Make It Lush
Climbing vines can make just about anything look incredible. The rustic texture of these reclaimed French apple crates and chicken crates nod to the wood door. Orange and white pumpkins keep the look from seeming too dark.
Go Asymmeterical
For an eclectic feel, arrange your mums and pumpkins asymmetrically. Did you catch the tiny pumpkins dotting the transom window on this porch?
Add Pops of Color
Update your front porch in the most budget-friendly way possible: by painting thrift store-sourced wicker chairs bright yellow. A floor mat, pillows. and potted plants also help liven up a space.
Symmetry Is Key
Think beyond the stoop and line the front walk with pumpkins, mums, and stalks of corn. Don’t forget up top, either. Mini gourds on ledges put a seasonal spin on traditional window boxes.
Make Pumpkin Planters
You could turn the porch lights on, but glimmering jack-o’-lanterns offer an even better welcome. Copy these leafy garlands using a free template or try one of our other carving ideas.
Line Them Up
Skip carving altogether and fill a bench with mini pumpkins. Lined up, the gourds add the cutest dose of curb appeal you’ll ever see.
Get Personal
Decorating a pumpkin with your house number guides both trick-or-treaters and Thanksgiving visitors alike – or mark the spot on the silhouette of your favorite state.
Go Gilded
Mixed metals can make even gourds look glam. Use silver and gold leaf to dress up an otherwise plain exterior.
