Tips for creating a Fall Outdoor Display


This time of the year has me scooping out the road side farm stands….looking for mums, chrysanthemums, asters, pumpkins and fun Fall foliage (say that 10 times fast..lol) 

I always try to have a few eye appealing/curb appealing displays at the house.  Makes me feel good to come home to a home I love to look at!

A pop of color helps give that porch or walkway some life!

Today I am sharing with you my tips for on how to have an eye appealing Fall display for the outdoors.



1.       Clean out your old containers – switch out the old containers you used for the Summer porch displays.  Give the front porch a makeover!  Making sure these containers are free from “old dirt” and roots from last year.  Hose them out. Baskets are always fun and Fall like. 

2.       EYE your space – what space are you using for the display?  Is there a natural backdrop?  What is the color of the house if it’s up against the siding? If you are using big containers, your height and size of the plants can vary a lot.



3.       Find your “style” – are you a traditionalist? Do you have a contemporary or Victorian style home?  The simple “natural” look can be used in almost any type of home.

4.       Don’t be afraid to mix up the colors! Reds, oranges, greens, purples – all can co-exist together nicely!



5.       Have fun!  Add punch of color with a pumpkin or Indian Corn. Think out of the box. Use a wheel barrow that is all rusted out or different size pots with some burlap wrapped around them.  Don’t over think the arrangement. 





I can't wait to start road side stand shopping soon for our Fall Outdoor display! 

I hope I have inspired you today -
