With annual sunshine and minimal foliage, Florida homeowners often look for ways to create warm and cozy fall festive spaces.
There are several ways that Sunshine State homeowners can spice up their outdoor porches, patios, and decks any time of the year with a few inspiring suggestions.
Spice Up Your Home with These 3 Porch Projects This Fall
One of the best ways to enjoy the seasonal cool, crisp air is by sitting on your festively decorated porch while sipping on a warm cup of tea, coffee, or cocoa.
Below are a few fall favorite porch projects to try at your home this season.
Front Door Facelift
What better way to kick off the Autumn season than by giving your front door a little facelift? You can achieve this by applying a fresh coat of paint which is a great option anyway if it has chipping paint or is a bit lackluster in color. Consider fall colors like brick red or mustard yellow, but also double as tasteful color options year-round. You can further elevate your front door’s appearance with decorative trim.
Don’t forget to update the hardware to something more current too like upgrading to a smart lock which can enhance your home’s security and allow you to remotely lock and unlock your front door.
Cozy Seating Area
A fall festive porch isn’t complete without a cozy seating area. Chilly or warm, a home’s porch is a versatile space with seating areas that can easily transition from season to season. Here are a few simple touches you can easily implement to transform your summer sitting area into a fall festive and cozy space:
- Replace your cushions
- Add or swap out your outdoor rug
- String a few twinkle lights from the ceiling
- Place a few flameless candles on surfaces for an inviting glow
- Consider adding a patio heater or electric firepit for extra warmth as it gets cooler
Have fun with seasonal decorations
Once you have completed any home or seasonal renovations or DIY projects, spice up your porch with a few finishing fall touches. Consider a fall wreath that can transition with the winter and spring seasons by swapping out its florals. You may also want to place some pumpkins and fall foliage or greenery in a few pots around your porch.
And, who can forget about the festive messages that can make any guest feel extra welcome? Consider getting a chalkboard sign and writing personalized, seasonal messages, or swap out your door mat per the season.
