Unique gourds and colorful pumpkins,
friendly scarecrows and dried decorative corn husks, layered greenery and an
abundance of fall foliage; it’s easy to be a little extra when decorating your
outdoor space for Fall. Avoid that
overwhelming feeling that comes with “idea overload” brought on by Pinterest
after Pinterest search and leave it to Four Seasons Sunrooms and Windows. We’ve
compiled our favorite Fall décor for your outdoor space, so you can spend less
stressing and more time relaxing in your cozy Sunroom this November.
Pumpkins,
Gourds, and Squash
From white and sugar pie pumpkins to
muscat gourds and pattypan squash, Fall gives us some of nature’s best
decorations. Our favorite outdoor space décor tip involves filling outdoor
lanterns with an array of pumpkins, gourds, and squash. This simple, yet
unique, décor adds a pop of color, a splash of fall, and a hint of classic all
at once. This décor works best when done
with multiple lanterns of varying sizes.
Bonus Tip: Having an outdoor party?
Hang mini pumpkins or little decorative gourds from the corners of the
tablecloth to avoid the wind ruining your tablescape. Simply tie a rustic yarn,
such as tweed, to the stems of your pumpkin or gourd and run it through the
grommets found on the corners of some tablecloths.
Autumn
Accents with Layered Greenery
If your outdoor landscape includes
steps, our favorite décor involves layering a mix of greenery and autumn
accents on each side of your steps. You have plenty of options to make your
steps unique to your preferences. Our favorite fall plant is the Coral Bells,
also known as heuchera. Not only are they impossible to kill, but they come in
an assortment of colors and leaf textures that are sure to match any home. Our
next favorite comes in close second: decorative cabbage and kale. These
inedible cabbages serve as the perfect décor option with their rustic colors
and their ability to flower even as the weather gets colder. Be sure to dabble
in some autumn accents such as pumpkins, mums, corn husks, and more to create a
layered look fit for an HGTV photoshoot.
Bonus Tip: Place potted plants such as
the Coral Bells into a hallowed-out pumpkin for a great fall-themed planter.
Embrace
the Classics
If you’re looking for a more low-key
style to your outdoor space that is classic yet unique, try dabbling into the
world of fall pastel colors. Pumpkins and gourds come in many colors, but not
many think of utilizing their pastel options for their home. Soft shades of
whites, pinks, and even blue can be found at local farms and will bring a
classy look to your home instantly. Don’t forget to tie the entire look
together with a classic wreath made out of dried flowers, moss, dried grapevine,
and succulents. For an added touch, you can get these
battery-operated LED Fairy Lights to add a hint of nighttime
sparkle.
The
Flowers of Fall
When you think of fall flowers, an
instant classic that comes to mind are mums. Mums are budget-friendly and come
in varying sizes and colors, but there are other potted flowers that are
overlooked as fall décor. Our favorite is the Stonecrop, a gorgeous
late-blooming succulent that can handle the extremes of winter (and even the
extremes of summer), strong winds, and even frost. If you’re looking for more
of a pop of color than what succulents bring, we suggest Goldenrods which bloom
in late summer through the entire Fall season. Their yellow hue is cheery and
grow easily with other ferns.
