Autumn has arrived in all its splendor — the perfect excuse to ramp up your curb appeal. Make your neighbors envious of your festive front porch with these five fun decoration ideas:

Corn Husk Garland  – Using jute rope and dried corn husks, you can create a neutral seasonal garden to adorn your front porch. Read the tutorial  here.

Add in Greenery  – Balance the fall colors of pumpkins and gourds by pairing them with large planters filled with green plants. Be sure to choose plants that are frost resistant so they will uphold after cool nights. Read more  here.

Pumpkin Topiary  – Using faux pumpkins, run a dowel through them and place atop a large planter to create pumpkin topiaries. If there are windows surrounding your front door, place faux spider webs on them for a spooky vibe. To view a pumpkin topiary tutorial, click  here.

Muted Colors  – If the warm and bright hues of fall aren’t your preference, go for a more muted color palette, accenting with light greens and whites. Read more  here.

Cozy Seating  – Add a small seating area with pillows and blankets in autumnal hues to make your porch more inviting. Sprinkle in pumpkins and gourds for some additional pops of color. See more  here.
