Great Fall Front Entry Decorating Ideas

October 15, 2018  |  Alamogordo Tips, fall decorating ideas, Things To Do

Fall is here! We officially welcomed fall the end of last month and by the looks of our homes in Alamogordo NM community’s décor there are those of you who fell into the fall spirit and didn’t waste any time decorating. But, if you still need to decorate for the fall season read below to discover these great fall front entry decorating ideas.

1. Autumn pallet – Spruce up your front door with something other than a fall wreath. Pallets are a great way to express your love of fall through words or a painting. The sign could read “It’s Fall,” “Hello, Autumn,” “Give Thanks,” or “Happy Harvest,” or be monogrammed with your surname. Or choose an image of a scarecrow, pumpkin, turkey, or another fall inspired image to paint onto the pallet. Hang up your project on the front door by using a color coordinated bow.
2. Fall garland – So many people think Christmas when you say “garland.” But garland can be used for the fall season too. Add splashes of color by hanging fall garland around your front door. You can purchase the garland in stores or online. If you have the time and patience you could also make it a DIY project by using fall leaves, pine cones, pumpkins, or twigs.
3. Front porch planters – If you love pumpkins and mums this is the perfect project for you. Clean off the pumpkins to remove any dirt off of it. Next you should cut a wide circle around the top of the pumpkins, like you would do if making a jack-o-lantern. Clean out the inside of the pumpkins and then cut several holes on the other end to allow for drainage. You can use a knife or a drill bit. Fill the pumpkins with dirt and then add your colorful mums or fall flowers of choice. Display on a rustic table, old wagon, or just place on the ground. You can also save the seeds to roast and enjoy later.
4. Rocking chair – Nothing says fall like plaid. Place a rocking chair in the entryway of your home and then drape a plaid blanket over the chair. Add gourds and small pumpkins to a basket and place on the chair to finish off this fall rocking chair look.
5. Symmetrical Lanterns – Show off your fall spirit with black lanterns. Fill with candles or pumpkins and place on both sides of the door.

W mat – Welcome your family, friends, and homes in Alamogordo NM neighbors into your home with a customized DIY fall inspired welcome mat. Select your design, print it out on contact paper, and then cut it out using a utility knife for precision. Tape or pin your cut out traced image on the door mat and then use a foam brush to slightly paint your design. Make sure you have enough paint handy because the mat will soak up the paint. This project will instantly add personality to your front entry for the season.
