Hello Harvest: Refresh Your Home’s Outdoor Spaces Just in Time for Fall

By

As the seasons begin to shift, it's the perfect time to give your outdoor spaces a fall refresh. Just like swapping summer staples for cool-weather décor inside your home, your outdoor areas can also benefit from a fall update, combining a charming autumn look with functional features designed for colder weather.

Whether you’re aiming for cozy curb appeal or making your outdoor gathering spots fall-proof, here are two practical home improvement ideas.

Say Hello to an Inviting Front Door Entrance

Welcome the new season with a fall-inspired front door setup. From classic touches like a collection of pumpkins to modern technology like smart lighting and stylish front door locks, your entryway is an easy way to add warmth and charm.

Try illuminating your front steps with dusk-to-dawn sconce lights. This lighting option not only frames the architecture of your door and highlights any harvest-inspired wreaths, but also enhances safety and security for longer fall nights.

Or draw inspiration from autumn’s color palette to paint your front door in a nature-inspired hue. From deep olive greens to rich mustard yellows, you can coordinate your front door color with front door locks in a standout shade, from matte black to polished gold.

Welcome Cozy Conversations with a Weatherproof Porch or Patio

While your porch or patio may have seen heavy foot traffic in the summertime, these outdoor spaces can still be a hub for cozy conversations. Before adding fall touches, prepare your deck boards composite for outdoor spaces with a light cleaning. Then, focus on décor items that double as stylish additions with durable, weatherproof additions.

If a rocking patio chair is calling your name, upgrade your seating with durable outdoor materials. Choose weather-resistant options like wicker, aluminum, or High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) plastic. Use an outdoor rug as a focal point for your porch or patio, and add ceramic planters of different heights to layer in fall foliage, from mums to ornamental kale.

With a little creativity and the right materials, you can decorate your outdoor spaces for a functional fall look.
