About this
This is a tag-archive page from the blog Between Naps on the Porch collecting every post tagged "Fall Decorating." It gathers eight seasonal posts spanning 2009 to 2019, covering fall and Halloween porch decorating, tablescapes, DIY pumpkin crafts, and Thanksgiving transformations. Each entry links out to a full post, so the page works as an index of autumn decorating inspiration rather than a single party plan.
The plan
- Pick a fall or Halloween decorating theme for the porch or home
- Gather pumpkins, gourds, corn stalks, Indian corn, and lanterns before decorating
- Choose whether the look will be Halloween-specific or carry through to Thanksgiving so pieces can be reused
Decoration ideas
- Build pumpkin topiaries for an autumn or Halloween front porch
- Decorate the home in white for fall, pairing white pumpkins and white turkeys with a soft green porch
- Create Chinoiserie-style decoupage pumpkins
- Display lit lanterns as a fall-autumn centerpiece
- Set a candlelit fall table with pumpkin tureens, white pumpkins and bark-edged chargers
- Use artificial pumpkins and gourds in a fall display
- Decorate a front porch for fall with corn stalks, an Indian corn door decoration, and a scarecrow
- Transform a hutch from Halloween decor into a Thanksgiving display
- Dress a family room mantel for autumn and use it as centerpiece inspiration
- Warm up the porch for cool fall evenings with a soft, warm blanket
Food & drink
- Serve hot chocolate on the porch on a cool fall night
Activities
- Sit on the porch swing with a warm blanket and a good book on a cool fall evening
- Dine outside on the porch at a fall tablescape
