About this
A farmhouse-style Halloween front porch styling post from Honeybear Lane. The author shares how she decorated her first proper front porch for October using Adirondack chairs, a round table, throw pillows, garland, a BOO sign, an orange chevron blanket, and a pumpkin for each family member. She also explains why she moved mums into the flower beds this year after porch pumpkins and mums died quickly the year before.
Tips
- Porch mums and pumpkins can die quickly; consider planting mums in flower beds instead so the porch decor lasts.
- A north-facing porch gets limited sunlight, which can affect flowers placed there.
The plan
- Plant small mums in flower beds rather than relying on porch pots, since last year's porch mums and pumpkins died fast
- Account for a north-facing house — sunlight won't reach flowers on the porch
- Buy one pumpkin for each member of the family to sit on the porch until carving
- a few days before Halloween — Plan to carve the family pumpkins a few days before Halloween
- Start by placing the furniture (Adirondack chairs and a round table) on the porch before layering in decor
Decoration ideas
- Move Adirondack chairs to the front porch with a round table
- Layer in old decor you already own
- Plain brown pillow covers from Hobby Lobby
- Spider pillow from Target
- "Home Sweet Haunted Home" pillow from Gordmans
- Fall leaf garland from Hobby Lobby wrapped with cute Halloween lights
- BOO sign hung on the front door
- Orange chevron blanket draped over a chair
- A pumpkin for every family member displayed on the porch
- Small mums planted in the flower beds
