Choose your favourite from the below style options, or mix and match these ideas for a beautifully layered and textured autumn porch that captures the essence of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pumpkin pile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Arranging a variety of real or fake pumpkins in different sizes, shapes and colours on your porch steps or along your fence is a simple but effective way to brighten up your doorway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mix different types of gourds and squashes for extra variety and colour.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Floral wreath<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Get creative and make your own autumnal wreath, using a combination of dried flowers, colourful leaves and small branches.
\u201cHang it on your front door for an instant seasonal touch,\u201d Martin says. \u201cAdd your foliage to an existing Christmas wreath to repurpose an evergreen wreath for autumn or simply use a wire or wooden base to build your wreath on.\u201d<\/p>

Leaf garland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To go alongside your wreath, or as an alternative, invest in an artificial autumn garland<\/a> or string together some branches of colourful fall leaves to create your own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hang your garland along the porch railing or drape it around the door frame for an instant burst of autumn colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harvest basket<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Grab some rustic baskets and fill them up with seasonal produce like apples, pears, mini pumpkins and dried corn cobs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cArrange them near the entrance for a gorgeous harvest display. A basket display looks great when paired with one or more other decoration ideas,\u201d Martin says.<\/p>

Cornstalk bundle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A bundle of dried cornstalks or bunches of pampas<\/a> adds a touch of rustic charm. Just tie them loosely with twine, and lean against your porch or doorstep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPair with a few piles of pumpkins for a display that includes all the warm autumn tones and textures,\u201d adds Martin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rustic wheelbarrow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPlace a vintage wheelbarrow on your porch and fill it with decorative gourds, pumpkins, and a cosy plaid blanket,\u201d Martin says. \u201cIt\u2019s a twist on the harvest basket display that will add a nostalgic and whimsical touch to your outdoor space.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hay bale<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hay bales will give your porch the perfect Autumn feel. Invest in one or two bales, and top them with cosy blankets and plaid cushions.<\/p>

\u201cIt’s a perfect spot for guests to sit and enjoy the crisp autumn air – just ensure that it is undercover to stop any bad weather from damaging it,\u201d Martin advises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lantern walkway<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lights not only add a warm glow<\/a> to your front entrance in the evening, but will create a magical pathway to your home. Line your doorstep or garden path with lanterns, bottles<\/a> or jam jars containing battery-operated candles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t underestimate the power of lighting in the darker autumn months,\u201d Martin says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
