6 idées de décoration d’automne pour le porche et l’extérieur

Alors que l’été tire à sa fin et que les feuilles commencent à changer de couleur, il est temps de commencer à penser à des idées de décoration d’automne. Que vous soyez spécialisé dans les décorations d’automne à l’extérieur ou que vous recherchiez simplement à améliorer votre extérieur, vous trouverez quelque chose pour tous les budgets et une variété de couleurs de moulures dans la liste ci-dessous.

Front Porch Decorating Ideas for Fall

1. Pumpkins and gourds galore Pumpkins are one of the most famous signs of fall's arrival—and they're not just for carving. Though jack-o-lanterns do make for playful fall porch décor, this fall staple has more to offer for your porch upgrade than you might expect. Try styling your porch with a combination of white and green varieties along with traditional orange pumpkins. Adjust the setup to suit your siding colors as well. For example, cream siding like LP® SmartSide® ExpertFinish® Sand Dunes pairs great with a mixture of greens and whites, while black siding such as LP SmartSide ExpertFinish Abyss Black looks great with oranges and yellows. Vary pumpkin size and incorporate gourds or other harvest finds to your liking.

2. Add height with cornstalks If your front porch has vertical posts, adding corn stalks is a unique way to incorporate natural elements for a festive fall porch—plus they're a great complement to neutral siding colors. Our favorite neutral to use for décor like this is LP SmartSide ExpertFinish Prairie Clay. Fasten the corn stalks to your posts or place them in a black planter next to your front door to frame your entrance. To complete the look, add pumpkins around the base or tie a festive ribbon about halfway up the cornstalk.

3. Cozy up your outdoor seating area If you have a spacious front or back porch, the cooler weather that comes with fall makes it the perfect time to take advantage of your outdoor space and try out some fall outdoor decorating ideas. If you're starting fresh, a pair of chairs can easily become a cozy oasis by adding an outdoor rug and festive throw pillows. If you have a little more room, add a coffee table or fire pit and finish it with string lights and blankets.

Fall Decorating Ideas for Outside

Even if you don't have a front porch, you can still create a festive exterior with florals and other fall exterior accessories.

1. Go floral Flowers are usually thought to be a spring accessory, but fall blooms like mums, goldenrods and dahlias can add fresh color and warmth to your exterior. While mums look great stacked on the steps of a front porch, you can achieve a similar effect by using hanging planters to line your entrance or placing them next to your front door.

2. Get festive with fall wreaths Looking for easy fall décor ideas? In almost any season, wreaths will be your go-to exterior accessory for a quick home update. With so many options on the market, you'll be able to find a wreath to suit almost any siding color. For blue siding shades such as LP SmartSide ExpertFinish Summit Blue and Rapids Blue, opt for a pop of orange or red as a complementary color. 

3. Make it spooky Recently, more modern takes on Halloween décor have made their way into exterior home design trends. White brick or siding such as LP SmartSide ExpertFinish siding in Snowscape White is the ideal backdrop for spooky décor such as black bats organized in a flying pattern that swoops across the front door or oversized black felt spiders crawling across your porch. Bring the festivity into the yard with miniature white sheet ghosts or black witch hats hanging from tree branches.
