Cozy & Collected: My Fall Porch Reveal

Get inspired by my beautiful fall porch decor! Create a cozy and welcoming entryway with rustic grapevine, warm textures, and charming autumn decor.

The leaves are starting to turn, pumpkin spice everything is officially back (including my favorite creamer), and you know what that means: it’s time to bring all the autumn goodness to our doorstep!

I’m so excited to share our fall porch with you today, and I think you’re going to love it!

You can check out our front porch when I did my spring porch refresh. (There are some great tips on how to refresh your patio.)

It was very simple and all cleaned up from the drab of Winter, and that refreshed porch looked beautiful all summer long.

But, now that the days are getting shorter and a little cooler, it is time to offer a cozy welcome to our guests.

I wanted to add warm tones and natural elements to the space to make it feel like a warm hug when you came upon our door.

First, I had an idea to create the most lush and full grapevine garland that I could dream of, and I absolutely LOVE it!

Would you believe that this is from old wreaths I had sitting around??

You can find my step-by-step tutorial on how to create your own amazing DIY grapevine garland for your Fall and Winter decor!

This was created with things I already had around the house, so it was basically “free”, right?

Now, let’s move on to how I created my Fall porch.

I started with my tall, rectangle, black planters. I chose them for my porch because they are pretty with my modern farmhouse exterior.

I decided that I was going to start making things easier on myself and ordered these planter risers, and they have changed the decorating game for me.

I used to stuff old styrofoam into the planters, along with various plastic items, to try to get the perfect height for my containers that I set inside of the planters.

If you have ever done this, then you know it is a game of balance.

The containers would always wobble from side to side, and I could never get them to sit just right.

So, I ordered these adjustable risers to put in my planters, and they are so good!

Where have these been all my life?

Then I updated the containers that I used for summer.

I removed the faded and worn plants that were so vibrant in spring and summer, and added styrofoam blocks inside of them to hold the new florals that I would be using.

Then I added the grapevine garland on top and also added some cascading down the front.

I then carried additional full garland up and around my door.

When I was at Hobby Lobby, I found the prettiest faux florals for my planters to add for warmth, texture, and color, and I really like them.

I started adding in all of the florals on either side of the door so that they mirrored each other in pattern, color, and height. I also added a cluster of white pumpkins and pinecones for a departure from the typical warm hues of Fall.

I took leftover twigs and branches from when I made my DIY grapevine garland and added those to the planters as well.

I decided to switch out the eucalyptus plant on the little side table for a fall faux floral in a vase.

And I added the cutest little block printed pillows in the prettiest warm colors.

Because this porch is covered, I can get away with using fluffy down pillow inserts, and I think it turned out so cute.

 

Next year, I think I might try some dried florals and see what that looks like.

Do you typically use the same decor over and over again each year? I would love to know in the comments!

I like to use what I have, but also try to add new things to what I already own.

To transition my porch from Fall to Winter this year, I am going to add some lights to the grapevine, remove the fall florals, and…. well, you’ll just have to come back to see how that turns out!

I hope that this inspires you to create something for your home.

Remember, you can do it yourself, but let’s do it together!
