    15 Front Porch Decorating Ideas for Fall: Advice from the Experts

    Nothing says fall like a cosy, fun, and inviting front porch, but coming up with the perfect display can sometimes be tricky. You don’t want to overdo it with the décor, and you certainly don’t want to fall short. Luckily, we’ve asked experts, from around the world, to share their best front porch decorating ideas for fall so you can give your guests a festive welcome.

    Follow mother nature’s lead

    Let mother nature be your guide for mixing colours on your porch or front entry because she never gets it wrong. Pansies are a great fall flower with lots of mixed colours, and pick mums in three colours to coordinate. Hone in on one of those accent colours like yellow, burnt orange, or magenta for accent pillows or accessories. – Porch Daydreamer

    Utilize different heights, textures, and colours

    I always try to layer with different heights, textures, and colours for front porch decorating. This year, I decided to utilize my porch stairs and go for an Ombre effect with my pumpkins. I started with white pumpkins and transitioned down to orange. I added in mums and lanterns to bring in different textures. If you don’t have stairs, try utilizing a bench or stools to add in height and always look for a few pumpkins that could easily stack on to each other. – ChalkfullofLove

    Work outwards

    Fill the space around the door and work outward from there to the steps as you’re decorating the front porch. This gives it an eye-catching illusion of looking like you decorated more than you did. Start with a bright autumn wreath or garland on the door and add some taller accents around the door frame, like a fall sign or colourful garland. Add beautiful fall flowers in a pot at the base and then add lanterns or pumpkins of different sizes, colours, and shapes trailing down the steps. You can add Halloween décor and simply take out those spooky pieces on November 1st. – Lyfetymes

    Mix your styles

    When I decorate the front porch for Autumn I like to mix the traditional orange and red colours of fall with the softer green and white hues of fairy-tale and heirloom pumpkins to create a charming welcome for my guests. – Cottage on Bunker Hill

    Try a muted colour scheme

    To give your seasonal décor a more modern style, use lots of texture and a more muted color scheme like a chunky rust orange throw on the porch swing, plaid pillows mixed in on the swing in muted greens, and soft oranges instead of bright orange. Or, use dried hydrangeas in a gorgeous light green colour both in pots and on a wreath. Try to mix in lots of pumpkins in light green, soft orange, and white to continue the colour theme. Lastly, include a barn-wood sign that rounds out the texture “Fall Pumpkin Market”. – White Oak Farmhouse

    Incorporate a festive doormat

    If you are like many of us who can’t get enough and love the season of all things pumpkins, hedgehogs, and falling leaves, then an autumn doormat is perfect for you and your doorstep. Then, all you’ll need to do is add the pumpkins to your front porch decoration. – Artsy Doormats

    Non-traditional colour schemes

    One unique idea that I would suggest for decorating the front porch this fall is to go with a non-traditional colour scheme. Traditionally, orange pumpkins are used in front porch decorating, but pumpkins also come in blue, green, and white. Just using these colours alone without the oranges would work well for modern architectural homes, homes along the coast, or for anyone who is looking for a change in their fall style. – Plantation House Flowers

    Incorporate recycled plastic

    Utilize materials such as recycled plastic to achieve the desired look of a fall-ready porch. The look of recycled plastic mimics wood, which creates an earthy and cosy feel. Opt for recycled plastic over wood, as it does not fade, warp, or splinter, ensuring that it will last fall after fall. – Sunbrite Outdoor Furniture

    Mix in natural elements

    When it comes to decorating the front porch for fall, we like to keep it simple and natural. Pick 1-3 colours, and mix in natural elements (pumpkins, mums, grasses, etc) that all fall in that colour palette. And don’t forget to anchor your door with a wreath. – Alma Homes

    Use pumpkins, squash, and gourds to your advantage

    A colourful mix of unique varieties of pumpkins, squash, and decorative gourds highlights the beauty of the fall harvest and can take your fall porch display from generic to fantastic. Some of our favourites are Warty Goblin, Long Island Cheese, Golden Butta Bowl, and Blue Delight. When it’s time to swap your fall display for Christmas lights, you can eat the pumpkins and squash, they’re delicious! – Vala’s Pumpkin Patch

    Make use of your fall leaves

    Go out and collect the best and biggest leaves from your nearby parks, schools, and neighbourhoods. Bring them home and let them dry out and then place them strategically under or on your front porch decorations, in areas where they can’t be blown away by the wind. It’s the perfect natural look to complete your autumn porch style. – Canada Mats

    Get personal

    When getting a doormat many people will get one that can appeal to everyone like the general “Hello” or “Hi”. We’re telling you to put something on that speak to you. Add your own family name or quirky sayings from your favourite shows, books, or movies to your mat so when your own friends and family see it they get a feeling of you. – Coco Mats N More

    Consider compostable decoration

    I like to use natural items for fall front porch decorating because they’re easy to source locally and when the season is over, I can compost my decorations rather than take up valuable storage space. My favourite idea that I’ve seen recently is to add a spiral topiary frame to an empty planter and pile small pumpkins and gourds in various colours inside, weave in some bittersweet vines and green ivy, and add more pumpkins around the planter base. Simple, festive, and green. – Merriment Design

    Do the unexpected

    Instead of the normal warm autumn colour palette of oranges, reds and browns, consider using white pumpkins and a neutral coloured wreath for a different and more modern take on fall décor. Stairs are a great place to add pumpkins, candle lanterns and/or potted plants. I love using crates when decorating for fall because they’re so versatile. You can stack them, put pumpkins on them, fill them with garlands, or even set a scarecrow on top. –Black Cat Interiors

    Break the rules

    Let’s break the rules this year and bedazzle the neighbourhood with a unique front porch. We recommend an unusual colour scheme for autumn, all black and white with small orange accents. Instead of traditional pumpkins on the porch, use white-painted pumpkins or wooden pumpkin cut-outs. Place different-sized white pumpkins on either side of the porch accompanied by white mums in black pots. Add swing chairs with soft white blankets to warm you on chill autumn evenings. Get pillows with orange polka dots or zigzag patterns to add an accent colour to spruce up the design. As a final touch, hang a rustic wooden sign on the front door with a welcoming message displayed on it in white to go along the colour palette. – Lily Travis, Front Signs

    Why You Need A Vinyl Mat

    A Mat That Enhances and Protects Your Home

    Our vinyl floormats are mats with a difference, they are completely different to our coir doormats and have a range of unique benefits.
    They are suitable for kitchens, hallways, and BBQ areas. How great are they sounding already? Patterned tiles have been a trend in kitchens around the world for sometime now, meaning our ’tile print’ vinyl mats have been a big hit.

    We have launched 11 different patterns so far, ranging from neural mosaic styles to floral. My favourite thing about these mats is that they blend in with your homes furnishings, they protect your floor whilst looking stylish and on trend. Wipe them clean and move them from room to room, they are very versatile.

     

    Capri Vinyl Floor Mat

    As you can see from the above image, the vinyl mats create an impact whilst blending in with modern surroundings. We have seen these mats placed in rooms of different styles and they only add to the rooms aesthetic.

    Will they fit into my home?

    Did you know they are available in four sizes? Ranging from 72x100cm to 100x147cm. As I’ve previously mentioned, they come in several patterns and we are sure there will be one to suit you. We have bright colours, neutrals and mixed patterns. We have added a none slip coating to these mats, meaning they will stay in place without sliding around the floor.

    Tip: only place these mats on top of a hard surface, such as laminate. They won’t stay in position as easily on carpet or grass.

    Place Your Vinyl Outside

    Are you planning on hosting a garden party in the near future? As the weather improves, this may be on your agenda. Refresh the look of your garden and add a vinyl mat to a cosy corner, creating a social area or protect your floor in the BBQ area. Simply wipe the mat clean and move it inside to protect the rest of your living space.

    How Are Coir Doormats Made?

    An Overview

    As you may know, Artsy Doormats was created in 2016 when we saw a gap in the market for unique doormats. Since then we have been working hard to create funky designs on high quality coir doormats.

    Our team are always finding ways to improve Artsy Doormats, whether that’s by following trends and creating new designs or by quality checking our paint and doormats. We chose to work with coir doormats as they’re incredibly durable and hard working, which is essential when you’re repeatedly wiping your muddy feet on something!

    We hand spray our doormats, this means that every doormat is seen by one of our team before it heads out the door to you. This helps to ensure you’re happy with your doormat, after all it’s got to be Instagram worthy when you receive it!

    So, how are coir doormats made?

    Coir has been used to make doormats for many years and there’s lots of reasons why. Coconut’s are grown with an outer husk attached, this is something you won’t see on them in supermarkets. This is then scraped off the coconut to start the process of making the matting. As coir is completely natural, this makes it 100% organic and biodegradable.

    Fun fact: To produce up to 1kg of coir you will need 100 coconuts!

    Once the process of de-husking is complete, the coconut husk is then left to soak in water, which will encourage bacteria to form. Bacteria will eat away the coconut husk and leave only raw coir behind. The coir is then ready to be spun around and beat until the fibres loosen up, when they’re loosened they will then be moved into a slower-moving drum that will separate fibres into different lengths. Only a specific length of fibres can be used for doormats but the other fibres won’t be wasted, they will go on to be used for other useful items.

    The Final Step

    Finally, the desired lengths of coir fibres are collected together to begin forming the doormat shape. Coir can be placed into various shapes, like our hearts and circles. Our doormat base will always be a brown shade, however it is easy to colour as well. We now have several paint colours that look very vibrant after a couple of coats, this paint can last a long time as long as it’s kept away from bad weather conditions.

    It’s amazing to think about the process that goes into making a doormat, maybe you will think about this when you next treat yourself to an Artsy Doormat.

    All You Need To Know About Coir Doormats

    We have put together a small guide about coir doormats to answer some common questions we get asked about in regards to our doormats, we hope this helps you next time you are browsing through our website and are asking yourself these same questions.

    Curious about the water resistance of coir doormats and their shedding tendencies? Let’s uncover the facts and provide essential care tips to ensure your doormat stays in top shape.

    Waterproofing

    When deciding whether to place your doormat indoors or outdoors, you may wonder if it’s waterproof. Unfortunately, coir doormats are not waterproof. Crafted from natural fibres and backed with anti-slip PVC, prolonged exposure to heavy rain can accelerate wear and darken the mat’s color. To maximize its lifespan, it’s advisable to position your doormat indoors or in a sheltered outdoor area.

    Shedding

    Rumors about coir doormats shedding may have crossed your path, but let’s dispel those concerns. Coir doormats are constructed using natural coconut fibres glued onto a PVC backing. While some fibers may loosen, they typically shed in small quantities rather than clumps. Over time, shedding decreases as loose fibres naturally work their way out.

    To manage shedding, simply shake the doormat occasionally to loosen any loose fibers. Regular vacuuming or brushing will help remove stray hairs and prevent build-up, preserving the design and preventing any fading appearance. Following these quick cleaning tips will keep your doormat looking its best.

    Cleaning

    Do coir doormats require washing? The answer is yes, but remember that they necessitate specific cleaning techniques and should not be placed in a washing machine. Here’s why:

    • Coir doormats are not waterproof.
    • They are too large for standard washing machines.
    • The tough bristly fibers are unsuitable for machine washing.
    • To clean your coir doormat effectively, consider the following factors: the time of year, weekly foot traffic, and the surrounding environment (especially if placed near a muddy entrance). For highly muddy areas, our Country Home collection is an ideal choice.

    For routine maintenance, vacuum your doormat whenever you clean the surrounding floor (preferably weekly). For a more thorough clean, follow a monthly cleaning schedule or as needed.

    Preservation Tips

    To extend the life of your doormat, keep these tips in mind:

    • Regularly shake or vacuum to remove loose coir tufts.
    • Brush or shake out any accumulated dirt on the mat’s surface.
    • Place your doormat indoors or in a sheltered outdoor area.
    • Consider replacing your doormat every 1-2 years for optimal performance.

    By following these care instructions, your coir doormat will maintain its beauty and functionality, welcoming guests with style while providing an effective dirt-trapping solution.

    Are Coir Doormats for Indoors or Outdoors?

    This is a very common question we get asked here at Artsy Doormats. Many argue doormats are for outdoor purposes only but we are here to answer the most common question truthfully to ensure next time you’re looking to purchase one of our doormats, you will not need to ask yourself or Google this question again.

    Our doormats are made from natural coconut coir and then backed with an anti-slip PVC backing. We advise our doormats to be placed indoors or if you wish to place them outdoors, place them in a sheltered area. If the doormats are placed outside and left in bad weather conditions, such as heavy rain, this make the doormat wear faster as the coir is a natural fibre. When rain water is absorbed, the colour of the mat will darken.

    Our doormats help protect your floors from foot traffic, mud and dirt. We found more people who had their doormats inside, was more likely to have people using it when they entered. This is due to when they are placed outside, people don’t think to wipe their feet whilst waiting outside. Also, if people do wipe their feet before entering, will most commonly walk in wet foot prints onto your hallway floor. It defeats the object of a doormat if it is placed outside. We advise, to get the most out of doormat, place yours inside and let the doormat do the rest for cleaner floors in the future.

    To ensure you make the most of your Artsy Doormat, be sure to clean your doormat every other week. You can do this by brushing and vacuuming the loose coir tufts, you can also give it a quick shake to loosen the tufts and then hoover up. This will help preserve your doormat.
