With each new season, I feel the need to redecorate my home. I’ve gathered some fall front porch ideas for those of you who, like me, are on a budget!
I live in a townhome, and I’ve enjoyed being here for the past few years. There’s not a crazy amount of space to decorate for every holiday, but I try to make the most of it by adding personal touches to my front stoop, my kitchen, and my living room. Autumn is my favorite season, so naturally, I felt the need to bring on the pumpkins and cute decor!
Last year, I went to Hobby Lobby with my sister and found the most perfect little wreath for 50% off, then I added a few “accessories” to make it my own. I also picked up a doormat at Target, and while it doesn’t have a witty Halloween quote or autumnal print to it, I felt like it was fitting for my family and my home during this celebratory season. I got a classic, orange pumpkin and my neighbor was so sweet to give me the little white pumpkin that was the perfect addition to my outdoor space!
I wanted to share some decor ideas for your front porch or stoop, with the help of fellow bloggers and influencers. While I might not be able to go all-out, I use their photos to inspire me when I make my space more festive. Whether you can only do a little bit of decorating, or you have more wiggle room, the important part is to enjoy getting into the seasonal spirit!

It’s really easy to decorate simply for the season, without overspending.
My first tip is to stick with a theme. I personally felt like autumn was more appropriate than Halloween or Thanksgiving because it encompasses more of the season, and then I’m not switching out decor the moment October ends. My doormat is even applicable during winter and Christmas. I also chose real pumpkins rather than just fake ones so I could keep them outside even when the weather isn’t friendly.
Along with sticking to a theme, you should take advantage of sales. I got several indoor decorations in addition to my wreath at Hobby Lobby, all for 50% off. Rather than spending upwards of $65-70, I only spent $30 total. You can even wait until the end of a particular season to grab your decor, then just box it up and wait to bring it out next year!

So cute! I normally just toss out a few pumpkins and mums, but I need to step it up. I have fake pumpkins but they’re SUCH a pain to store and take up lots of room, so I’d rather spend a few bucks on real ones each year. Cute ideas!! 😍
Stephanie Whitman says
I really need to include some mums this year. I love how they look! I don’t have much of a “porch,” so it’s hard to find the space to add more than pumpkins – but our next door neighbor keeps a little table next to their door, and they put all their plants on that, so I’m considering doing something similar! 🙂

How charming. I like how it completely transforms the vibe and such a great way to welcome a new season. I have never decorated my porch but may be I should give it a try.

I’m thinking I need to decorate the back patio this year too – just to have as much autumn in my life as possible!
Kileen says
I love fall so much for so many reasons and the porch decor is a big reason for that! Yes, I love the fall drinks from Starbucks, the outfits, sweater weather and of course the festive porch decor! This is definitely the best way to decorate in my opinion!

cute & little

I’ll admit, I don’t get to go all-out quite the way I’d like to with a space this small, BUT I do what I can to still have cheery autumnal vibes wherever I can!
Rachel says
I am so, so excited for fall! Since we’re in an apartment building, we don’t have a front stoop to decorate but I’ll definitely be picking up a wreath for our apartment door!

Hehe as you can see, I don’t have much more than a stoop. Someday I hope I have a full porch to decorate! But yes, a wreath is always a good idea! And I’m a fan of lots of pumpkins too!
Adaleta Avdic says
Wow, you’ve done a really good job with the front porch. Question on the pumpkins. How long do they last on the porch without going moldy or getting black? I feel like we had our pumpkins last year for 3-4 weeks and they got really gross so I’m wondering if there’s a time cap on them!
Stephanie Whitman says
I purchased the orange pumpkin in… September? And it lasted through November and was still perfectly healthy and beautiful! I didn’t get it from a pumpkin patch – I got it from Lidl. So maybe they put a protective coating on it? The little white pumpkin came to us in October. I’ve heard you can spray pumpkins with bleach (or give them a bleach bath) to keep from rotting! But maybe we also just ended up with really good pumpkins haha!
Abiodun says
Fall is my favorite time of the year! Thanks for the great tips, and the decor inspiration came right on time. I love the colors! Being home for the past few months, I have all the time to redirect.
Stephanie Whitman says
I love autumn, and decorating is one of my favorite activities. I don’t have all the space in the world, but I certainly try to spruce up my environment as much as I can for the season!
Casey says
I am SO ready for fall too! The food is yummier. The beer is spicier. And the weather starts cooling!
Stephanie Whitman says
Everything is better in autumn if you ask me!
Lee says
So many cute finds! I love decorating my home for fall, it just feels so cozy and relaxing to do. I really want that hope you brought wine door mat!
Stephanie Whitman says
You should get it! It’s so cute and it’s honestly lasted pretty well considering I’ve had it for a year now. It’s a little worn, for sure, but if you live in an environment where the grass isn’t directly next to your doorstep, you might be safe haha!
Sarah Lindner says
I don’t have a formal entry like a porch because I rent, but I love decorating my entrance this time of year. Love how you styled the space! xoxo, Sarah
Stephanie Whitman says
As you could probably see, my little townhome door space is pretty small too – but I do love adding a wreath, a cute doormat, and some pumpkins to brighten it up – inside and out!
Shelly Rawlings says
I love the wreaths you shared! I’m a sucker for a pretty wreath (I have them everywhere) but I confess, I haven’t updated/rotated them out since spring! Time to get back into the seasonal decorating spirit—thanks for these tips!
Stephanie Whitman says
You should definitely pull out your autumn wreaths. They’re always so beautiful!
Lizzie says
These are such cute ideas! I wish we had a porch! We live in an apartment so I might have to decorate my balcony instead 🙂

Yeah! I live in a townhome, so I feel you. That’s why my particular space is so much simpler than the rest of the inspiration photos. But it’s still so cheery for autumn 🙂
Deborah says
Aww these are so cute! I live in a big apartment so I think the most I could do is get a cute fall doormat. I so wish I had a house though – I LOVE Fall!
Stephanie Whitman says
I get that! My townhouse is decorated quite simply as you can see in a few of the photos – just a doormat, wreath, and some pumpkins. Nothing crazy over here 🙂 But there are still fun ways to cheer up a small space, which I love!

I’m in love with that farmhouse look with the two dogs!!

This has really gotten me in the mood for fall, especially after such a hot summer. I love fall decor the most. Mums are my fave. I think I need to start adding a few lanterns to my decor like these examples. Love them!

Can’t believe fall is around the corner! Love the fall decors on your porch, they look so beautiful and I must say Hobby Lobby has amazing stuff!

We’ve been in our house 2 years and I haven’t decorated for fall yet, but hoping to this year. I love the idea of all white pumpkins.

These are really cute ideas – you inspired me to do some shopping! I always think I’m going to do more decor for holidays other than Christmas – maybe this will finally be my year!

I am so incredibly excited for fall and all of these porches just made me so happy! I’m going to break out the fall decor ASAP!

I love pumpkins and a fun doormat for fall! I love mums too but they die so fast I feel like they’re not worth the money.
Ffi Mind Over Meds says
Fall/Autumn is my favourite time of year and I love seeing everyone’s fall decor ideas! I absolutely NEED a cute fall mug for my cinnamon hot chocolate. I love the pumpkins on the porch, although I think if I did that here people would take my pumpkins!
Gina Abernathy says
I love Fall! Pumpkins, fall plants, and fall signs always make for the cutest porches. I am so ready for fall!
Kait says
I love decorating for fall so much, but I always tend to neglect my front porch and focus on inside the house. You have definitely inspired me to think a bit more about my outdoor decorations this year!
Amanda says
TBH my front area gets pretty neglected most of the year. This year I totally want to give my front door some fall vibes, I love these inspiration picks– I’ll be picking up some mums, pumpkins and a fall wreath. Thanks for sharing these ideas!
Carolyn says
SO much inspo! I didn’t decorate my front porch last year, but then again I didn’t really like my house then haha. Now, in my new place, I definitely want to do something cute for the front of my home!
