door. This is a sure fire way to get people to have that fall feeling when they enter your home keep them in awe.
The second easy tip is to get a front door mat that matches the season. I keep several different mats in my garage over the seasons and switch them out whenever it’s appropriate. This not only helps welcome guests, but it also is a great way for them to feel encouraged to wipe their feet before they enter your home.
Our third tip is to place decorations around the door itself. Anything that draws the eyes in is a great way to make your guests feel comfortable from when they first step into your home. A welcome sign like in the picture above and a wreath on the door lets guests know you are happy to have them over. This puts people’s minds at ease the second they walk through that door and into your home. In my book, this is a very good thing!
Don’t be afraid to play around with layers and make your front door decor your own. It’s this creative part of the process that makes decorating your home so much fun. You’ll get that feeling of nostalgia yourself when you walk through your door.
They say that smell triggers the most memories. So my last pro tip is candles. I was always astounded walking into my friend’s house when I was younger. As soon as you walked in the door the feeling of fall engulfed your senses, and that’s because she always had a pumpkin or fall candle lit. The smell sat in the room and gave me a memories of Thanksgiving and hot apple cider. You can never go wrong with a nice candle. The best part about candles is that they pack a big punch for being so inexpensive.
We hope you’ve enjoyed today’s article. Remember, decorating for fall should be an easy and fun experience. Don’t be afraid to get creative because you and your guests will enjoy seeing these decorations. Finally, don’t forget the candles and to spend a lot of quality time with your loved ones. We are only here once and the time we spend with family and friends is priceless. Happy Fall!
