Fall Decorating for a Country Porch

Decorating a country porch can be easy when you make use of accents and color schemes. Especially for Fall decorating, the accents can be as simple as a Fall garden flag and a Halloween door mat. Adding some splashes of red, orange or yellow can complete your look. Of course, these are simple. We never want to go too crazy, unless we consider ourselves crazy in our decorating.

Fall Garden Flags for Decorating


Fall garden flags are the easiest decor item to turn your country porch from a summer haven into an Autumn delight. There are multiple ways you can use pretty garden flags to create the look and theme of Fall.
  • Wall art - if you have a wall as part of your country porch, you can hang a garden flag directly on the wall like a poster. 
  • Breezy art - if you have a ceiling or taller shelf as part of your country porch, hang your garden flag from there. The breezes will keep the flagging flowing nicely and draw attention to it. 
  • Grounded art - use a flag stake and insert into the ground at the entrance to your country porch. It will welcome both you and visitors. 

Halloween Door Mat and Other Accessories


Lest we forget, Halloween is a major celebration for the Fall season. Adding a Halloween door mat will accent your Autumn themed country porch.

But, don't forget to add other accents. A throw pillow or two in a Fall color or design works well. Try adding a solid colored outdoor mat or rug in front of a chair or table.

If you like to entertain on your country porch, a simple red, orange or yellow table cloth will add to your Autumn theme. Even a leave-design throw blanket or quilt can help with your decorating. We love to work with easy accent pieces and these will make your guests welcome and comfortable.

So enjoy decorating for the season with Fall garden flags, special accent pieces and Halloween door mats. The simplicity is worth it.

Halloween Door Mats for Fun Porch Decor

Decorating your porch for Halloween can be very simple with just the addition of a door mat. You can go nuts with lots of other scary and creepy decor. Or add in a few pumpkins to make a little vignette, but a Halloween door mat is a must to be included.

Personally, I like the coir mats. They are made from shredded coconut hulls and are tough as you need for a door mat. If you haven't seen or tried one of the coir mats, you need to. These are the best mats I've used.

Besides with standing tons of wear and tear, they are weather resistant. Sun or rain doesn't effect them or their designs.

That means your Halloween door mat will last for many years to come. As you can imagine, this kind of quality is not the most inexpensive you can get. But, they certainly are affordable.

Think of your Halloween door mat as part of your October decor. This isn't something that you use only for the night of Halloween, but set up your decor on your porch early in October so you can enjoy it for weeks. Your guests will enjoy it as well.

Welcome everyone, including yourself, and decorate your country porch with charming door mats all designed just for Halloween.
